The third and final thing a narcissist wants to hear from you is your plans. They want to know what you’re up to, who you’re seeing, and what you’re planning to do so they can sabotage you. Narcissists are very competitive and want to stay ahead of others. Knowing what you’re doing allows them to plan how to outdo you. Whether it’s a new relationship, starting a business, enrolling in a course, or any other personal goal, don’t share it with a narcissist. Though they may smile and wish you well, their heart is far from you. They wish for your failure because it makes them feel better about themselves.
The only time they may want someone else to succeed is if they can benefit from it, but even then, they despise that the success didn’t come from them. The negative energy they send your way is something you don’t need. Narcissists believe success should only be theirs, and they want everyone else to fail so they can feel superior.
Conclusion
So, those are the three things the narcissist wants to hear from you: “I love you,” your secrets, and your plans. None of this is because they care or want to help—in fact, it’s quite the opposite. They seek to destroy you or sabotage your efforts. Keep what’s close and dear to you away from the narcissist. Set boundaries, and never trust a narcissist.
Sharing is caring!
