Number 6. Be the Woman Who Never Tries to Prove Her Worth
The more you explain yourself, the more they play confused. You know that the more you fight for the relationship, the more difficult they make it; the more they punish your effort. It’s all a setup, a game to keep you in a loop where your love is a performance never enough, never recognized.
But the moment you stop trying to prove that you’re worthy of being loved unconditionally and instead start acting like you already are, something shifts. You stop selling yourself, and they lose their audience. That power reversal is what makes them spiral. There is no stopping that. When you take your power back by recognizing that you are intrinsically valuable, that you deserve reciprocity, they die.
They want you to settle for breadcrumbs, but when you recognize that these breadcrumbs are moldy, that they’re killing you, that they are poisoning you, that they are not even the bare minimum, you wake up to your truth, and truth is what burns a narcissist.
Number 7. Be the Woman Who Stops Hoping They Will Change
Hope is their greatest weapon. As I said, they create fake hope intentionally. They will give you glimpses of decency just to pull you back in. But when you finally accept that this is who they are, that the love you imagined is never coming to you, you remove the hook. You stop playing their game, and that is when they panic, they shake, they tremble, because they have always relied on your hope to keep the door open.
When you close that door and lock it from the inside, they know they have lost something permanent, and you’re never coming back. Sometimes they give you the silent treatment; they do not respond, and they want you to fall apart. They wait for that moment to happen. But when you give yourself the closure that you know you cannot get from them, the game is lost, and that, my dear survivor, is the ultimate defeat of the narcissist.
It leaves a lingering effect; it makes them think about you all the time because they want to be the one to say the last word, to shut that door on you. When you take that power, when you reverse roles, you destroy their power in the real sense possible.
