Number 2: When you neglect and stop caring about them.
Narcissists won’t take it lightly, they’ll either pretend to forget that you don’t care anymore or they’ll get mad at you for neglecting them. If you’ve ever been with a narcissist, there’s nothing worse than when they realize that you’ve stopped giving them the care and attention that they desperately need.
In addition, they are very sensitive, when they feel neglected; they feel like they have no value. They can feel hurt and abandoned, resulting in severe consequences for you. And they can start feeling like they’re not good enough and have no purpose in life. Narcissists think the world revolves around them, and they feel entitled to everything in it.

They are used to getting what they want that when someone else stands up for themselves, it can feel like an attack on their identity.
When you set boundaries with a narcissist, it can hurt them forever. Setting healthy boundaries is a complicated process, but it’s important to remember that your needs are your top priority.
When setting boundaries for them, they must be aware of how they might respond. They may try to manipulate or guilt-trip you into changing your mind but don’t get caught up in these reactions instead.
