Unfortunately, you won’t get a narcissist to see where they are wrong, because of many different factors. One main factor is that they have no sense of self-reflection. Self-reflection means to observe and analyze oneself in order to grow or change as an individual. This is not the case for someone who has NPD narcissistic personality disorder, because they have convinced themselves that there is no need to grow or change. Self-reflection refers to in-depth awareness of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects that governs one’s life, and a narcissist’s personality disorder governs their entire life.

Narcissists Leave When You No Longer Play Their Game
It is not necessary for the self-centered narcissist to have a reason for leaving, but their departure is often due to the fact that they have discovered someone else who they enjoy more than you. Someone who is considered by him or her to be a “safe heaven and a better catch.” Due to the fact that this situation might alter rapidly, the narc will often want your rear door to remain open.
