Narcissists love to brag. Whether it’s about their accomplishments, their intelligence, or how they’re superior to others, you’ll often see a lot of boasting in their texts. They might talk about how they outsmarted someone at work or saved their company a huge amount of money, while simultaneously putting down others as inept or incompetent.
This constant need for praise and validation is a hallmark of narcissistic behavior. If you notice that they’re always positioning themselves as the hero of every story, while downplaying or ignoring the contributions of others, you may be dealing with a narcissist.
5. Self-Centered Photos
Narcissists also love sending photos—of themselves. If your inbox is filled with pictures of them and not much else, it could be a sign. Narcissists believe that you must be as obsessed with them as they are with themselves. They rarely ask for pictures of you or include others in their photos. It’s all about them.
This obsession with self-image can extend to social media as well, where they might post pictures regularly in an attempt to seek constant admiration and attention.
Conclusion
Texting with a narcissist can be emotionally draining and confusing. From love bombing and future faking to constant bragging and self-obsession, these behaviors can leave you feeling overwhelmed and undervalued. If you recognize these signs in your interactions, it might be time to step back and reassess the relationship. Understanding these patterns can help you protect yourself from emotional manipulation and maintain healthier boundaries in your relationships.
