The second you stop showing weakness, you break their spell completely. You will see it—they’ll start pacing, getting agitated, or accusing you of being cold and distant. What they really mean is that you have become unreadable. Unreadable people terrify narcissists because they cannot manipulate what they cannot understand. They will keep trying to bait you, throwing old insults, guilt trips, and even affection—anything that sticks—to get you to reveal something they can use. But the more you give them nothing, the more their power diminishes. You will notice how their words start to lose weight, how their presence stops shaking you because strength to them is not love; it is rejection.
They crave weakness because weakness gives them access. The moment you stop bleeding in front of them, I’m telling you, you stop feeding them. That is when you finally see the truth: they were never that strong; they were just living off your openness. Now it’s time for you to close those cracks. If you want me to help you with that, you can join my Thrive After Narcissistic Abuse membership program, a one-of-a-kind experience where you move from stabilizing your life from confusion and pain to clarity and confidence. It’s open only for a few days; the link is in the description. I will see you on the other side.
