Deep dives
Signs of a Narcissist
Narcissists exhibit behavior where they can be great on certain occasions, despite causing suffering and pain. This unpredictability can make victims believe the relationship is what they always wanted. However, the narcissist's positive behavior is often linked to their needs being met, and it does not reflect a genuinely healthy relationship. This behavior manipulates the victim's perception and keeps them emotionally attached.
Impact of Empathy in Narcissistic Relationships
Empathy, a defining quality for many, becomes a tool used against them by narcissists. Victims often empathize with the narcissist's hardships, leading to continued forgiveness and excuses for their toxic behavior. The narcissist leverages the victim's empathy to avoid accountability and perpetuate manipulative actions, ultimately causing emotional harm and self-doubt.
Swift Discard and Emotional Disconnect
Narcissists demonstrate a rapid and effortless ability to discard individuals once they no longer serve their needs. This abrupt disconnection, even after significant history or emotional investment, can be disorienting and bewildering for the victim. The narcissist's lack of attachment and empathy is evident in how easily they sever ties, showcasing a self-centered and callous nature.
