The Craving to Prove They Were Right
The narcissist can’t bear being wrong. Another hidden craving is to prove to themselves and others that their story about you was right all along. They want to paint you as the unstable one, the one who abandoned everything without direct access to gaslight you.
The Urge to Test Your Boundaries
One of the most persistent cravings during no contact is to test your strength. To the narcissist, your boundaries aren’t lines of respect, but walls to be broken. Every ignored call, every unanswered message is a test. If you falter, even once, they file it away as proof: “I can still reach you. I still hold power.”
The Hunger for Information
Another craving that burns in a narcissist during no contact is a desire to know everything about your life. They want scraps of information: who you’re with, how you’re doing, whether you’re soaring or stumbling. It’s not because they care; it’s because your progress becomes fuel for their envy.
The Need to Escape Their Emptiness
When the noise dies down and all supply is cut off, the narcissist is left with something they can’t outrun: the emptiness inside. Your absence removes a distraction, and without you, they have to face themselves. That silence terrifies them.
Reclaiming Peace and Power
Understanding these cravings isn’t about searching for love from the narcissist. It’s about naming the truth. These cravings aren’t rooted in care, regret, or any genuine desire to reconcile. They’re born of desperation, fragile ego, and a need to keep control. That’s why your choice to go no contact is so radical and powerful. You’ve shut off the oxygen to their false world. Every time you hold your silence, you’re denying the very fuel they live on.
Focus on yourself now. You’re healing. You’re rebuilding your joy, brick by brick, step by step. Surround yourself with those who see you, who respect you, and who love you for who you are. Your peace of mind is not negotiable. Your freedom is not for sale. Stand strong, hold your silence, and live free.
