10 Deep Quotes About Narcissists to Help You Navigate Toxic Relationships
Relationships are meant to be a safe place
and a comfort zone in a world filled with difficulties and struggles.
But when it comes to toxic relationships,
especially with a narcissist, it is just pure hell.
They can be very charming and sweet in the beginning,
but with time, you will find yourself questioning
your own sanity, reality, and thoughts.
They are very manipulative and filled with insecurities and shame.
They will withdraw and play vicious games on your emotions.
I hope you get out safely from these types of relationships.
The quotes I collected will help you navigate
these relationships with the awareness
that none of the negativity has something to do with you.
Here are the 10 Deep Quotes About Narcissists to Help You Navigate Toxic Relationships:
1. Withhold admiration from a narcissist and be disliked. Give it and be treated with indifference.
Narcissists crave admiration
and validation like a baby needing his/her mother.
The solution is to let them think what they want to think about you.
Never give in to their manipulative tactics.
2. Narcissism is voluntary blindness, an agreement not to look beneath the surface.
They will ignore anything that contradicts
their self-image or their view of the world
and only opt for the one that serves
their superficial and fake idealized self-image.
3. Narcissists are emotional porcupines; watch out for the quills!
Set a boundary and make it clear
when you know that you are dealing with
a narcissist because they can cause too much emotional pain
and suffering without remorse.
4. Love doesn’t die a natural death. Love has to be killed, either by neglect or narcissism.
It doesn’t matter if it is true love;
if it receives constant harm, it will die.
Narcissists lack the ability to love themselves and empathy.
5. Children of narcissists learn that love is abuse. The narcissist teaches them that if someone displeases you, it is okay to harm them and call it love.
Growing up with narcissistic parents distorts a child’s understanding
of love, equating it with manipulation and abuse.
They learn unhealthy relationship patterns,
believing that inflicting harm is an acceptable way
to express love and assert control.
6. Some people think that the world revolves around them, but the Sun is not the center of the universe.
Narcissists are too self-centered
and absorbed in their own illusions
and self-importance,
not knowing that they are just like everyone else.
7. Narcissists don’t care what you think unless it is about them.
They care about themselves only
and will love the sound of your voice only
when it is saying good things about them,
even if it is fake.
8. Relationships with narcissists are held in place by the hope of a ‘someday better,’ with little evidence to support it will ever arrive.
Understand this and learn to let go and move on with your life.
The sooner you leave that relationship,
the better your future will be.
The worst scenario is when you waited so long
and got damaged so deeply that you can never heal again.
9. An abuser’s psychological diagnosis isn’t the problem. Their sense of entitlement is.
The core issue with abusers, including narcissists,
is their overwhelming sense of entitlement.
This belief that they deserve special treatment
and can violate others’ boundaries to justify their harmful behavior,
regardless of any psychological diagnosis.
10. It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.
Yes.
