Dealing with a narcissist will make you question your reality. They’ll lie, deflect, twist, guilt-trip, and flip the blame so well that you end up apologizing for being hurt. Truth is, you can’t win an argument with someone who isn’t interested in truth — only control. You won’t get closure from someone who benefits from your confusion. And you sure as hell won’t find peace by trying to fix them. So don’t waste your energy trying to explain yourself better. Don’t fall into the trap of proving your pain. Don’t wait for an apology that’s never coming. The best way to deal with a narcissist? Boundaries. Silence. Distance. Clarity. The moment you stop engaging is the moment you take your power back.
Don’t get into a relationship with anyone until you can honestly answer these two questions… Am I actually healed… or just hoping someone else will stop the bleeding? Do I really want this person… or do I just want someone to save me from loneliness?
I’m not here to impress you. I’m here to observe you. I’m not trying to win you over. I’m seeing if who you are actually complements who I am. I’m not dating to be chosen. I’m dating to see if I want to choose you.
Maybe you can relate to this, or maybe you know someone who this relates to… either way, it’s the reason why most people who don’t want to be single, are single today.
