Number 4: To erase you forever.
People often wonder, “How long will a narcissist block me?”—but there’s rarely a clear answer. If you’ve seen their darker side, it might have been enough for them to cut ties. Narcissists view people in black-and-white terms: either all good or all bad.
In the early stages of a relationship, narcissists often seem fun and caring. This is because they are initially impressed by you. Over time, however, they devalue you to exert control, distorting their perception of the relationship.
Once they see you as “all bad,” they may block you permanently, believing it’s the best way to move forward. They may also block you if they realize you’ve seen past their façade, as this undermines their control.
Number 3: To make you look like the bad guy.
Narcissists prioritize public perception and may block you to control the narrative, painting you as the unreasonable one. This tactic is especially common during breakups.
It’s important to take the high road in these situations. Engaging in debates with a narcissist often backfires, as they don’t process emotions the way most people do. While they may move on to someone else, ensure their narrative about you doesn’t align with any truths.
