number six
Number six is the point where the male covert narcissist's emotional detachment becomes crystal clear. You feel as if you've been reduced to an object if you have sex with them. Suddenly, they become distant and cold towards you, as if they hate you. They start to lay down rules and boundaries that you must follow, but they don't apply to them. When you ask why things are changing, they accuse you of being needy, clingy, and insecure, and label you as manipulative.
If you push for answers, they detach themselves from you even more, emotionally stonewalling you. They refuse to interact with you, accusing you of being unreasonable and causing them to turn off. You feel at fault, even though it's not your fault at all. They never loved you, they just idealized you as part of their narcissistic personality disorder.
From this point on, they will repeat this pattern in all their relationships. If you do stay with them, they may throw you a bone here and there when their sideline narc supply is low, but overall, you will simply be a commodity to them. You will feel like you are being followed by a big black cloud, as their cynicism, anger, and judgment make you feel like an outlet for their negativity.
number seven
Number Seven is where the male covert narcissist becomes extremely sensitive to any form of criticism. Every little thing you say or do that they perceive as negative will provoke them, and they will see themselves as the one being wronged. It's as if they're always on the defensive, ready to lash out at any moment. They can't take any kind of feedback or constructive criticism, and they will take it as a personal attack. It's almost like they have a fragile ego that can't handle anything that isn't pure adoration and praise. This hypersensitivity to criticism can be exhausting to deal with because it means you always have to walk on eggshells around them, and you can never be honest with them without fearing their wrath. It's another tool in their arsenal to control and manipulate you, by making you feel guilty and responsible for their reactions to anything that doesn't meet their expectations.
number eight
When you first met him, he was charming, kind, and seemed like the perfect partner. But as time went on, you started to notice a dark side to him. He would constantly try to control you and everything around you, even the most minor details. He was extremely jealous and insecure, and would accuse you of flirting with others or cheating on him, even when there was no evidence to support his claims.
Whenever you tried to confront him about his behavior or express your concerns, he would twist the situation around and make it seem like you were the one at fault. He never took responsibility for his actions and refused to apologize for anything, even when it was clear that he was in the wrong.
He had an uncanny ability to make you doubt yourself and question your reality. He would use gaslighting tactics to twist the things you said or did and deny things that he had said or done. He would make you feel like you were victimizing him, and as time went on, you found yourself apologizing for things that you had not done. You were constantly second-guessing yourself, defending against unfounded accusations, and trying to prove your loyalty and trustworthiness.
Whenever he felt criticized or questioned, he would become extremely defensive and punish you with the silent treatment, insults, moodiness, gaslighting, and emotional stonewalling. He was always right, and any attempt to challenge him would be met with hostility and anger.
You realized that he was very controlling and wanted things to be his way or the highway. He blamed you for everything and refused to be held accountable for his actions. He would do whatever he wanted, while expecting you to comply with his rules and boundaries. It was clear that he had no intention of changing his ways, and that you were just a commodity and an outlet for his negative emotions.
number nine
Dealing with a partner who has a concurrent disorder, such as anxiety, depression, OCD, or addiction, can add even more confusion to the situation. The symptoms of the disorder can make it difficult to distinguish between the disorder and the toxic behavior of the narcissistic partner. It can also create a sense of guilt or responsibility for the partner with the disorder, leading them to excuse or rationalize the narcissistic behavior. This can make it harder to recognize the toxicity of the relationship and to seek help. The presence of a concurrent disorder can complicate the situation and make it even more important to seek support and resources to navigate the relationship.
number 10
The most crucial red flag in a toxic relationship is when you start feeling like a completely different person. You were once relatively stable, but now you're a nervous wreck. You can barely recognize yourself, and everything seems to be shrouded in a fog of confusion. You start doubting what's real and what's not, and you're constantly questioning your own judgment.
In this relationship, your partner has convinced you that you're the problem. They tell you that you have issues, and that you're the one hurting and manipulating them. They make you feel incredibly lonely, isolated, and hated, despite claiming to love you.
You're left feeling confused, lost, and alone. You don't know who to turn to or who to trust. The world feels like it's closing in on you, and you're struggling to find a way out. This is a clear sign that you need to get out of the relationship before it completely destroys you.
Imagine you've been in a relationship with someone for a while. At first, they seemed like the perfect partner, kind and considerate, but as time passed, you started noticing some red flags. They were controlling, jealous, and always right. They would blame you for everything and never apologize or take responsibility for their actions.
As time goes on, you begin to feel like you're losing your mind. You're confused, isolated, and feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells around them. You barely recognize yourself anymore, and they've convinced you that you're the one with issues, that you're the one hurting and manipulating them.
If you find yourself in this situation, the best advice is to leave if you can. Dealing with a pathological narcissist can drive you to insanity because the person you fell in love with was just an act. It's hard to accept, but the true version of them is not the kind and considerate partner you thought they were.
