You should never trust a narcissist. Whether it's a relationship partner, family member, or friend, you cannot trust them because you're not on the same team. You don't share the same goals, which is why you may notice that they're not as enthusiastic as you are—they don't have your best interest in mind.

Narcissists are very envious and jealous of you, which takes control of them. It changes the way they operate and prevents them from conforming to accepted standards of morality and respectability. It prevents them from being honest or polite.
They lack strong moral principles. When they look at you and everything you've achieved, they instantly realize and accept that they're not going to achieve anything by being fair or honest. So, they feel compelled to lie, steal, and deceive. They feel compelled to adhere to strong, immoral, and unethical principles because they see that you're doing better than them. You're accomplishing more than them, and it's too difficult for them to accept.

Even when you come to them with guidance or recommendations, or when you're trying to show them your accomplishments, they don't see it as something positive. Instead, it just makes them hate and envy you. They decide to take it away from you because they realize that it's the only way they're ever going to get it. They accept that they're not going to achieve anything worthwhile on their own, so they realize they have to do it through you.

By gradually lessening your effectiveness, power, and ability, they cause unrest and instability. They will direct you in the wrong direction by giving you misleading information. They look at it like if they give you the correct information, it will help you perform exceptionally well, which works against their feelings of unworthiness and being overlooked.

So instead, they deliberately mislead you because they are not on your side. They are your enemy. They lack empathy and compassion, so they're not concerned about how you should be treated. They're not concerned about anything to do with you. It's a means to an end—a way to get what they want from you.

If you're looking for compassion and comfort from a narcissist, it's never going to work out. You're just going to end up being deceived, misled, and mistreated. They will pretend like they care because that serves their agenda. It makes you believe in them even more, even when you may not have believed in them if they didn't pretend to care.

They will try to convince you that they are kind-hearted people who only have your best interest in mind, but secretly, they don't care about you at all. This can be a very difficult thing to accept because you can't imagine how someone can have such a different way of thinking. How someone can have no limits when it comes to deceiving, misleading, and mistreating people. But this is just the reality of it—they don't care.

They would only help you if they could exert their influence on you because that's all they really care about. They just want to be able to affect you. It's not because they possess kind, generous, or compassionate qualities. You should be able to see it by recognizing that they are so negative and pessimistic. They don't have anything to give, so all they can do is destroy you and hold you back.

Stop sharing information with them. Stop trying to please these unpleasable people because they're never going to be able to receive anything good about you. They have a void that can never be filled, which means they will never be able to reciprocate anything of value back to you because they don't have it to give.

All they can do is simulate these feelings and emotions based on what they've seen from you. So, you're just going to be chasing after a reflection of yourself that they constantly keep away from you. They already know that once you obtain it and it's yours, you're going to realize that you never needed it anyway because you're not going to get anything meaningful out of them.

You should already be able to recognize this from their negative behavior. It should reveal to you that they really don't have anything of value to give to you because they don't want you to succeed. They're envious because they can't generate their own happiness from within. They can only generate it from external things, and even then, it doesn't last for long.

Whenever they see you achieving something, they will always speak in a condescending or oversimplified fashion to disparage and belittle you, to make you feel like something is wrong. They don't want you to have something that they can't have. They may pretend to support and encourage you initially, but that's only in the beginning because they don't think that you're actually going to go out and achieve it.

The moment they see that you are going to do it, they will try to distract you. They will try to pull you back in so that you focus on something else. But if it's already gone too far, they will just see it as something they can use you for because they never believed in you. They never believed that you could actually do it. But when they see that you're about to do it, now they're on your side again. But it isn't real—they're not really about it. It's only so that they can gain something at your expense, even though they were never there to help you succeed. In fact, a lot of times, they were discouraging you from your success.

This is why you can never trust a narcissist. Even though at times it may seem like they're supporting and encouraging you, it's not genuine. When you do finally achieve something, they will be expecting something from you in return because they were never real to begin with. All they can do is take—they can't contribute anything to you. They're only concerned with what they can benefit from being around you or in contact with you. If they're not getting anything out of it, they won't even support you. You won't even hear from them because they have their own standards and ideas of what they deem to be enough.

But there's really no such thing as enough in their minds because they have this void that can never be filled. Even if you did a lot for them, they wouldn't even be able to recognize it. It wouldn't even do anything for them. They may even come out and tell you that you did nothing for them because that's literally how they feel, which will leave you very confused. But it's because they can't be satisfied, which is why you cannot trust them and shouldn't even deal with them. They're not going to be any good for you long-term. They're always going to get negative, which means that you're not going to get the love and attention that you deserve.
