(In short, from the narcissist’s point of view). Did you know that a narcissist needs someone more than you? This post highlights how a narcissist views life and you.
When you first intertwine with me, you will always belong to me. You become mine, mine, to do as I see fit. Your opinions, hopes and dreams are not material to me. You need to stop thinking about yourself and putting my needs above everything else. Give me all your time and attention and admiration or there will be hell to pay. Your hell, not mine.
In the beginning I was the center of my world. Soon I will be the center of you.
You will learn to accept my version of the truth.
I will never be held responsible when things go wrong, and believe me, they will. no escape.
Don’t expect me to accept blame at all. It wouldn’t be my fault. I don’t make mistakes.
Instead, I will blame you every time.

I will manipulate you into thinking the way I think.
I will control your mind and your free will until you begin to think that you no longer have a mind of your own.
You will become so confused that you begin to doubt your reality, and your sanity and your ability to trust yourself will slowly erode.
I know who is good for you and who is not.
If your friends and family are not on my team, you will be goaded, manipulated, and eventually forced to dump them. When you isolate yourself from your friends and family, you will be completely at my mercy, and you will have no one but me, to turn to for support.
I will read your mind.
I know what you’re thinking even when you don’t know yourself.
I am above the law. The normal rules apply to everyone else, not me. What was yours before, now belongs to me. What is mine, is mine. If I wanted something I wouldn’t hesitate to take it. Borrowing is another word for permanent possession, regal.
I will control your happiness or lack thereof. You will not be happy unless this happiness is what you bring me. I will control your mood until my nakedness is yours.

Don’t set limits.
I will see these barriers as barriers that must be demolished and overcome, and I will succeed.
Don’t ever ask me where I’m going or what I’m doing. You don’t have the right to know. Never criticize me for my behavior. My behavior is always above reproach. If you can’t accept that, you won’t have a place in my fold.
Whatever you do for me will never be enough. It could have done more or done better. This is and always will be. Don’t expect gratitude from me. I will always be satisfied with your efforts.
When you see my dissatisfaction, you will try harder to please me and do better next time.
I’m pulling your strings and you don’t even know it. To see your never-ending struggle to please me entertains me for a while. I deserve special treatment, you just couldn’t rise to the challenge and failed to meet what was expected.
The goalposts never stand still. They will be taken again and again to meet my unreachable expectations.

I will constantly bring you down so that you are no longer a reflection of who you once were.
If you move on or if you leave me, I will show you how insignificant you are to me, as I move on to another person as if you were never there.
I reserve the right to get back to you when I see fit. You will welcome me with open arms when I come back into your life for a while. Nothing is permanent in life.
If I lose control of you, I will control how others see you. I will let people know how I hurt me and they will believe me because I have already planted the seeds.
Don’t ever cross me. I will never forget nor will I ever forgive. I will take revenge.
