Recognizing Neglect
Emotional Neglect
Narcissists are often emotionally unavailable and can be dismissive of their partner’s feelings. They may belittle or minimize your emotions, making you feel unimportant.
Lack of Empathy
A classic trait of narcissism is a lack of empathy. Narcissists find it challenging to understand and connect with their partner’s emotional needs, leaving them feeling neglected and unheard.
Self-Centeredness
Narcissists are primarily concerned with their own needs and desires, which can result in neglecting their partner’s emotional and physical well-being. They may disregard your concerns and prioritize their agenda.
Manipulative Behavior
Narcissists may use manipulation to control their partner’s emotions and actions. This manipulation can lead to feelings of neglect and isolation, as the narcissist aims to maintain power and control in the relationship.
