Number 9: They will employ retaliatory no contact.
When you go no contact with a narcissist, it’s like telling them you want no communication or connection. Their enormous egos can’t handle feeling rejected, so they might pull a move called retaliatory no contact. It means they act like they’re the ones who decided to break things off, making it look like they’re in control. They might even tell others they initiated the breakup and the no contact arrangement, bending the truth to save face. In a nutshell, it’s a tactic to avoid feeling rejected and assert their dominance. But remember, it’s just a mind game. Stick to your decision to go no contact if it’s what’s best for your well-being and don’t let their tricks sway you.
Number 10: They will move on and replace you quickly with a new supply.
Narcissists often quickly replace you with a new source of attention and admiration when you go no contact. They might have been grooming this new supply while you were still together, leaving you feeling worthless and jealous. However, this can also be an opportunity to focus on your own healing and personal growth. You can invest in yourself while they’re busy with their new supply. It’s crucial to remember that the cycle of abuse tends to repeat, and the new partner will likely face the same fate as you did eventually. So resist the urge to compare yourself or contact a new partner. Concentrate on your recovery instead. You deserve it.
Going no contact with a narcissist triggers manipulative behaviors, from persistent contact attempts through various channels to spreading rumors and lies, pretending to change, playing with your sympathy, and even resorting to stalking or threats. It’s vital to remain resolute, maintain boundaries, and prioritize healing and self-improvement. Avoid succumbing to their mind games, threats, or efforts to save face. Remember, your well-being should always be your top priority. Despite their quick replacements, resist comparing yourself or intervening in their new relationships. Instead, focus on your personal growth and recovery as you deserve a life free from manipulation and toxicity.
