After awhile, you start not to care about the narcissist.

The constant drama, the endless manipulation, the exhausting games - it all becomes too much to bear. You reach a point where you're numb to their antics, indifferent to their needs, and unresponsive to their provocations. The spell is broken, and you see them for what they truly are: a master manipulator, a skilled deceiver, and a heartless exploiter. You realize that their behavior is not about you, but about their own insecurities, their own fears, and their own desperate need for control. You start to detach, to let go of the emotional investment you once had in the relationship. You stop trying to fix them, stop trying to please them, and stop trying to understand them. You accept that they are who they are, and that they will never change. With detachment comes freedom. You're no longer held hostage by their whims, no longer trapped in their web of deceit. You're free to live your life, to pursue your own interests, and to cultivate meaningful relationships with others. You start to care about yourself, to prioritize your own needs, and to nurture your own well-being. You rediscover your own identity, your own values, and your own sense of purpose. You emerge from the toxic fog of the narcissist's world, blinking in the bright light of your own liberation. And when the narcissist tries to reel you back in, to manipulate you once more, you're immune. You see through their tactics, you resist their charms, and you maintain your distance. You know that you deserve better, that you're worth more, and that you'll never again surrender to their toxic grasp.
