Number 5: They don’t want you to find their ugly truth.
A narcissist doesn’t want you to know their ugly truth because it threatens their carefully constructed image and can expose their abusive behavior to others. Narcissists often present a facade of perfection, projecting an image of success, intelligence, and charm to the outside world. This image is carefully crafted to hide their insecurities and flaws and to maintain their power and control over others. If you were to discover the narcissist’s ugly truth, such as the history of abuse, lies, or infidelity, it could shatter their carefully constructed image and leave them vulnerable to criticism and judgment.

Furthermore, if others were to discover the narcissist’s true nature, it could threaten their ability to maintain control over their victims and could lead to consequences such as social ostracism or even legal repercussions. As a result, a narcissist will often go to great lengths to hide their true nature, including lying, gaslighting, and projecting their own flaws onto others.
In conclusion, they want their facade to remain intact and you to stay in the narcissistic form. That way, they will get to control you and extract maximum fuel or supply.
