Ah, the crown—the symbol of a king, a ruler, someone who rules the world. A narcissist wears their crown all day, every day. It’s made of ego and shines bright as long as people are bowing, admiring, and telling them how wonderful they are. But you? You just ignored them. With that, you did something that feels like breaking their crown. Their ego cracks. They can’t stand the thought that someone didn’t worship the ground they walk on. They feel dethroned, like an emperor with no subjects. The cracks in their crown begin to show, and the pressure builds.
It’s as if the world that once revolved around them is suddenly collapsing—all because you didn’t feed the beast. But here’s the beauty of this: when that crown cracks, they’ll do anything to fix it. They’ll scramble to rebuild their kingdom, trying guilt, manipulation—anything to make you restore their crown. But here’s the truth: their crown was never real to begin with. It was built on a foundation of lies and empty validation. The moment you stop playing their game, you expose that truth. You make them see the frailty of the throne they’ve been sitting on.
Now you’ve got the power. The crown is in your hands. You decide whether they get to wear it again. But don’t forget: if you allow them back into your life without making them earn that crown, you’ll only find that their reign is just as fragile as it was before. Sooner or later, they’ll expect to be crowned again, only this time the cracks in their ego are too big to ignore.
Look, ignoring a narcissist isn’t just a move; it’s a game changer. You’re shattering their mirror, sending them into a storm, cutting their puppet strings, and leaving them standing alone on an empty stage. Every step you take away from them is a step closer to stripping away their fragile ego, exposing the cracks in their crown. They won’t like it. They’ll lash out, manipulate, and guilt-trip. But here’s the kicker: you’ve got the power. When you stand firm, when you stop feeding the beast, you take back control. You are the one calling the shots, not them.
