The Completely Unexpected Way a Narcissist Shows You They Want You Back

When you’re no longer confused, you’re no longer destabilized

You’re kind of hanging out in limbo — waiting.

You’ve been discarded.

You know your ex is a narcissist. You’ve spent hours online — reading and watching videos.

You know the relationship was sucking the life right out of you.

And yet you also feel like they were the most exciting partner you’ve ever had. In the beginning, the relationship felt too good to be true. You felt like the luckiest person in the world.

Even more than that, you felt alive and exhilarated — like when driving too fast as a teenager.

Now you’re afraid to move on — wondering when they’ll come back, wondering if you’ll say “yes” when they do, wondering if you’ll finally have that romance novel relationship.

The harsh reality is the narcissist will never want “you” back. They never wanted “you” in the first place.

To the narcissist, you do not exist as a person — someone with hopes, dreams, desires, and needs. You are seen as an object, a provider of resources, a source of narcissistic supply.

The narcissist wants you back when you have something they want.

Maybe it’s

Maybe it’s purely a desire for narcissistic supply.
