The Narcissist Wants You Mentally Exhausted

[00:00:00]Imagine for a second that I'm a narcissist. My whole game plan is to keep you confused, is to keep you guessing, keep you on your toes, keep you in a state of emotional reactivity.

[00:00:12]I'm constantly going to be breaking boundaries and shocking you, giving you little spurts of adrenaline. Did he really say that? What did he mean when he did that? I want you confused. I want you doubting yourself. You say that you see the color red and I say, "No, it's not red. Why do you always say it's red?" And I shame you for it. I make you feel fear. I make you feel anxiety. I make you think that you're the source of all this confrontation and turbulence.

[00:00:36]But one of the nastiest tricks I'm going to play is make you feel like you're fundamentally a bad person. You're broken. There's something wrong with you. Realizing that I'm doing that allows you to instill this little piece of information, which is you can abandon all sincere communication when you're communicating with the terminally insincere. Yeah.
