Is it hard to break a narcissist heart?

From the land of haribos.

I read an interesting article about it and did you know that breaking a narcissist heart is different than breaking a normal persons heart? Apparently there is a thing you have to do first in order to do it and that is you must first accept yourself, because the narcissist wants to devalue you.

They mentioned different things in the article of how a narcissist doesnt care about love and closeness, but rather the main thing that they care about is power and control, so, a threat to his power or control will break his heart.

What is your view of it and do you also agree that all they care is about power and control?

Have you been in a relationship with one and have you noticed the things that they dont care about like the things mentioned?

I worked with one for years. The weirdest defining characteristic was that a narcissist doesn’t understand that other people are actually other people, they see them as extensions of themselves and as such boundaries cannot be enforced because they do not exist to the narcissist.

The only way to deal with them is to keep away from them.

I'm not sure there are really all that many actual narcissists

Just lots of people that just aren't great at navigating relationships

So when that relationship ends, yeah I think they hurt

My estranged mother is one, along with a couple of former friends years ago. I would never entertain such people again and any warning signs with potential romantic dates I would be out the door. That is the best way to deal with them

Lived with one for years .. they didn't understand anyone else's needs but their own.

Don't think you could break his heart, he would just turn it round to your failing.

Leaving is the only way to deal with them, leave and get all the outside protection to keep them away because they think you belong and have no right to leave

According to the social media posts of my narcissistic ex I broke his heart when I threw him out unexpectedly...

If course they failed to mention

- They had been financially bleeding me dry

- Were having an affair

- Hadn't given me any sort of physical affection for 7 years

So I didn't actually break their heart, I just ruined their public image of being the perfect husband and cut off their supply.

They very quickly moved on with the woman they were having an affair with and I am very happily still single 4.5 years later.

Yes and all true I had 4 years of hell but I couldn't understand why she was acting like that

But after picking myself up I cut ties and I think it kicked in with her that I wasn't around for her to do that anymore yes I truly loved her but the damage was done as she had pushed me over the edge to nearly ending my life attempt was made

I'm going to leave it there as I don't like thinking about it

I had one in my team working for me.... utter nightmare ... caused so much trouble..... one day threatened to leave .... I said that's a shame, your choice of course is there anything they would like me to do to help them move to a new role? They left e months later

I didn't think it was possible for me to be even MORE irritated by the misuse of the word narcissist than I already am , but here we go ......

Each time we get a thread with 175 people who have dated a narcissist I shake my head in disbelief and sadness.

Narcissists are human. They might not think like you or feel what you feel but they are human.

They also come in a HUGE variety of packages.......

They are not equally as mean , they are not monsters out to get you , they are not murderers or psychopaths or any other label you want to stick on them and they hurt very much - true they may not be able to understand your hurt but they do hurt.

In truth like it or not they are simply living their reality and whilst I'd find it difficult to imagine a narcissist could fulfill my needs in a relationship I can recognise their humanity and treat them accordingly. We've all worked with them........

The people I see being described are usually NOT narcissistic but just badly behaved , ill brought up, uncaring , sociopathic cunts ..... and you chose them.

No one CHOOSES to be a narcissist.

Likewise xxx sorry to hear that you were a victim also and others on this thread

It can be difficult to figure out when the person doing it is also an alcoholic. Is it the drink speaking or something more

One thing I can say yes she regrets everything and clearly knows what she lost as I'm a rare find which I'm sure most of you all are

If you want to get into games with a narcissist, you've got more issues than being with a narcissist

I'd not care about whether his heart gets broken or not. Any sign of one and I'm in survival mode and getting away from them.

Its not impossible for a narcissist to feel, just most of what they do is fed by others. The only way to truly affect them is to take away your communication, presence and remove yourself from their life in silence. The loss of power and control is the only thing that hurts them and their ego.

Yes, you are right there, the best way is not to have anything to do with them
