Number 4: Narcissists will try to make you feel bad about yourself.
They will try to make you feel bad about yourself. If you have recently broken up with a narcissist, they may try to make you feel like there’s something wrong with you. Narcissists will gaslight you into believing it was your fault that your relationship with them didn’t end up well.
Narcissists want to make themselves feel better every time. So after losing you, they’ll continuously accuse you of things they are doing, even if it’s their fault; they’ll make you feel bad by projecting everything onto you. This is called “victim blaming.” They employ these common methods to stay on the offense, place others on unstable ground, and continue to make others feel bad.
Number 5: Narcissists will play the victim.
Narcissists also love to play the victim card when it comes to breakups. If a narcissist breaks up with someone, they will blame on everything to their partner. They always have an excuse for why their behavior is justified, so they can take responsibility for themselves. They would reason out that their partner is too clingy or needy, their partner doesn’t make them feel special anymore, or their partner doesn’t listen enough.
Narcissists will always depict themselves as victims when things don’t go as planned. They make you feel you owe them some punishment or compensation for failure to deliver their expectations.
Number 6: Narcissists will make you feel guilty for wanting to leave them.
The truth is you are not the problem here. But if you try to go, they will make you feel it’s your fault because they have been doing everything right. You need to realize that it is not about what you did wrong, it is about what they did wrong to manipulate you and to stay with them.
Narcissists are skilled at manipulating people and will use all their tools to keep you around. They may accuse you of having an affair or being a bad person. They may tell you that they love and care about you, but if you try to leave them, they’ll say that they won’t be able to function without you.
