Simple test to spot warning sign early on in the relationship, from a ‘diagnosed narcissist’
What is better than breaking up with a narcissist? Stopping yourself from dating one. People with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are notorious for being extremely secretive, but one simple test always reveals their true colors.
Increased dialogue around narcissism in the past decade or so has helped people realize the dangers of getting involved with the problematic personality type. As getting out of a toxic relationship can be extremely difficult, education and awareness about the mental health condition could save you a lot of pain and trouble.
‘No. 1 way’ to spot a narcissist in dating
Narcissists are masters of manipulation and skilled enough to have their own way. Despite their highly calculated tactics, some behaviors are hard to hide.
Diagnosed narcissist, Steve Ingram Aka The Bat Wolf, reveals how to spot a narcissist early on in the relationship and it isn’t as difficult as one would imagine.
If you suspect someone you’re dating of being a narcissist, tell them you want to take things slow and notice their reaction to being said “no.”
Things moving too fast is a tell-tale sign of a narcissistic relationship. The narcissist in your life wants to spend every second of the day with you as if you are soulmates.
Not only is it unhealthy to accommodate them into your life so quickly, but the closeness can create co-dependency, thus making it harder for you to walk away from them.
If the person you’re dating reacts poorly when you want to pump the breaks on the relationship, take it as a warning sign and cut off from them as soon as possible.
Steve says narcissists, such as himself, try to move things fast in a relationship because they can’t keep their masks on for too long.
Obvious traits of a narcissist
Narcissists don’t process emotions like normal humans do. Certain behaviors are very telling.
In a different video, Ingram shares different ways to tell if you’re dealing with a narcissist, including their inability to take accountability.
They will always deny and try to shift the blame onto you when they are at fault and no amount of proof can convince them otherwise.
They are known for attacking others by bringing up insignificant issues from the past when they are caught doing something unacceptable.
Narcissists always play the victim because they truly believe everyone’s against them. They will end up making you feel guilty for their mistakes.
When nothing else works, they go into a narcissistic rage, which can be extremely intimidating and nerve-wracking.
