7. Phones, Phones, Phones!
Social media is the narcissist’s home of admiration and power. They have followers, likes, comments, and shares; a classic dopamine-loop structure. Suspicious behavior can be seen in many ways: Some narcissists will not have any social media accounts while others will have multiple. Those without accounts are harder to catch in this digital age. Those who have accounts will present an exaggerated image of themselves. Again,… too good.
In these accounts, you will find flirtatious comments, openly hitting on others. If there are no obvious provocative comments, then the narcissist will either be on dating sites or follow a lot of explicit sites. Narcissists absolutely enjoy love triangles. They always keep their admirers and exes close to satisfy their need for validation and attention.
They sometimes don’t follow your accounts or suddenly stop posting photos of the two of you. Is your partner smiling on their phone till the late hours of the night? Are they intentionally keeping you away from their phones? It’s likely they’re hiding something from you!
8. Sudden Change In Behaviors and Fluctuations In Physical Attention.
If your partner suddenly seems uninterested in you physically, they may be satisfying their needs elsewhere. The same is true if they start displaying a higher libido than usual. It could mean that the person they’re cheating on you with isn’t currently available, so they turn to you again.
Has your partner started paying much more attention to their hygiene and appearance? Yes, that is a red flag. Remember that narcissists are masters of first impressions.
9. Love Bombing.
This means showering you with gifts out of the blue. They shower you with attention and affection to throw off the scent of their unfaithful actions. Suddenly making you feel special is a long-standing tactic of narcissists. While dating or in a more established relationship, a cheating narcissist can insist on separate accounts or spend a lot of money on a whim without giving any explanation. When they are caught, they are evasive, telling half-truths and avoiding conversation about their cagey behavior.

Keep in mind that the narcissist likes to splash the cash on new relationships at the early stages to reel in their targets. If you notice a sharp decrease in the amount of money and time they want to spend on you, it’s likely they are focusing their attention somewhere else.
