Tactics and Red Flags

Ignored by a narcissist? Being in a relationship with a narcissist can be infuriating. It is NOT like most relationships. It can take years or even decades to uncover and see through the masks they so cleverly wear. Their disguise is perfected, polished, and preserved – even from those they closely associate with.

Most people are drawn in by their wittiness, smile, and candor, and may be quickly enticed by their flattery and knowledge. On the outside and especially around others, they will appear to be charming, attentive, and treat you kindly, but when in a one-on-one encounter they are absent, disconnected, deliberately unaware of your needs, and lack empathy to feel your pain or viewpoint from your side.
