Why You Should Let Go of a Narcissist and Move On
Why do you want to hurt a narcissist? This may sound like a complex and dark question. Eight years ago, my response to this question would have reflected an intense and raw emotional state, one filled with anger, rage, and an overwhelming desire for revenge. I was at the brink of suicide, broke, and had lost everything I had worked so hard for. An evil person had taken everything away from me and forced me to flee with my kids, taking a leap of faith to start over in a new city I had never visited.
Not for the faint of heart is an understatement for how I felt then. My anger was so intense that it seemed like an understatement. I was not only filled with rage and desire for revenge but also felt like a coward for moving 2000 miles away and cutting off all contact. Now, years later, I am so proud of myself. It took great courage to leave everything behind and walk away with a clean conscience.
I understand that my journey might sound like a broken record, but it is true. The best and only way to heal from a toxic/narcissistic relationship is to walk away. It may be the most difficult decision you will ever make, but it is a decision that shows you have reclaimed your power. You have realized your worth, a realization that no one can take away from you.
Letting go of a narcissist is crucial for your mental and emotional well-being.
Understanding the Harm Caused by Narcissists
Narcissists, whether in a personal or professional setting, can have a devastating impact on the individuals they interact with. They tend to ignore or undermine the feelings of others, mistreating them and leaving them feeling unimportant and worthless. This behavior can lead to deep emotional scars that take a long time to heal.
The Dangers of Reckless Actions
The urge to hurt a narcissist can be powerful, but it is important to recognize that doing so may not be the best solution. Harming a narcissist can escalate into further conflict, potentially leading to dangerous situations. Instead of seeking vengeance, consider limiting contact and focusing on taking care of yourself.
There are healthier ways to cope with the pain of a narcissistic relationship. By taking care of your own well-being, you can begin to heal and move forward.
