How do you recognize a narcissistic relationship?
Do you think you are dealing with a narcissistic relationship? In this blog we list 11 characteristics of a narcissistic partner in a relationship.
How do you recognize a narcissistic relationship?
There are (too) many narcissistic relationships, and you can often find recognition in someone who is in the same situation. Narcissistic relationships also teach you something about yourself, but often there is no room in the relationship to develop yourself. Or rather to be allowed to develop. A narcissistic partner talks a lot about themselves, and regularly puts his or her partner down. They are good at lying and mainly revolve around their own promises. If lying seems effective to a narcissist, they will continue to do it and use it. They lie to themselves as much as they lie to their partner. A narcissistic relationship is sad, confrontational and difficult.
What are the characteristics of a narcissistic relationship?
- You can't do anything right in his/her eyes
- There is a discussion or arguing over the slightest thing
- Is derogatory and humiliating
- Has a lack of empathy
- Is convinced of his own superiority (arrogance and insecurity)
- Talk or think for you
- Only thinks in his/her own favor
- Blames you for everything
- Takes on a victim role
- Repel his partner and attract his partner again
- Exercises control and power over his/her partner
Arrogance or Confident?
These are 11 characteristics of a narcissistic relationship. There are of course even more 'characteristics' that may indicate a narcissistic partner or friend. What is important to know is that narcissistic people are often self-righteous to compensate for their insecurity. Their insecurity is turned into a certain arrogance and a so-called self-confidence. As a result, they often refer to the other as 'insecure' or 'wrong'. In a narcissistic relationship you cannot do anything right and you feel embarrassed. Everything revolves around the other, and there is no more room for you, the relationship, or people you love.
Jealousy and powerlessness in a narcissistic relationship
In a narcissistic relationship, your partner may act extremely jealous, while the narcissistic person is allowed to do anything. It is difficult to recognize immediately that this is not good for you, the majority of people will start to doubt themselves. That is exactly how the narcissistic person works (consciously and unconsciously). Narcissistic people can have little or no empathy towards another person, even if you come up with concrete facts, they will dismiss it and blame you. The narcissist's partner ends up in a pattern of powerlessness, because the narcissist has a lack of self-understanding.
Decisions are made
Narcissistic partners will know exactly what is right for you (not...), and will also want to convince you that they want the best for you. A certain mind control is difficult to recognize because in the beginning of the narcissistic relationship you will also believe this, since a narcissistic partner likes to shower you with gifts when he / she feels like it, they like to conquer you. A narcissistic relationship can be very sad, you get confused, overstimulated, tired and you may not feel like doing anything anymore, and your self-esteem has dropped to 0 point. Our experts, life coaches, relationship coaches, mediums and psychics often have a lot of experience and knowledge about narcissistic people and relationships. They can offer you more insight into yourself, the other and provide tools that are necessary to break a certain pattern. The first step can be for yourself: asking for help, but also learning to recognize certain patterns in the narcissist.
Not easy, certainly not impossible
Leaving a narcissistic relationship is not easy, as a narcissist knows how to manipulate, but once you learn to recognize the patterns and see that it no longer works for you this way, you are already on the right path for yourself. Free yourself from all blame and guilt and start your healing by (learning to) choose for yourself. Our narcissistic relationship experts are happy to help you. Our mediums, psychics, life coaches, psychic coaches provide insights and answers.
