00:00Narcissists don't fall in love. They over-attach. Understanding this could actually save you
00:05years of heartache from the wrong relationships. So here's the thing. Narcissists, they don't
00:10actually love you. They love how you make them feel about themselves. There's a very important
00:15difference there. The intensity at the beginning of the relationship with a narcissist, it's not
00:19passion. It's possession. You become part of their narcissistic supply. And like vampires,
00:25they will suck you dry from that supply for all of your validation and energy and attention,
00:30and then discard you once you have no more to give. A narcissist, their love has conditions that you can
00:36never consistently meet. And honestly, that's kind of the point. They keep moving the goalposts to keep
00:42you trying to please them. And when you do finally leave, they actually don't miss you. They simply
00:47miss what you did for them. And any attempt to fix them or go back and make amends or find
00:52closure,
00:53you're just giving them more of that narcissistic supply. You're just re-entering the same toxic
00:58cycle that you exited. At some point, you have to accept that you are merely filling a role
01:03and not being loved as a real person.
