 Don't go down, don't go down, don't go down, don't go down. When the narcissist realises you're not coming back, that is what we're going to be talking about in this video. And there's really only two things that can happen. When they realise that you're fed up with them, you've caught on, you know what they're about. You're not coming back. When you are dealing with a narcissist, there are only two things that will happen at that point. And one of the possibilities is that they will try to love bomb you. If they have the means, if maybe they are quite attractive or wealthy, or they could just be very arrogant and delusional. So in those situations, they may try to get you back. But even then, all it's going to be is just more manipulation. It's never going to amount to anything real. It's just something that they use as a means to get your attention, to get their narcissistic supply. So this is one of the things that could happen when they realise that you're not coming back. And the other thing that is likely to happen is that they will try to punish you. When they see that you are trying to separate from them, when they see that you are trying to go off on your own, they will start a smear campaign against you. And it's to prevent you from moving on and continuing in your own separate life and existence. Because remember, narcissists, they view us as extensions of themselves. They don't see us as separate people with our own wants and needs. So when they realise that you're not coming back, this is what they're going to do. They will try to get you fired from your job. They will try to target you financially. They will smear your name. They will assassinate your character. And many of you may have been through this already. Let me know down in the comments below when the narcissists realised that you're not coming back, what did they do to you? Did they love bomb you? Did they try to manipulate you again? Or did they start a smear campaign against you? Because when you're dealing with a narcissist, it's likely to be one of these two things. And they may even try to manipulate you first. But then if that Hoover attempts fails, then they will go to the smear campaign. Because believe it or not, but the smear campaign is actually a last resort. They don't really want to do that. They start a smear campaign against you because they recognise your value and importance. Otherwise they wouldn't even waste their time. Of course they're not going to waste all of their energy and effort on someone who they deem to be insignificant or someone who's not worth anything anyway. There wouldn't be any point. So if they have the means, the capacity, or if they're arrogant and delusional enough, then yes, of course, they will try to get you back first. They will try to love bomb you. Because as I said, yes, they recognise your value. That is why they kept you as their source of supply for such a long time. Otherwise they would have gotten rid of you a long time ago. So this is how you know that yes, they do recognise your value. They are not blind to it. They are completely aware of it. But just because they recognise it, that does not mean they're going to appreciate you. And if you're dealing with a narcissist, all you're going to get is more manipulation. It's never going to be anything different than that. They don't have anything else to give to you. They already know that even if they tried, it wouldn't amount to anything anyway. It wouldn't last. Because they'd likely get bored of you as they need constant entertainment. They would end up running off with a new supply and then they would have to find a way to blame you for that. But you would likely get bored and tired of them once you realise what they're really about. That's why when we realise we catch on, we typically don't want anything to do with them. Knowing in a same state of mind and who is thinking rationally would want to be involved with a narcissist. And that's the whole point of the manipulation. It's to trick and confuse you. To keep you involved with them. Because if you were thinking rationally and you were in the same state of mind, you wouldn't want anything to do with them and they know that. Which of course is why they resort to the manipulation. It's to keep you stuck and under their control. Because all they really care about is your attention. As long as you're focused on them. And if we want to talk about the reasons why they need constant attention and they can never be alone, it all goes back to their childhood. They experienced a lot of emotional trauma as a child. Maybe they were abused or neglected by their parents. And of course this type of treatment leaves lasting effects. It can completely change a person's life for the worse. It leaves a lasting effect on them. Especially if it happened before their personalities were formed. But yes, when they realize that you're not coming back, all you're going to get is more manipulation. I've said it before, the best you will ever get from a narcissist is an illusion. I did videos on this years ago and even to this day I stand by that fact. A person who has a mental illness or personality disorder by default all they can do is manipulate people. They can never be real or authentic and that's why there's never any depth, meaning or substance to the relationship. There's no purpose to it, it's just crazy making because you're not dealing with a person who is mentally sound. So all you're going to get is more manipulation. It's never going to amount to anything of significance. And if you don't fall for the manipulation then they're going to resort and this is really their last resort to the smear campaign. When all else has failed, they smear your name. It's pretty much never the first option for them. And of course because it requires so much work, so much energy, so much of their time. So of course they would much rather just keep you under their spell. If they can't do that then they really have no other choice. They will resort to the smear campaign. Just being for a walk in this park by the lake and I visited the temple up there in the mountains. Just out here living my life, doing what I do every day. Traveling and exploring. And I hope you are too. If the narcissist is getting you down just go out explore. Travel if you can. As I've said before, one of my famous quotes. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured. So don't spend your time around or thinking about someone who makes you feel like you're having to endure life. That's not why we came here. Of course that's how it is for narcissists. Every day they feel like they're having to endure this existence. And that is why they're so abusive and manipulative. But yeah I hope this message helps someone.
