The Hidden Reasons Narcissists Sabotage Relationships

Why They Wreck Love

By Waleed AhmedPublished 11 months ago 4 min read

Relationships are impacted by the following factors, which are headwinds:

a lack of faith in the give and take

a lack of empathy and depth of feeling

focus on oneself

However, they are the appetizers.

The main dish that narcissists do that actually damage relationships, lives, and you comes in the form of these two bullet points.

narcissists stuck in a cycle

defy authority without a reason to achieve anything

The cycle of the narcissist

Relationships with narcissists are defined by the unavoidable truth that things usually go south when the relationship reaches the maturity stage, which is also known as the post-idealization stage. It is possible that they do this on a monthly basis, and everytime they do so, they experience a catastrophic decline.

The troughs in the cycle are rather profound. The harshest abuse from the narcissist is experienced at these moments in the narcissist cycle when things are going extremely poorly. This is in contrast to other times in the cycle.

How come?

It is due to a little-known makeup in the narcissist that narcissists naturally develop poisonous pus, which then continues to gather in an inner bag until either it has to be relieved or it will burst, resulting in devastating repercussions for the narcissist. This continuous production of poisonous pus is the cause of the narcissist cycle, which is accountable for its existence.

Whenever things are going too smoothly or too peacefully, it is just a matter of time until an excessive amount of pus builds on you that has to be voiding on you.

Does that seem implausible?

The narcissist cycle is the one that our hypothesis most closely matches. When everything is said and done, why is it that things always turn bad on a regular, cyclical, and periodic basis? When we examine narcissistic abuse from the perspective that the narcissist is seeking to solve an internal issue, they are trying to get rid of their monthly toxic pus supply on you. Prior to this, there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to narcissistic abuse. You are bearing the burden of their poisonous substances. Should they do so?

That is the issue that they are attempting to tackle, but it is not evident. On a monthly basis, they need to get rid of the negativity that has gathered in their lives, and you are the bucket for it.

Simply due to this reality, narcissists are exceedingly challenging to deal with in romantic relationships. Because of their monthly toxicity, they are handled like a toilet, which is, to put it mildly, a tough situation.

Narcissists engage in irrational defiance in order to achieve meaningless wins that provide them no benefits.

When the narcissist’s monthly poisonous pus threatens to break the containment bag, the primary method by which they alleviate the situation is by inverting those who are good and trusting them. The act of breaching your expectations of decency, faith, and love, as well as the purposeful targeting of your trust for betrayal, in some way resets their pus load and restores emotional balance. I think the primary way that this is accomplished is by forcing you to experience pain, sadness, and distress. Your annoyance is a comfort to their pus.

In addition, this is the reason why narcissistic abuse usually includes severe treatment of the mind and emotions. The poisonous pus that they produce is the root cause of the problem. Not only does the abuse fail to expel their pus, but it also fails to be poisonous. The narcissist is always going to resort to cruel behavior.

The narcissist’s foolish resistance is not for the purpose of winning or gaining anything; rather, it is for the purpose of addressing their internal dilemma, which is the question of what to do with their full pus bag’s contents.

A narcissist is a stubborn and foolish rebel, constantly striving to destroy and wreck everything, always attempting to change beautiful things into evil things. This is how the narcissist seems to an outside observer. And does not benefit in any way, either materially or in terms of relationships (it is detrimental to relationships rather than beneficial). What is the purpose of all of their victories that are meaningless?

On the other hand, a completely different thing is taking place on the inside. The narcissist is aware that their bag of pus is full and that they will soon have to empty it. As a result, they resort to rebellion that is not completely illogical to them in order to empty their bag of pus. They are attempting to find a solution to the issue of pus bags, and as a result, it is not illogical.

It is only illogical if we are unable to comprehend it from their perspective, which is that they are searching for a solution to an internal issue.

The conclusion is as follows:

When it comes to relationships, why are narcissists so challenging?

Negative toxicity is naturally produced by the narcissist, which we understand to be figuratively represented as poisonous pus. Whenever there is a month, this pus will always collect. In order to avoid a serious mood dysequilibrium, it is necessary for the narcissist to evacuate their bladder.

Using yourself as a toilet is the most efficient technique to eradicate it from your system.

One of the most important ways to do this is by engaging in defiance against spiritual traits such as love, trust, safety, and good will. Therefore, the narcissist will intentionally assault your love, trust, safety, and anticipation of goodwill via the act of rebellion in order to leave you in a situation that is less than positive emotionally and spiritually.

This allows the pus to be expelled from the body. And provides a solution to their own issue.

Those who have a monthly urge to do this to another person are ensuring that their relationships will be filled with periodic brutality and turmoil.
