Number 9: The disingenuous apology.
Narcissists lack empathy. They lack conscience. They go through life with a bizarre and exaggerated sense of entitlement. As far as they’re concerned, they’re entitled to do what they do. So don’t kid yourself. They’re not the least bit sorry they hurt you. They’re sorry that they’re now suffering the natural consequences of their appalling attitude, choices, and behavior. So don’t fall for the fake apology.
Any changes you see short term will be just that, temporary and very short-lived. Once they have you back where they want you, they’ll be right back to their old tricks, but worse, because now they’re pissed that they’ve been exposed.

Number 10: Move on to another target.
If you stand your ground in the face of all of this manipulation and deception refusing to be swayed, if you remain unmoved in your position, eventually the narcissist will be left with no choice but to move on to another unsuspecting target. They’ll have to find someone who’s easier to manipulate and exploit as a source of narcissistic supply. And although admittedly this is not so good for the new target, it’s excellent news for you. You’ll be left in peace.
So stand your ground for as long as it takes. Although not easy, I promise you, it will be worth it. And with that, I’m going to call it a wrap, but don’t stop now, I have well over 100 more articles right here on my website for you to read to help you better understand the detrimental effects of narcissistic abuse and more importantly, learn what you need to do now to heal from the abuse so you can live your best life in peace, confidence, and freedom.
