When this happens to a narcissist, they begin to miss you so badly. Welcome! Let’s address a common misconception: that narcissists are Bizarro humans who can’t feel love or empathy like the rest of us. But that’s just it—a misconception. In reality, non-narcissists might find themselves in similar relationships and cherish them as genuine love. One thing we come to learn in life is that everyone has their perspective. That’s why it can be hard to dissuade someone, even when you have all the facts and evidence.
Narcissists suffer from a disorder, sure, but not everyone with this disorder lacks all traces of self-awareness. They miss you for the same reasons non-narcissists would miss someone: because of a connection, shared interests, and common goals. Here’s an unfortunate truth: narcissists usually end up in relationships with people who are on the same wavelength—like psychopaths, degenerates, or other narcissists. No matter how many times they may apologize or try to win back your trust after cheating on you or acting ruthlessly, their relationships tend to get worse and worse. So be wary of getting involved with a narcissist, especially as an empath who gets emotionally invested in relationships. It can be easy to get caught in a cycle of dark, traumatic experiences. When it’s finally over and you find yourself grieving, it can be a tough place to be in. But know this: better things are on the horizon, and soon you’ll be able to let go and move on.
Navigating a relationship with a narcissist is no easy feat, whether it’s your parent, friend, or significant other. Personally, I’ve had the misfortune of experiencing all of the above. There’s one guy in particular who stands out—a guy who might as well be the textbook definition of a narcissist, or even a psychopath. Initially, he was irresistible; he had a seductive grin, the charm of a Casanova, and a seemingly successful career. But it was all just surface-level glitz and glam. As I soon learned, narcissists are all facade at first, and it’s not until you get to know them that their true selves start to show. Let me tell you, it’s not pretty.
This person, whom I believe to be a narcissist, eventually showed me his true colors. He began belittling me, stealing from me, and doing all the things my ex-girlfriend did to me. It’s just their true nature—there’s no hiding it for long. The people we surround ourselves with reveal our character. A good person with good intentions will attract good people, and their relationships will flourish. But for a narcissist, it’s the opposite. Trust me, they never have your back, and you learn that the hard way.
