Not every emotionally unavailable person is a narcissist, but every narcissist is emotionally unavailable.

They need a lot of praise to avoid their fear that they’re not good enough. If you don’t provide this praise, they’ll fish for it.

Most of us have a ‘one that got away,’ and they’re usually the one we actually pushed away because we were scared, not ready, or didn’t feel good enough.

When a man says you’re too good for him, what he’s really saying is, “I can’t give you what you want. In fact, I REFUSE to give you what you want.”

It’s hard not to help someone when they so desperately need it, but it is not fair on you to constantly end up hurt and drained.
