The Dark Truth About Narcissists: Why They Can’t Truly Love Anyone

Narcissists reveal themselves early if you know the signs:

1. They “Future-Fake”:
   Talks about marriage, kids, or moving in together way too fast. It’s not romance—it’s a tactic to fast-track your loyalty.
2. They Hate Your Boundaries:
   Say “no” to something small, like rescheduling a date, and they’ll guilt-trip you (“I guess you don’t care about me”).
3. They’re Charmers… With a Dark Side:
   They’re adored by strangers but have zero long-term friends. Dig deeper, and you’ll hear exes, coworkers, or family describe them as “manipulative” or “selfish.”
4. They Mirror Your Personality:
   Suddenly share your hobbies, values, or life goals? They’re mimicking you to create false intimacy.
