How to Move On from a Narcissist and Find True Happiness
Written on
Chapter 1: Breaking Free from the Illusion
If you find yourself longing for a narcissist, it's time to stop. Your pursuit of happiness cannot coexist with someone who lacks the capacity to genuinely care for you. The hope that the narcissist will recognize their errors and seek reconciliation is simply wishful thinking—it’s unlikely to happen.
Your relationship has concluded, leaving you liberated from the web of deceit, betrayal, and various forms of abuse—be it emotional, financial, or even physical.
Do you truly miss that?
Are you prepared to risk your well-being once more for fleeting moments of false happiness?
By now, you understand the dynamics at play—you are familiar with the cycle of love bombing, devaluation, and eventual rejection. When you weigh these experiences, it becomes clear that the scales tip heavily towards negativity.
So, take a moment to reflect: do you want to endure this cycle again? Are you willing to sacrifice months of self-recovery for just a few weeks of an illusionary joy?
How many times must you relive this before declaring, "Enough is enough"? Are you so entrapped that you can't break free? Have they diminished your self-worth to the point where you accept being treated as a mere option rather than the priority you deserve?
If you are still waiting for the narcissist to return, it signifies that you remain emotionally tethered to them. Your judgment may be clouded, and you might find yourself following their lead blindly. They may push you towards despair, and it’s crucial to realize that this path only leads to further anguish.
It's time to shift your perspective. Ignore their messages, photos, and updates. You no longer wish to focus on this impostor—a master of deceit. Instead, aim to gradually move forward and close this chapter for good.
Maintaining any form of contact will hinder your ability to start anew—not a fresh beginning with the narcissist, as that will only lead to the same disheartening conclusion. Are you prepared to wait indefinitely for someone who will ultimately bring you pain?
The ball is in your court. It’s up to you to take that ball, end the game, and walk away. Don't expect a few kind words to hold any weight; you risk wasting precious time yearning for someone who never cared for you. The truth is, narcissists do not love—they lack the ability to form genuine emotional connections.
They are incapable of providing what they themselves do not possess. It’s comparable to trying to purchase laundry detergent at a pharmacy—you can only experience its scent while becoming addicted to the idea, just as you might become entranced by the narcissist’s allure.
This fascination is purely a mental construct, with no real substance on their end. The narcissist is not thinking of you, but you are caught in a cycle of obsession about them.
Do you really want to squander your time fixating on someone who may never return?
In time, you will come to realize that you don't truly wish to see them again, despite your current feelings suggesting otherwise. Are you willing to grant the narcissist the pleasure of seeing you in this vulnerable state? They left you there, desiring to see you suffer and remain stagnant.
The narcissist relishes in their power, knowing they can waltz back into your life whenever they choose, with the door wide open for them. In some cases, those doors are not merely entrances—they are revolving doors, allowing them to circulate in and out with others while you remain in limbo. You are well aware of their actions but still find yourself waiting.
Waiting for a message from the narcissist and responding immediately only reinforces their control. They might reach out simply to verify that you are still a source of attention. Once they confirm this, they may block you and vanish without a trace.
How would that make you feel?

You should not hold out hope for the narcissist; it is detrimental to your well-being. Even if they return, what would you truly gain from it? The potential losses far outweigh any fleeting benefits.
If you continue to wait, you remain trapped in an illusion, and your life is effectively on pause.
Do not wade into the same toxic waters again; this river is poisoned and far more dangerous than before.
