Moving on to number nine: narcissists break promises without guilt. The narcissist might promise you amazing things—a trip together, real changes, or emotional growth. However, when it comes time to deliver, it’s like those promises never even happened. They forget them as quickly as a Snapchat disappears. And when you remind them, suddenly you are the problem—the one who’s too negative or too demanding. The truth is, following through takes effort, and more importantly, caring. Narcissists just don’t have that in them for you. They throw around promises like empty words because it’s easier than actually showing up and being genuine.
Finally, we’re down to number ten: narcissists dismiss your boundaries as drama. Suppose you tell the narcissist what you need—a little space, respect, or a “no.” However, instead of understanding, they act like you’re overreacting or being dramatic. It’s frustrating, right? But narcissists don’t see boundaries as healthy or normal; they see them as threats to their control. To them, your limits are like challenges to their power, and they can’t stand that. But here’s the truth you need to hear: you deserve to set boundaries, and they don’t get to decide how you feel or what you need. Their drama accusations are just a way to avoid respecting you, and you don’t have to put up with that.
Now that you know the truth—that narcissists don’t really care—it’s easier to stop blaming yourself for their hurtful behavior. You deserve people who see you, support you, and respect your feelings. Remember, protecting your heart means choosing those who truly care, not the ones who only pretend. It’s okay to walk away from those who make you feel sore or confused. Healing starts when you stop trying to fix what was never really broken by you. Trust yourself; you’re stronger than you think, and better things and people are waiting for you.
