You don’t want to play games because if you do that, almost trying to give them payback or a taste of their own medicine, sometimes you end up getting the narcissist more invested in you. You don’t want that because when the time comes and you want to fully detach from them, if they’re fully invested in you emotionally, they won’t let you go so easily. That’s why you should just go away and not give them much food for thought, letting them eventually move on. You don’t want to stick in that kind of dynamic too long because it’s not healthy. As soon as you realize you’re dealing with a toxic person, you should plan your escape. Just acknowledge their mindset and how they always have to be winning. When something happens and things don’t turn out to be as predictable as they once thought, they really become super focused on that person or thing. It’s not healthy for them, but it’s just the way their mind works. If they can’t work something out and thought they had it figured out, but then realize they don’t understand it, it gets them in a mental loop.
No matter how much they might chase you later, you’re out. When they ignore you, they want you to chase them. But when you ignore them back, they start chasing you. So, no matter how much they might chase you later, you’re out.
