It’s a confounding truth that even when narcissists seemingly move on swiftly to new supplies or appear deeply affected by your departure, their actions stem from profound pain. Now, let me clarify: this isn’t an attempt to manipulate or guilt-trip you into revisiting that toxic dynamic. Absolutely not. This isn’t your sign to return.
