Tactic number 4: Isolation.
Ever felt like you’re all alone in the world, with no one to turn to? Well, that could be because of a narcissist. These people are masters at cutting people off from their support networks friends, family, you name it. They’ll do whatever it takes to keep you all to themselves. And guess what? It’s not because they love you so much. Nope, it’s all about control. Narcissists want you to depend on them for everything: validation, companionship, you name it.
They’ll chip away at your connections until you feel like you have no one else but them. And that’s precisely what they want. Listen to me closely, the more isolated you are, the easier it is for them to control you. It’s like they’re building a little fortress around you, with them at the center, calling all the shots. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to play by their rules.
You deserve to have a life outside of their grasp, filled with people who genuinely care about you. So, if you feel like you’re being cut off from the world, take a step back and ask yourself: Why? Are they looking out for you, or are they just trying to control you? Trust your instincts and don’t let anyone isolate you from the people who truly matter. You’re stronger than you think, and you deserve to be surrounded by love and support.
Tactic number 5: Triangulation.
Ever felt like there’s someone else in your relationship, someone you didn’t invite? Well, that could be because of a narcissist. These sneaky people like to bring in a third wheel to mess with your head. It could be an ex, a friend, or even a family member. And guess what? They’re not there to make things better. Nope, they’re there to stir up drama and make you feel insecure. It’s like they’re trying to create a love triangle, with you stuck in the middle.
And let me tell you, it’s not a fun place to be. You end up feeling jealous, insecure, and downright miserable. But here’s the kicker: it’s all part of the narcissist’s plan. They want to keep you off-balance, to make sure you’re always looking over your shoulder. And the more insecure you feel, the more control they have over you. It’s like they’re playing puppet master, pulling the strings, and watching you dance. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to play their game.
You deserve a relationship free from drama and manipulation. So, if you feel like there’s someone else in the picture, take a step back and ask yourself: Why? Are they there for your benefit, or are they just there to mess with your head? Trust your instincts and don’t let anyone else dictate your relationships. You deserve better than being stuck in a love triangle orchestrated by a narcissist.
