Narcissists believe that to feel better about themselves, they must undermine the self-esteem of people around them. Even though some of us are savvy and robust when it comes to narcissistic tactics, we may not succumb to the love bombing they’re throwing at us. However, they are still motivated to impact our lives and are waiting for the moment we let our guard down.
Love bombing may appear to be the narcissist’s preferred method for obtaining control over people, but they have many tools at their disposal. When they discover that flattery and charm are insufficient, for instance, they will play the victim to garner your pity and compassion. We must recognize that narcissists are indifferent to what others think of them; they simply require material to operate with. This indicates that they count on attention—any form of love, sympathy, or pity they can acquire—because your emotional investment in them shows that they are significant to you and have an impact on your life.
They will continue to work with that angle and add flattery and charm to help seal the deal. If they can make you feel sorry for them, they will. If love bombing fails to gain control and force us to submit to their will, they will often make a last-ditch effort to appeal to our compassion and make us feel sorry for them. In order to avoid doing their duties, they may falsely pretend to be ill. In some instances, kids will intentionally injure themselves to get your attention. These individuals will complain and ask for assistance, claiming they have nowhere else to turn.
When presented with a formidable adversary, narcissists tend to adopt a weak stance. To gain your trust, they penetrate your life by acting vulnerable and lowly. They want to destroy you gradually, penetrating every aspect of your life until you let down your guard. You may have helped them out of a ditch, but at the end of the day, they may hurl you back into the ditch and continue on their path without remorse.
