Promises. It boils down to not keeping their promises
They make promises that they never intend to keep. Why would they? Doing so, would suggest they actually care. But we know they don't. They could care less about our relationship with them, and therefore, they think they don't need to be honest and trustworthy.
When we attempt to hold them to their promises, they'll say we are hounding them and why don't we get off their backs about it. They'll go off on us, claiming we are encroaching on their freedom and are nagging them. It's their way of getting out of keeping a promise. They constantly let us down in this manner. They get our hopes up, only to break our hearts when they break a promise. In their minds, that's how they break us. By not keeping promises. They want us to feel let down. They want us to feel broken. But that doesn't happen overnight. Breaking us requires a time commitment on their part. They make a promise. We may ask about it. They say they forgot (but we know they didn't), and it'll get pushed back. We forgive. We hold hope in that they'll come through for us. But they never do. The point is to keep putting this promise off. Maybe in hopes that we'd forget. If we don't, they'll just keep putting it off leading to to inevitable let down. Bottom line We expect them to hold their word because we would. We are good kindhearted people who would keep the promises we make. So we expect the same for the Narcissists. But they are not honorable people. They are liars and promise breakers. What are your thoughts about how Narcissists let us down? Comment below. And as always, I appreciate you for sharing your stories with me.
