4. They will see your sickness as an attack.
They will see it as aggressive and offensive, and they will act like you’re faking it, as if you’re not really sick, even though they know you are. Some of them may be so confused or self-absorbed that they think you’re pretending on purpose to bother them. This can make you feel like you have to prove that you’re genuinely sick, as if you can’t be trusted. But this is just another sign that something is seriously wrong with them. Why would someone assume you’re pretending to be sick? They might do it to make you doubt yourself and believe that something is wrong with you, so you don’t notice that something is wrong with them for not being there for you. It’s a common tactic used by narcissists because they want to seem normal.

They don’t want to feel like something is wrong with them, so they will try to avoid feeling ashamed by putting the blame on you. They disown the parts of themselves they don’t like and say it’s your fault instead. It may seem like they’re avoiding you, but they’re actually running away from facing their own flaws because they know deep down that something is seriously wrong with them for not supporting you when you’re sick. They are aware that they’re not normal, but they don’t want to admit it. So they either run away from it or try to make you the one to blame.
5. They will return when you feel better.
When they’re carrying that type of energy, you may be glad that they’re gone. But just as soon as you experience that sight of relief following their departure, that’s typically when they will be back. Because that is the moment when you will feel better, and narcissists only want to be around if they don’t have to deal with your problems and if they can just use you to cater to them because they don’t want to do anything for anyone. They just want you to focus on them.
