And here’s where it flips: the second you stop chasing validation from the narcissist, the moment you stop wondering what they’re doing, who they’re with, or how they’re spinning the story, you take back what they tried so hard to steal—your worth. See, narcissists don’t come for the weak. No, they zero in on the strong ones—the ones with light, with heart, with a real fire inside. That’s exactly why they try to dim it. They twist your reality, chip away at your confidence, and whisper that you’re the problem.
But deep down, they’re terrified—terrified of your clarity, of your strength, of the day you stop seeing them through the soft lens of empathy and start seeing them for what they are: a parasite feeding on your light. They need others to prop them up—always, constantly. But you? You’ve got something they’ll never have: the ability to grow, to heal, to rise up out of the mess without needing a damn audience to clap for you.
That right there is what drives them crazy. Because when you stand tall, unbothered, unchained, unstoppable, you take away the only thing they ever truly wanted: control.
