Does a Narcissist know they are making a Trauma Bond?

Oh I obviously struck a nerve. 😂

Why did you delete my comment ?

Uh huh. He was always "trying so hard". If i wanted or needed anything else than it was "never enough". The blame game is central to their ability to cause all this damage without truly understanding what they are doing.

Intentionally or unintentionally it doesnt matter....they do what they need to d😊o to get what they need and want. The end jistifies the means.

Narcissist are good at one place only and that's their mind .

What I don't understand is what kind of person does the Narcissist want to be in a relationship with ideally? Some people say a doormat that just capitulates with their every manipulation. I don't think this is true, because Narcissists seem to get bored when there's no challenge for them. Is it just about getting Narcissistic supply to fill the void?

When the narcissist finds that their friends, spouses, subordinates, colleagues, or bosses, have recovered from the trauma bond they created in them and are progressing emotionally, physically, and financially, would they remember them?

Can a narcissist ever become trauma bonded?

Straight up weirdos

Mine shamed me because of I had a guilty pleasure of watching a reality show. He would pretend to be into it with my friends and family. He would even tweet about it on occasion but privately basically said I was pathetic because that was the only connection I could offer him during discard.

This is helpful. Thanks.

Came here through Lee....You explain things very very well.
Someday I hope to find a selfaware introverted fragile narc explaining 😐
They are often diagnosed as autistic...even therapists have difficulty seeing through them...

Yes, they just mirror you and your likes. Once you're married total 180 🤯

Mine knew, It's deliberate

When I initially started trying to find connection, I asked myself continuously if it was a trauma bond of some sort...for me, I became enamored with ppls eyes, ironically I now don't want to look anybody in the eyes...idk, the dreams didn't help either, as well as other mental shit

Never show a current vulnerability. No it's not the one. Grooming is revolting.

Speaking of something Trauma Bond related and before I knew about them, the Ex Narc remarked, “You wouldn’t have it any other way”.. 🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Does Drug Abuse make the Narc
Worse??

A Narcissist wouldn't care to put a name to a method. They creste situations and know how to manipulate those situations to get the best from them. 🍒

Followed from Lee.... I'm divorcing a narcissist that I never saw. The breakup/divorce took me from left field. I'm in therapy etc. just learning all I can. Gaslighting is something I never knew, understood or struggled so hard for so long with.

Unadditcted i had time heal since then helping do my work all stuff

ChaRacter trait aquistion.

I think so.. they build this delusion around you.. and its obscures ur true reality 😔
