What Happens When You Chase a Narcissist?

Once you let your guard down, the narcissist strikes

They'll start pulling away from the relationship to test your reaction. They'll start twisting the truth and blaming you for their problems. They'll invalidate your emotions over and over again until you doubt your own thoughts.

What happens when you stop chasing narcissist?

If you ignore a narcissist and deny them their source, they may become enraged and try even harder for your attention – especially in ways that can be toxic or abusive. Ignoring a narcissist will enrage them because of their fragile egos. They'll feel humiliated and lash out against you to protect themselves.

What happens to a narcissist when you figure out who they are?

When a narcissist is exposed or when the narcissist knows you have figured him out, they will never admit the truth even if it is staring them in the face. A narcissist will lay several false accusations and try to make him right. They will say things you didn't utter and misinterpret all your intentions.
