A relationship with a narcissist is exhausting, so how do you discover it early?

partner of your dreams 

Narcissists think they are special and deserve nothing but the best. If they choose to date someone, that person must also be special. They start showering you with love and care, even if you've only known them for a very short time.

If you become very close to them, it may seem like everything is going well. However, this is a unifying narcissistic strategy called "love-bombing" that aims to woo you and influence you until you are no longer able to let go of them.

Always remember: what comes easy, goes easy. True love takes time and effort, and doesn't come as easy and plentiful from the first moment as prepackaged products, so don't be fooled by this “beautiful beginning” in order to be in a relationship with a narcissist who may destroy your self-confidence and appreciation.

Desire for constant praise 

Once the "love-bombing" phase is over, things take a sharp turn to the left, according to the signs reported by The Good Man Project. The narcissistic partner will dominate most of the conversations, and the majority of the conversations will be about themselves. If you try to change the subject, you will be in trouble.

This is because narcissists rate themselves as better than everyone else, but at the same time this sense of self is so fragile, they need external verification and reassurance that someone else is in love with them.

Once you stop praising them in every moment and situation they start to panic. This is manifested in accusations such as “You don’t care about me”, “You no longer love me” or “You are no longer attracted to me”, which automatically prompts you to resume the praise.

Ignore your feelings

One of the most common complaints from victims of narcissistic abuse is the narcissistic partner's constant indifference to the other person's feelings. Every time you try to share your feelings of sadness or anger, you will be met with indifference or boredom.

The main reason for this lack of empathy is that your feelings don't reach them to affect them. The narcissist is so indulged in self-love that he or she has no motivation to harbor love for anyone else.

However, there is evidence that narcissists are able to empathize with others, but are unwilling to do so, and this ignoring alone is worth telling you that you are in a relationship with a narcissist.

blaming you

One of the hallmarks of narcissists is their ability to alter your perception of reality. They weave stories, perform tricks, and whisper words until you find yourself giving them another apology. This type of behavior is called gaslighting and is practiced repeatedly by the narcissist until you reach a point where you constantly doubt yourself and your decisions.

You will often wonder if you are too sensitive and if you are really at fault? Your self-confidence will diminish and you will discover that you no longer trust your sanity. Your lack of self-confidence and constant frustration feeds narcissists' egos and enhances their strength and sense of self. They try to destroy your sense of self in order to feel superior and superior.

It's important to realize that a relationship is unhealthy if you have to treat your partner with anxiety and caution, as if you were walking on eggshells.

He feels he deserves everything 

Your narcissistic partner in your relationship feels that they "deserve" something they didn't gain. Instead of behaving like normal adults and getting their work done, narcissistic personalities feel like it's not appropriate for them, and insist that someone else take on the task, according to another sign reviewed by the American magazine Psychology Today.

We often see this in relationships in which one of the partners refuses to accept a job, even if they are in a precarious financial situation. Also, if you are in a relationship with someone who suffers from narcissism, they will often look like a child throwing tantrums to get attention.

Generally, narcissists may display strange and selfish behavior in an attempt to get what they want if they do not feel enough attention, money, support, love, etc.

Never ending attempt

The charm of narcissistic characters eventually wears off. Their manipulative behavior negatively affects your psyche and you will find yourself ready to end the relationship with them and leave for good.

But once you start moving away from them, they panic. Narcissists cannot handle abandonment because it is a sign that they are unwanted. When a situation comes that detracts from the narcissist's sense of completeness and superiority, they attack you harshly.

They will avenge themselves to satisfy their humiliated vanity and try to save face by scolding and stinging. They may decide to enter into a new relationship right after the breakup and promote their happy new relationship, intentionally doing everything they've been refusing to do with you. The ultimate goal is to make you regret that you let them go.

Eventually, they may reappear in your life and express a desire to re-establish relationships with you. They will sing songs of change and self-correction, but don't be convinced. If in doubt, go back to the starting point of the relationship and realize the truth, that's exactly what they did from the beginning.

You can never satisfy them because they don't feel good about themselves. Once you end your relationship with them, don't contact them again and don't offer them a second chance to hurt you psychologically and emotionally.

If you are or are still in a narcissistic abusive relationship, leave immediately and seek help. You should begin the process of recovering from the effects of that toxic relationship as soon as possible. It may be difficult, but it is necessary. Begin rebuilding yourself with awareness, understanding, and self-love (of the non-narcissistic kind).
