Here’s the real question you should be asking: Even if the narcissist is finished with you, are you finished with them? It’s important to reflect on your answer to this question. Many times, people find themselves immersed in narcissistic abuse. They hold on to hope that things will change. They convince themselves that they just need to be more patient and tolerant. What will it take for you to draw the conclusion that enough is enough? How many more months or years will you waste by continuing this awful game?
Narcissism is a persistent and clinical mental illness. Most narcissists have little to absolutely no interest in changing their tactics. And if they do, you can bet they’re up to something, and it’s not anything that’s in your favor.
How to Get Help
If you believe you’re experiencing narcissistic abuse, you don’t have to tolerate it. Consider whether or not the relationship is doing you more harm than good. Don’t blame yourself—a person’s choice to be abusive isn’t because of anything you’re doing or not doing. You’re not the cause of their behavior, no matter what they say. Taking care of yourself is the biggest priority, which may include breaking off.
