Number 7: Narcissists will control your behavior.
The silent treatment is a way for narcissists to control you; they will use it to make you dependent on their approval. A narcissist will silence you when he or she has done something wrong and doesn’t want to admit it or own up to their mistake.
This can be anything from cheating on you with another person or making an irresponsible decision that affects both of your lives. Narcissists control their victims by making them believe they cannot do what they tell them to do.
They will use your fear of the silent treatment to manipulate you into behaving the way they want. If you want to avoid the silence and get them back into communication with you, you must do what they want even if it goes against their ethics or values.
Number 8: They will play mind games with you.
Narcissists will use emotional manipulation tactics like making up stories or lying about things that happen to get what they want. They will play mind games with you, which is a way of controlling your emotions during a silent treatment. They will create drama and then withdraw from you so that they can see how you react.
Narcissists like to see how long it takes for you to back down or give up, or even just go crazy. They’ll do this by ignoring you, taking a trip without telling you or disappearing in coming back as if nothing happened. This is about them getting their way, and it’s not something you should ever put up with in any relationship.
