Most of us have been there at one point or another.
A relationship that seemed perfect at the startbegins unraveling.
If you’re lucky, the breakup is easy.
A few tears might be shed, but you resolve things like adults and go your separate ways.
But what happens if your soon-to-be ex isa narcissist?
“But once they reel you back then they revert to their egotistical selves.”
Dr. Orloff urges those breaking up with narcissists to remember that narcissists don’t feel empathy.
If they attempt to charm you or guilt trip you, don’t fall for it.
Narcissists will often attempt to manipulate you into staying in the relationship.
You also need to set clear limits.
When you say no, mean it.
Remember that a narcissist doesn’ttrulylove you narcissists only love themselves.
After you’re officially out of the relationship, focus on the future.
Most importantly,practice some self care.
Breakups aren’t easy, even if your ex is a narcissist.
“Treasure yourself,” said Dr. Orloff.
