The Reason Narcissists Love Bomb and Devalue Their Partners So Easily, According to Psychology

How is that narcissists and psychopaths can love bomb their partners so heavily, only to suddenly withdraw, devalue, or attempt to “replace” one person with another? Why do you feel like the narcissist no longer “sees” you or that you cease to exist when you challenge the narcissist’s ego by standing up for yourself? Psychologists have a surprising answer to these questions.

Why Narcissists Pretend Their Victims Are “Obsessed” With Them

Have you ever met someone who assumed everyone had a crush on them regardless of the lack of evidence suggesting this? Your occasional smile is seen as an inevitable sign you’re falling in love with them. Your ability to respond to them the same way you do to everyone else is deemed a deep-seated infatuation – it can’t be the fact that you’re just a generally friendly person of course. You merely existing is you trying to “seduce” them. At least that is what the narcissist claims, even when they’re the ones who have been spending time and energy tracking your every move. Projection, much?
