Number 6: They Won’t Text You First.
Narcissists hate texting first. They think it’s a sign of weakness, so they won’t do it. They are also terrible at making plans and keeping them, so you’ll have to be the one to say:” Hey, let’s hang out today” or “I’m going to see a movie tonight, want to come.” Narcissists want to control the conversation and ensure it’s going in the direction they want it to go. They don’t want to seem too eager or desperate, so they’ll hold off until you reach out. Once you do though, it’s game on, they will hound you until you respond to them. They might even get angry if you don’t respond to their texts quickly enough.
Number 7: They Would Fake Care About You.
Narcissists are about keeping up appearances, including making you think they care about you, they might even go their way to make you think they care. You may notice that your narcissist is texting you out of the blue and asking how your day is going, or telling you how much she misses hanging out with you. It’s easy to fall for this because narcissists are very good at faking it until they don’t need your attention anymore.
Narcissists will pretend to be interested in your life and might even ask questions about what you’re up to. But the thing is, they don’t care about you, they just want to use you as a source of Supply. Just because the narcissist texts a lot doesn’t mean that they are interested in what’s going on in your life or cares about your well-being. Don’t be fooled, they are only doing it to gain more power over you.

Narcissists will act hot and cold. They’ll send you messages that make it sound like they’re totally into you, but then, they’ll ignore your texts for days. They can be sweet and caring, but at the same time, they can be cruel… they can be brutally honest but also lie to your face. A narcissist may seem in love with you one moment and then act as if they don’t know who you are the next.

This is because they are trying to make you want them, which is an integral part of the cycle of abuse. You know that feeling when you’ve just met someone and everything feels exciting in you, narcissists know how to tap into that feeling and keep it going for as long as possible.
