Ok so I dated a narcissist, she loved bombed me at first (what narcissists do) I was in a vulnerable state with my mental health & she took advantage of this.
Well I learned she was a pathological liar, everything that came out of her mouth was lies, she cheated on me numerous times, she would never admit to it but I knew, she showered me with love & I foolishly stayed with her, I was very depressed, she broke me down to the point where I heavily relied on her, then she was seeing someone else & basically manipulated me to break up by keep starting arguements & blaming me, I had no choice she forced it. We agreed to be friends, but now seeing her far less & healing I can clearly see what she is, I researched everything, I’ve pin pointed that she is a vulnerable narcissist, she has EVERY SINGLE TRAIT! To name a few - she hated me seeing my friends or having any fun, she’s super competitive with everyone, she doesn’t like you having any confidence, she breaks down your self esteem, very manipulative, has loads of sob stories to get people to give her attention (all ********), she talks bad about everyone, is envious of everyone, she gets jealous of everything that you enjoy that isn’t her (even gaming), she will pretend to be ill loads to get attention, she is very vindictive, there’s loads more tbh.
Anyways my situation is she knows a lot of personal stuff about me that I shared, we are friends but I want her out of my life really, issue is narcissists can turn on you bad if you insult them or just cut them off, they will try to destroy you, I feel she would do this, what I’m thinking is as I only see her every few weeks is to just do things like not give her validation she always craves, not react when she tries to get emotional reaction, not join in her games, not act bothered, never contact her first and maybe she’ll eventually tire of me & move on and get her attention elsewhere..?
What do you guys think? I’m very distressed with all this, she has really broken me down but I’m now fully seeing what she is and want to slowly move her out my life with no dramas, any advice would be much appreciated, please help!
