Deep dives

The Illusion of Closure

You will never achieve closure from a narcissist primarily because they avoid accountability for their actions. Even after addressing their behaviors and the chaos they create, narcissists often provide hollow apologies born from exhaustion rather than genuine remorse. This leads to a frustrating cycle where individuals mistakenly believe that an acknowledgment of wrongdoings could bring satisfaction, yet any apology received feels unsatisfactory. As a result, the expectation of receiving true closure remains a fantasy, which can be particularly maddening for those involved with narcissistic personalities.
