Whereas you talk to people to connect, teach, entertain, inform, encourage, etc. The narcissist is only talking at you for four reasons. Every one of the reasons is self-serving and has nothing to do with your well-being.

One day, you will get tired of making up excuses for poor behavior for a person who doesn't even bother trying anymore. Date a person; not an excuse-maker!

How much longer will you let that man play in your face? Nothing he is doing nowadays shows that he loves you. Be free!

Your relationship with the narcissist was not serendipitous. You were spotted out for destruction!

There is a reason it's taking you longer to recover emotionally from the narcissistic relationship compared to your other ex! Escape from a trap requires more!

Early and often, practice using the word no with your narcissist to state and enforce your boundaries. This will show you if they're truly a bad character!

Figure out the lesser-known reason nothing is going to get better if you return to the narcissist!

How is that every time you get enough courage to confront the narcissist, you end up feeling like the bad guy?
