What Are the True Feelings Narcissists Have for You and How Can You Protect Yourself | Sigma Empath

Understanding what narcissists genuinely think of you and how they perceive you is crucial, especially if you are entangled with one in any capacity. Whether the narcissist is a family member, a boss, a colleague, a schoolmate, a partner, a parent, or even just an acquaintance, grasping their perception of you has significant implications. Their view of you affects how they treat you and whether they might scheme against you behind your back.

Narcissistic relationships often evolve through distinct stages, and recognizing where you stand in these phases is essential for managing interactions with the narcissist. The dynamics of these relationships can be complex, and understanding them can help you navigate your encounters more effectively. In the mind of a narcissist, people are essentially instruments to be used for their own gain. They see themselves as superior and often look to undermine anyone they perceive as a threat or competitor. This mindset unfolds in three main stages: deception, devaluation, and discard.

In the initial stage, commonly known as "love bombing," the narcissist presents an extravagant display of affection and admiration. During this phase, they shower you with compliments, gifts, and attention, carefully mirroring your behavior to create a strong sense of connection and trust. However, this seemingly sincere admiration is not truly about you but rather serves the narcissist's own needs for validation and control. While there may be moments of genuine appreciation, the narcissist's affection is ultimately superficial and self-serving.

As the relationship progresses, the initial charm begins to fade, giving way to the devaluation phase. This is marked by a noticeable shift in the narcissist's behavior. The qualities they once praised in you are now criticized, and they become distant and unpredictable. During this phase, you might experience silent treatments, smear campaigns, and blame-shifting. To the narcissist, you have become the target for their negative emotions, and they will act to diminish you to maintain their own sense of superiority and control.

Throughout these phases, the narcissist's perception of you remains quite superficial and erratic. They fluctuate between idealizing you and devaluing you based on their need for control and admiration. Their outward charm and flattery mask a fundamentally manipulative and self-serving agenda. The narcissist's approach to relationships is inherently characterized by suspicion and judgment, making it nearly impossible for them to form genuine connections or empathize with others.

To protect yourself from the influence of narcissists, it is essential to establish clear boundaries and maintain a healthy distance. Avoid letting them into your inner circle or sharing personal information with them. Keeping interactions at a surface level and engaging only when absolutely necessary helps reduce the risk of manipulation and emotional harm. By understanding the narcissist's mindset, you can better defend yourself against their tactics and protect your well-being.

Recognizing that narcissists thrive on control and manipulation can empower you to set firm boundaries and focus on your own mental health. Being aware of their behavior patterns allows you to shield yourself from their toxic influence. In summary, your priority should be to safeguard your mental health when dealing with narcissistic individuals. By staying vigilant and protecting your boundaries, you can navigate your interactions with them more effectively and maintain your emotional stability.
