Once the narcissist fishes you out of the relationship pool there is one thing they fear most.

That they will lose their catch. That you will somehow slip off of their hook. Because of this, they will make you feel as if you were lucky to have been caught by them in the first place.

In fact, they will make it appear as if you were not the ‘catch of the day’ at all.

That somehow it was you who landed this narcissistic big fish.

Aren’t you the lucky one!

Initially, this works quite well.

You truly do forget the narcissist once reeled you in.

Because everything about the narcissist just becomes grander. Almost to the point of perfection.

The narcissist swims by and everyone takes notice. Everyone loves them and likewise, they appear to love others. They are captivating conversationalists. They make people feel good with charming accolades. They are successful.
