Narcissist Blocking and Silent Treatment: Breaking Free and Moving On
Dealing with a narcissist can be a incredibly draining and painful experience. When you find yourself in the throes of their silent treatment and blocking for the fifth time in three years, it is crucial to take decisive action to protect yourself. Changing your phone number and email address is just the first step. There are several security measures you can take to ensure your safety and well-being.
The Importance of Physical and Digital Security
When a narcissist believes they have control over you, they will stop at nothing to regain it. Changing your phone number and email address is a significant step, but you also need to consider your physical security. Don't forget to change your home locks and any security codes or passwords associated with your home. A narcissist may try to find a way to breach your defenses, but taking control early can provide you with the opportunity to regain your life.
You have the power to make decisions about what you want to happen. Do you want to let the narcissist try again to connect with you, or do you prefer to maintain a no-contact approach and move on with your life? The choice is yours. By deciding to move forward, you can begin to reassert control over your life and prioritize your own well-being.
How to Take Control and Move On
Delete Your Email and Phone Number
Begin by deleting your current email address completely and hiding your phone number. Never look back. It can be difficult, but taking this step is crucial in breaking free from the narcissist's control. Move on and take interest in yourself. Let go of the soulless, non-existent narcissist and their toxic behaviors. Remember, they don't deserve your time or energy. Focus on self-love and self-empowerment.
