Oh my God, I love this!

Really? I think it kind of sucks.

I really want to buy a pair of these; they’re pretty.

Hmm, I think they look awful on you, actually.

I really want to try this as a new hobby.

I don’t think so. You wouldn’t last five minutes.

I know many of you will be feeling it as I write this. It’s devastating to love something that a narcissist automatically rejects.

I have eight reasons why they do this to give you the idea that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you.

I’m on your side!

That Feeling

Let’s talk about that for a minute before we get into these eight things, because I know that’s what’s going to show you all here.

When you love something so deeply, it’s a great feeling, isn’t it? You’re drawn to a song, a hobby, a sunrise, a property, a car, a new goal, or a new passion that you want to pursue and build.

Despite being in an abusive relationship, you’ve managed to find a part of yourself that’s still alive.

That spark hasn’t completely disappeared, and you want to hold on to it and explore it.

All you want is for the person you’re with to support you, or at least care about what you love.

Because that’s what people do, right? Even with a narcissistic friend or family member, you might think they’re on your side.

If that makes you happy, what’s the problem?

It doesn’t make sense to see someone who’s supposed to care about you hate what you love.

What exactly are they trying to achieve by rejecting you?

1 Create Conflict

Is there anything to a simple fight?

I don’t necessarily mean a physical fight here, but unfortunately, some narcissists have a wild and unacceptable physical streak.

Even though emotional conflict is painful but invisible, it still leaves a powerful impression, and that conflict is what all narcissists love.

They want to confront and express a problem so you can apologize and back down, or stop what they consider hateful.

They want to provoke you so that you’ll remember what you loved about the moment you had a disagreement.

Of course, the narcissist is fully aware that your disagreement only happens because it creates a heavy, toxic atmosphere.

This isn’t true at all, but here we go.

2 They’re Jealous of You

What do you love doing so much that the narcissist is completely incapable of doing it themselves? Maybe they’ve tried, but they’re simply not as natural as you.

Maybe they don’t get the joy of watching a golden sunset.

They’re unlikely to enjoy a TV show or movie that requires any kind of imagination, so they’ll almost make you feel embarrassed for liking it.

A narcissist is emotionally limited—but that shouldn’t be your fault or your problem.

Jealousy stems from their desire to freely do what you do, but narcissists are more rigid in their personalities and view flexibility as weakness.

3 Wanting to Destroy Your Self-Confidence

It’s unnatural to want to destroy someone’s confidence.

Even if you don’t know or like someone, why waste your time on them when you could be working on your own energy?

Narcissists have this desire, and they will continue to explore it while they want to destroy you.

That’s stupid.

Why bother?

To you, these words cut like a knife, and they’ll all leave you feeling lost, wanting nothing at all.

4 They Hate Everything Anyway

I’ll call it what it is—they really do hate everything. It’s pretty easy to see when you peer into a narcissist’s mind.

You’ll find plenty of evidence pointing to their daily contempt…

…but it’s there! Their hatred of everything will also include what you love.

In my opinion, this is a great excuse for not caring what they think. It’s not your problem that they find fault with every little thing in the world. And that shouldn’t be contagious.

5 As an excuse to mock you (and then improve)

The problem, then the cure, right? What a way to send you flying through interstellar space and time.

Narcissists can be very intelligent, you know. They want to be seen as heroes, but only in the case of the trauma they’ve unconsciously created.

Making fun of you and then trying to improve is unacceptable and can really affect you in the long run.

If they can upset you, they can make it up to you later. So all is forgiven…

…except you still remember they were incredibly stupid.

6 To Ignore Your Passion

Narcissists are only passionate about looking good. If they’re bragging, they’re in a completely perfect world.

As far as I know, I’ve never met a narcissist who’s truly passionate about a project, hobby, person, or lifestyle that doesn’t fit their ideal image.

They need a life-sustaining stimulus. Money. Other people’s pain. They’re passionate about wrecking relationships and creating a miserable world for you to live in.

If that includes trampling on what you’re passionate about, they will.

Their goal?

To weaken you in every way possible.

7 Control Your Love

You certainly can’t love this! How about this instead?

This is where you want to work, not where you currently go to earn a paycheck.

How can you really enjoy watching this? Try this—it’s amazing!

So, the idea is to stop what you’re doing, listen, and focus on what the narcissist loves, because that’s where you’ll find your happiness.

Breaking news—you’re not them, and they’re not you. We love different things in life, and if the narcissist can’t accept that, they may be the one with the problem. Refuse to be controlled, and you’ll find yourself sticking with what you love because it represents you.

Let them continue their destructive lives on their own.

8 Because they can’t do it themselves

If a narcissist can’t do it, they won’t enjoy seeing you accomplish it easily.

I’m not going to lie, they’ll get really angry when you see them enjoying what you love.

On top of that, they’ll likely ridicule you, make you regret the day you decided to try or do anything new, and leave you wishing you’d never bothered.

All because they can’t.

Are you sure you want to stop just because the narcissist is bothering you?

If anything, it’ll make me want to do it even more!

If I were you, and I liked something a narcissist was trying to hide, I’d like it anyway.

What they think doesn’t matter, even if they try to amplify their childish feelings.

The only feeling you have is that what you are doing is wrong, when in reality – and the proof is – it is all because the narcissist is acting narcissistically!
