End the Addiction With This

The tricky thing about narcissists is that your relationship with them often doesn’t feel toxic 100% of the time.

One moment, they might be charming and generous; the next, they could be cold and manipulative.

These “good” moments can feel addictive, and if you aren’t careful, they can keep you hooked on the relationship.

What I mean by this is that you end up staying connected to them despite all of the harm they cause because of how good the “good” moments make you feel.

In my experience, an important part of overcoming this addiction is finding ways to acknowledge that the “good” isn’t worth all the bad.

One way to do this is by writing down how you feel in the moments between the “highs” of the relationship.

For some people, documenting the impact the narcissist is having on them is the push they need to begin breaking free from the cycle.

I hope it can be for you too.

All the best,
