A narcissist doesn't break your heart, they break your spirit. That's why it takes so long to heal.

Narcissists think the world revolves around them.

Narcissists have an excessive need for admiration, a disregard for others' feelings and an inability to handle any criticismand a sense of entitlement.

So a narcissist can not see the truth, they can only speak and see what is in their best interest, regardless of how it effects someone else.

There is no way to change or help a narcissist to see what's happening and help them change their behavior.

You are powerless, so make sure you put your energy and actions into what is helpful, safe and in your life's best interest.
