A narcissistic relationship often starts as too much too fast — this is then followed by a cycle of devaluing, discarding, and ups and downs. An almost supernatural spark with someone might feel good in the moment, but can actually be a major red flag in the relationship.

How do narcissists view relationships?

Narcissistic partners usually have difficulty really loving someone else, because they dont truly love themselves. They are so focused on themselves that they cannot really “see” their partner as a separate person. They tend to only see the partner in terms of how they fill their needs (or fail to fill their needs).

Why do narcissists get into relationships?

The Narcissists Mind Relationships are used to enhance their ego and give them what they value, such as status, power, esteem, and sex. You have to have something to offer them. Theyre only motivated by that, and arent interested in you as a person or doing anything for you without some sort of payment in return.
