Number 3: You are stronger than before.
When you leave and go no contact, you suddenly discover that you have a voice and a will. A string you never had before when you’re with a narcissist. Narcissists suppress your voice and will, making you feel small and incompetent. When you break free from them, it’s like an explosion of energy. You find yourself capable of doing things that you never thought possible.
The Narcissist will be conceived that you will become stronger once you have no contact. You may struggle with self-doubt and worthlessness at the beginning of your no-contact period. Still, as you continue the process and begin to feel yourself again, you’ll discover that you are more resilient than ever.
Number 4: You are not interested in them.
Narcissists cannot acknowledge that other people might have their thoughts, feelings, and desires. Walking away from them without contact sends the message that you are no longer interested in them or what they want. They may not tolerate this at first; they will do everything in their power to get you back under their control, so you must be prepared for everything when you go no contact.
When you don’t give them attention or respond immediately, you assert that you have boundaries and limits that must be respected. This may make the narcissists feel ignored and rejected, but remember that you no longer accept poor treatment from people who have previously mistreated you.
Number 5: You don’t care about them.
Narcissists are known for their inability to feel empathy. They can be downright cruel without even realizing it. If you have ever been in a relationship with one, you know how easy it is for them to hurt you without even realizing it. By cutting contact with a narcissist, you are making it very clear that you don’t care about them anymore. They may even interpret it as a sign that you never cared about them.
Narcissists are so self-absorbed that they can only interpret your actions in terms of how they affect the relationship and their feelings. They will assume you don’t care about them if you’re not contacting them. That makes them sad, which makes them angry, which leads to a vicious cycle of toxicity that can continue for years.
