Narcissists want to be free to come and go without anyone questioning their behavior. They wish to abuse and control you while enjoying themselves. If you establish strong, healthy boundaries and are unafraid to say no or call them out, the narcissist will likely lose interest, even though you may be a good source of supply. They will stop pursuing you once they realize you won’t compromise on boundaries. Hold firm to your boundaries, and the narcissist will lose their grip on you.
Finally, once you stop viewing the narcissist through rose-tinted glasses, they will know their game is over.
