Here’s the kicker: narcissists can’t handle rejection. They can’t handle being ignored. They can’t handle the thought that someone, especially someone they saw as beneath them, could walk away and thrive without them. And thrive, you will! Because here’s the truth: the narcissist’s absence in your life isn’t a loss; it’s a gain—a massive one. You’re free—free from their lies, free from their manipulation, free from the constant emotional roller coaster.
And the best part? The more you heal, the more you grow, the more you become the person you were always meant to be. The more it eats away at them. They’ll try to reel you back in, of course. They’ll hoover, they’ll love-bomb, they’ll play the victim. But here’s the thing: you’re not the same person you were when they first got their hooks into you. You’re stronger, wiser, and you see them for what they really are. And that—that’s what terrifies them the most.
If you think you’re the one pulling the strings in a relationship with a narcissist, think again. You’re not. Not even close.

And the sooner you realize that, the sooner you can start to untangle yourself from their web.
Now let’s flip the script for a second. Imagine you’re the narcissist. Picture this: you’re in a relationship with someone who’s genuine, kind, and loving—someone who trusts you, who believes in you, who sees the best in you even when you don’t deserve it. This person, they’re your source of supply, your validation, your ego boost. And you? You’re wearing a mask. You’re hiding your true self, manipulating them, gaslighting them, feeding off their goodness like a parasite.
