2. Core Differences: Love and Intentions
Sign number two: A narcissistic man loves what he can extract from you, while a healthy man loves you for who you are. If you ask a narcissistic man, “Why do you love me?” he won’t be able to give you a real answer. He might say, “I love you because of the benefits I get from you,” or “I love you because you give me attention,” or even “I love you because you meet my needs.” None of these responses will be about you as a person. He defines you by what you do for him—that’s why his love is performance-based. On the other hand, if you ask a healthy man the same question, he will give you a clear answer. “I love you because I love you. I love you because you’re a part of my life, and I’m a part of yours. We share our lives together. I love your personality and your identity.” A healthy man doesn’t just love you for what you do for him; he loves who you are.
3. Core Differences: Embracing Potential
Sign number three: A narcissistic man is threatened by your greatness, which is why he’s so jealous and competitive. He hates your potential because he can’t have it, and he can’t take it away from you, so he tries to destroy it. He’s threatened by your greatness because he knows that if you fully manifest it, you might leave him. That’s why he plants seeds of doubt in your mind, cripples your confidence, and constantly tells you that you’re not good enough. In contrast, a healthy man will embrace your potential and accept you for who you are. He won’t feel threatened by your boldness or the strength of your character. Instead, he will hold space for you and support you in becoming the best version of yourself. He knows that a relationship is about mutual growth, respect, and moving forward together.
