9. Gaslighting
Gaslighting through texts is a common tactic. Narcissists may try to make you doubt your own perceptions or memories.
10. Dismissive Responses
Narcissists might dismiss your feelings or concerns with brief, insensitive responses.
11. Impatience
They may exhibit impatience with slow responses, expecting you to prioritize their texts.
12. Love Bombing and Devaluation
One day, they may shower you with affectionate texts (love bombing), but then quickly devalue you or become distant.
Identifying these signs can help you navigate text conversations with potential narcissists. Remember that while these signs can be red flags, it’s essential to consider the overall context and the individual’s behavior in various situations to make an accurate assessment.
