It is best to leave and walk away while or if you can. NPD narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by pathological personality traits of grandiosity (an inflated sense of self), inflated ego, attention-seeking behaviors, fake facade, and lack of empathy. Sooner or later, It is very easy to fall in love or be in love with a narcissist. What you may not know is that you’re in love with a lie, and a liar. They are very charming and conniving resulting in many victims falling for their charm, including falling in love. Your love may be authentic, but not theirs. Rules will be broken, boundaries will constantly be crossed, and the narcissist will never take accountability for anything. The gestures of love, attention, and affection will be on their terms only, which will force you into a state of submission, obedience, frustration, and insecurity. You may be in love with someone who doesn’t love you. When the person you love is someone who will constantly test your love and with no reciprocity is something that you need to know. You may love the person, the potential, purpose, and passion but you won’t love the pain.

You will need to prepare yourself for devaluation, disrespect, demeaning behavior, and then the possibility of the diabolical discard. In order for you to realize who you’re really in love with you…
