Narcissists keep a side supply

The warning signs that a narcissist is being unfaithful can be quite blatant, others are less obvious but ALL are very painful.

They may go dark for a few days, they may be spending a lot of time away, which could signal the narcissist has another source of supply that they're romancing behind your back.
Or, maybe you have found clear evidence of another lover, and have felt that crushing blow to your self-esteem, a blow so hard and devastating that you thought you might never get up off the ground again.

And if you have tried to end things, you may have been utterly shocked at the narcissist’s sudden, new relationship. While you barely begin to process your breakup, the narcissist moves on without skipping a beat, declaring the new person the love of their LIFE.

How Narcissists Use Confusion to Convince Other People

Victims of narcissistic abuse are subjected to mental conditioning that can make them feel like they’re losing their grip on reality.

A Narcissist is basically living in their terrible two's

Narcissists can resemble toddlers, in that they tend to be extremely sore losers. They struggle to accept losing, and they also tend to lash out when it happens. A few scenarios may occur: They repeatedly proclaim the person in charge (boss/referee) was incompetent They attempt to defame or humiliate the winner They pretend they didn’t care about winning They insist that they “let the other person” take the spotlight They refuse to accept that they lost and awkwardly act as if they’re the actual winner (you may have experienced this by hearing, after you’ve left them, that they’ve told everyone  they’re the one who left you! )

Narcissists and mental gymnastics

Being a narcissist is harder than it may seem. Most people understand that no one is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes, and this knowledge can be comforting whenever we make an error. However, a narcissist can’t accept that they’ve made a mistake or that something is their fault since that would be admitting that they aren’t perfect. To avoid this, narcissists will go through spectacular mental gymnastics to blame someone else for any situation.
