When faced with silence, narcissists may:
- Spread rumors and lies about you to regain a sense of control.
- Accuse you of being self-centered, controlling, or delusional.
- Harass, threaten, or bombard you with calls and messages.
- Alternate between anger, desperation, and love-bombing in attempts to lure you back.
These behaviors stem from their fear of abandonment and wounded pride, not genuine concern for you. Their attempts to regain control may escalate, but it’s crucial to hold firm and maintain your boundaries.
Final Thoughts
Breaking free from a narcissist’s control is difficult, but it is essential for your mental and emotional health. Silence is a powerful weapon in reclaiming your life. Though the narcissist may attempt to defame or manipulate you, their efforts will lose power over time as others grow tired of their repetitive behavior.
