Long-Term Benefits vs. Short-Term Pain
The very thing that will set you free—understanding narcissism—can make your life miserable for a while. In the long run, it’s a win, but in the short term, be prepared for it to be unpleasant.
The Power Shift
When you finally understand narcissism, you might feel like you’ve unlocked the secrets. But as your behavior changes, the narcissistic person in your life will notice, whether they’re a family member, partner, or coworker. They’ll realize you’re no longer confused or manipulated, and they’ll lose the power they once had over you. This loss of control frustrates them, and you’ll experience this as rage.
In the long run, understanding narcissism is healthier for you because it stops you from blaming yourself. It’s not your fault. Once you unlock the code and see through their manipulative tactics, the relationship can feel unsatisfying, but at least you’re no longer living in constant confusion and invalidation.
I hope this helps. Thanks again.
