2. Play the Victim.
The next tactic the Narcissist will use is where they play the victim, even the suicidal victim who cannot live without you.
Manipulators are the ones who will use this statement of wanting to end their life if you leave them or don’t take them back.

Narcissists love to cry when it suits them. It adds that extra punch they think is needed to tug at our heartstrings. But believe me, when I say this, narcissists can cry on demand, both the male and the female Narcissist, and those tears are not genuine.
Narcissists know that as empathetic beings there are things that can be said and done to make us weak reconsider letting them back into our lives. And sometimes, Narcissists would carry out the most desperate acts in order to get our attention and empathy.

Resist their fake acts of kindness and beware of all the Niceties to get back into your life.
