It’s important to take care of yourself and your mental health. You can find more information on this topic from the link below.
Everything for the narcissist is transitional.
Narcissists see everyone and everything, with an expiration date.
The narcissist wants others to think they mean business when it comes to relationships, jobs, friendships… and the narcissist puts in maximum effort to come across as if there is an intention for long-term commitment, reliability, honesty.
However, the fact of the matter is, the narcissist always plans to jump ship sooner than their partner, friend, employer (as applicable) expect.
Being secretive and private, allows the narcissist to remain 3 steps ahead of others, and catch them out by surprise when the narcissist does decide its time to make their move.
Being secretive and private, allows the narcissist to plan the next “big adventure”, without anyone suspecting a thing. It allows the narcissist to line up all the cooperative component, for what comes next.
The narcissist always plans to rupture the relationship, in such a manner as to knock the other party off their feet.
Catch them out unexpected. Causing massive confusion, along with distress and sorrow.
When the narcissist leaves, they want to ensure they live a big gaping hole.
A hole that takes time to heal.
Now this, makes the narcissist feel powerful.
Powerful, validated and in control.
