Why Do Narcissists Give Closure and End Relationships?
Narcissists, often characterized by their self-centered and manipulative behavior, can be particularly difficult to understand and deal with emotionally. One common question that surfaces is, 'Why do narcissists give closure and end relationships?' In this article, we will explore the reasons behind this behavior and provide insights into the nature of narcissistic relationships.
The Truth About Narcissists Ending Relationships
It's a widespread belief that true narcissists never give closure; they leave without providing any explanations or answers. This is often due to their belief that the situation is about them, and not about the other person. They do not value emotional closure or the well-being of others, and their actions are driven more by their own needs than by genuine concern for the relationship.
Narcissists' Psychology
Narcissists are known for their need for attention, control, and validation. They often view relationships as a means to fulfill these needs. When they feel their supply of attention is diminishing or their control over the other person is slipping, they may end the relationship. This is a strategic move to regain control and to re-establish their own ego importance.
Additionally, narcissists may return to a former partner solely for the purpose of re-establishing their dominance or testing the former partner's reaction. This behavior is not about giving closure or providing an apology. Instead, it is about seeing if they can still exert control and influence over the other person, thus boosting their own self-esteem and ego.
Narcissists may also use closure as a tool for mental harassment. By leaving and then potentially returning, they can manipulate the situation to see how much impact and emotional effect they have on their former partners.
Why Narcissists Don't Give Closure
True narcissists rarely give closure because they base their actions on their own needs and desires, not on the emotional well-being of their partners. The amount of supply (attention) a person provides to a narcissist determines whether they will return or leave permanently. They are essentially leeches or blood suckers who rely on the "attention" their former partners provide, and when they feel that supply is diminishing, they move on to a new one.
Narcissists are always on the "hunt" for new supplies, as the current one no longer fulfills their needs. This is why they leave relationships abruptly. They do not care about giving closure or fixing the relationship; they only care about getting what they want.
Conclusion: Moving On from a Narcissistic Relationship
It is crucial to understand that staying in a narcissistic relationship can be detrimental to your overall well-being and personal growth. True narcissists do not provide closure because they do not value the emotional well-being of their partners. If you are in such a relationship, it is imperative to set boundaries and seek support from trusted friends or professionals.
Wishing you real love and fulfilling relationships.
