Why Narcissists Want To Stay Friends With You: Why The Narcissist Stays Friends With Their Exes #npd

The pain of #breakup with a #narcissist can be excruciating, especially when you realize the #person you loved was only using you. Even after the #relationship ends, the #narcissist will often try to maintain #contact and even #friendship with you. This leaves many people confused, wondering why their ex wants to stay friends after the #breakup. There are several reasons #narcissists want to remain friends that relate to their #personality and #needs. Many #narcissists enjoy knowing you still care about them and want their #friendship. By remaining friends, you are continuing to provide the #narcissist with #attention and #validation. This allows them to still reap the #benefits of your #caring nature without having to be in a committed #relationship. Staying friends also allows the #narcissist to keep you on the #backburner as a #backupsource of #supply and #stroketheiragenda. Narcissists often want to be friends so they can still have #access to resources. This could include money, gifts, help with tasks, or even physical intimacy on occasion. They want to #exploit whatever resources they can from you while giving nothing in return. It benefits them to remain friends and retain their #privileges without having to reciprocate or fulfill any #relationship responsibilities. Staying friends also lets the #narcissist continue to #exertyouremembrance over you. They may spread #lies about you, #triangulate you with their new #supplies, or find other ways to #hurt you emotionally. This allows them to continue their #abuse and maintain #power over you even after the #relationship ends. Having you as a friend also provides access to information about you that they can potentially use against you. Narcissists also want to stay friends to keep their #optionsopen. They are reluctant to permanently #sever #ties in case they decide they want you back under their #control in the future. Or they may keep the friendship so that if their newest #supplies don't work out, you'll be waiting in the #wings as a #backupplan. This allows them to #bounce back and forth between #supplies while keeping you #strungalong. Sometimes narcissists want to be friends purely for #narcissistic #supply. Having you as a friend #strokes their #ego and makes them feel important, desired, and admired. It also supports their #falseself image of being a #niceguy or girl who remains friends with their exes. Your #willingness to stay friends makes them feel like a #goodperson. In many cases, the narcissist simply wants to prove they have #power over you. By agreeing to stay friends, you are #validating the #narcissist's #belief that they can still #control you even after the breakup. They want to prove that they can have their #cake and eat it too - keep you as a backup supply while moving on to new targets. This feeds their sense of #superiority and #entitlement. Ultimately, it's important to recognize that #narcissists' interest in friendship after a breakup is not fueled by genuine care or concern for you. It's simply a way for them to continue extracting #narcissisticsupply from you. While you may hope to salvage a friendship, the #narcissist is only looking out for themselves. You deserve people in your life who value you and your needs. Saying no to friendship with a narcissistic ex is an act of self-love and paves the way for true connections. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @recoverthyself   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Watch the related Video at:    • The Cruelest Form of GASLIGHTING Examples😱...   The Cruelest Form of GASLIGHTING Examples #Narcissistic Phrases Signs Red Flags #narcissism    • When You Go No Contact The Narcissist Does...   When You Go No Contact The Narcissist Does This Everyday and Why "No Contact Works" #nocontact #npd 💔 https://youtube.com/live/49Czc_4WFKA Narcissists Are "More DEVASTATED" By This Than By No Contact, And Can Even Go CRAZY. #Narcissism 💔 Protect #covertnarc 💔 You can also read more in-depth at : https://thyselftherapy.com/narcissist... ❤️‍🩹 http://RecoverThyself.com/ ──────────── 00:00 - Why Narcissists Want To Stay Friends With You 01:02 - Friendship is a Gateway for Narcissistic Supply 02:00 - Friendship Promotes Future Faking 02:50 - Friendship is an Underhanded Control Tactic 03:40 - Friendship Lets Them Have Their Cake and Eat It Too 04:31 - Friendship Makes You a Backup Supply Source ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🔔🔔🔔SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS: ▸    / @recoverthyself   ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ RECOVER THYSELF Must-Watch Videos ▶ Narcissistic Sexual Coercion 💔 Toxic Sexual Patterns of Narcissists Watch here🠮   • Narcissistic Sexual Coercion 💔 Toxic Sexua...   ▶ Marriage + Narcissistic = Hell 💔 Why Narcissists Get Married?
