When The Narcissist Knows You’re Done, This Is What Happens
Thank you for staying tuned. The next video will be out soon, so I’ll see you then. Before we end today’s video, let’s summarize briefly: when the ice has finally broken and you realize it’s time to move on from the narcissist, what happens next? The narcissist will try to regain your attention because they fear that despite your newfound independence, you’ll still be fixated on them. Their pride is devastated by the realization that you now hold power, as they prefer to play the leading role in all relationships.
The goal of the narcissist is to take control. However, when they reach out and are turned down, it can be humiliating and damaging to their self-esteem. An attachment disorder is what keeps them from moving on; they are unable to form healthy bonds and treat their partners as objects rather than human beings. As a result, they will do as they please and expect to be welcomed back with open arms despite the harm they have caused.
However, it doesn’t work this way. The damage remains, and it’s not as simple as accepting them back without explanation. Narcissists struggle to accept the fact that you have moved on and will do everything in their power to hold on to you once they know you are done. If they see that you are worth engaging with again, they will start the cycle of appreciation, depreciation, and eventual abandonment all over again.
When you establish boundaries and cut ties, the narcissist may still try to reach out or keep tabs on you. Only when you take control of the situation and declare that the relationship is over will it finally come to an end. A relationship with a narcissist goes through several stages, and the discard is not the final one; it is merely the last step in ending a connection.
So, it’s crucial to establish limits and recognize when something is amiss. Nothing else is heard from the narcissist when you stop responding. But it’s essential to remember that the decision to cut ties and take control of your life is yours. So hold your head high, lock it down with a pin, and know that you have made the right choice for yourself.
