Sure, we all think we know how to avoid falling for narcissists but do we really? Far too often they end up much too close for comfort.

Narcissists are people who have an excessive interest in themselves. Their sense of self-importance is inflated sometimes to an extreme level, and they crave attention from others. Narcissists are very unique but not in a good way. They are unable to handle criticism in most cases and tend to be quite emotionally abusive to their partners.

Below I am going to go over some of the signs that might indicate you are in a relationship with a narcissist. While some of these things will be easier to spot than the rest if you’re with a narcissist all will be quite present. If you find that your partner is a narcissist then chances are cutting ties will be your best option.

12 Signs That You Are In A Relationship With A Narcissist:

9. Your partner reacts negatively when you don’t give him or her what they want.

Narcissists tend to lash out when they don’t get what they want. If you tell him or her ‘no’ they you’re in for a disaster. They will get what they want one way or another.

10. Your partner like to make you feel bad.

Narcissists might not admit to this, but they really like to bring others down. They will always do their best to undermine any accomplishments that a person makes. If you think you’re doing something good they will always come at you with something even better and if you make a mistake they will never let you hear the end of it.

11. Your partner is not what you’d call reliable.

Narcissists will not be there for you when you need them. They always disappear when things get tough. This is because they just don’t care.

If your significant other is doing these things don’t let yourself get stuck. Get out of the toxic relationship you’re in while you can. There is nothing wrong with moving on and doing what is best for your own well-being.
