Narcissist Hoover: Being in a relationship with a narcissist is frustrating and energy consuming. It’s because they wired you in such a way that you’ll do everything in the relationship. It will make you exhausted and to them that feeling make them strong. They feel that way because it shows them how much they possess control over you and they just like it more than just being in a relationship with you.
Why No Contact Is The Only Choice
We all knew that every human has a limit and many people would seriously don’t ever try to test them beyond that level. But, as for narcissists they like to go over, under and beyond those limits. Sometimes it works and will let the other person go crazy for him /her while sometimes it just backfires onto them. When the victim reaches their limit, he will not be willing to participate in again and that frustrates the narcissist because he/she will not be able to get entertainment unless the victim is willing to participate again in their games. When that happens, the victim will eventually make a pact not to return again.
In psychological terms, this is called “No Contact”. Maintaining no contact without having knowledge regarding the narcissistic relationship and their thought process is almost useless. Eventually, many people will break the no contact thinking that their absence would change the narcissist’s behavior. You know what is the worst part of being in relationships like these, it’s actually a one-man show and narcissist actually knows that their victim will surely return one day and hence, they don’t take your absence seriously.
Why Maintaining No Contact Is Really Hard?
If you observe the push and pull cycle closely, you can clearly see that the narcissist will always present in a guard mode no matter what happens. Victims will play all kinds of tricks in their sleeve right form ignoring the narcissist, staying away from him/her for some time, acting like being cool without them and many other things. They do these things just to win them back again and narcissists knew this and that’s the reason why they just remain calm and cool enjoy your pain standing from a distance.
Meanwhile, the victim will think that those tactics would work. They might work with normal people, but with narcissists, you won’t stand a chance. It’s because you’ll be treated as their slave when they get attention from you and when you are trying to trick them, they I’ll consider you like a challenge. They will do their best to overcome it no matter what. The victim sees it as one of a kind hard relationship, but narcissist sees it as a pursuit and victim as a trophy. You are just a mere object to them.
That’s the reason why, narcissist never reacts to those tricks played by the victim. He/she knew that you are just lying and deep down you still have feelings for him/her. Logically speaking, if you don’t like him/her, then you should’ve probably gone far away from them due to the pain and agony they caused to you lately. But you stayed. This makes them even strong, this is a simple thing that people ignore when being in a relationship with a narcissist. As I stated earlier, everybody has a limit, and narcissist likes to test it to their peaks
