When You DO THIS, The Narcissist Will GHOST YOU

The Narcissist doesn't care about being liked or respected by you, which is how they're able to do the things they do. All they really want is to be adored. They want to be desired by you. However, for that to continue, they can never let you have them because you can't desire something you already possess. If you don't desire them in that way, they will settle for your fear of them instead. They will dominate and control you, treating you as their subordinate. They expect you to obey them unquestionably because it's all about their needs.

The Narcissist will ghost you. They will give you the silent treatment, and you won't know why they're not talking to you. You will try to find a solution and think of something to say in a way that they can hear it because you assume that you must have done something wrong. You want them to like you, so you're constantly walking on eggshells. You're extremely cautious about your words and actions because they're easily offended or upset, which leaves you very confused about balance. Nothing feels safe or secure, so you're experiencing a lot of anxiety.

You begin to lose confidence in yourself and your abilities, which is exactly what they want. They are ghosting you for a reason: because you refuse to be controlled. You resist pressure and temptation, so they ghost you to put you in a position where you worry about what they think. When someone stops talking to you, it's because they want to dominate and control you.

When they first met you, they treated you like you were special, like they had never met anyone like you. But as time went by, they stopped texting you and answering your phone calls. This left you very confused because you couldn't understand what you did wrong. If you confront them on it, they will gaslight you, calling you paranoid or negative. They are ghosting you to put you off balance and make you worry about what they think, which is not normal. It's very unhealthy behavior.

It's all a power struggle to see who will submit under pressure, who will win, and who will end the silence first. It's all a game to the Narcissist. In the beginning, they put you on a pedestal, then they pulled you up and pushed you off. They ghosted you because now they've got their eye on something else. They're looking for the next shiny new toy after they've left you in a state of confusion.

If you confront them on it, they will attack you, gaslight you, and devalue you. You will struggle to make sense of it, but they're doing it for a reason. They're ghosting you to keep you off balance so that you will try to come back to them and have a conversation. Then they have an opportunity to attack you because they believe love is for fools. They see love as a weakness, so when you try to love them or understand what they're doing, they see you as being weak. Now they can act free from restraint or control. They can dish it out on you, treat you however they choose, and punish you. It gives them supply because it puts them in the dominant position.

While you're going through it, you don't understand what's going on because you're looking for a logical and rational reason for their behavior. But it's not something you can fix because it's not even your problem to solve. You're not dealing with a rational person. You're dealing with someone who is not in accordance with reason or logic, someone who is only doing it to create emotional instability, to make you question yourself, to make you insecure, and to see how much you're willing to tolerate so that you lose control of yourself. Then they can mold you into whatever they want you to be, turn you into their puppet, and be the Puppet Master pulling the strings. They already know what they're doing; they're just hoping that you will question yourself rather than questioning their behavior. People with a strong sense of self will understand that if you are in an adult relationship and the other person is not texting you back or calling you, it's a sign of manipulation.
