9 Signs You’re Dating a Narcissist — and How to Get Out
OK, so you’re dating a narcissist — now what?
If you’re in a relationship with someone who has NPD, chances are you’ve already experienced quite a bit.
Being in a relationship with someone who’s constantly criticizing, belittling, gaslighting, and not committing to you may feel emotionally exhausting.
How to prepare for the breakup
- Constantly remind yourself you deserve better.
- Strengthen your relationships with your empathetic friends.
- Build a support network with friends and family who can help remind you what is reality.
- Urge your partner to talk with a therapist.
- See a therapist yourself.
“You cannot change a person with NPD or make them happy by loving them enough or by changing yourself to meet their whims and desires. They will never be in tune with you, never empathic to your experiences, and you will always feel empty after an interaction with them,” Grace says.
“Narcissists can’t feel fulfilled in relationships, or in any area of their lives because nothing is ever special enough for them,” she adds.
Essentially, you’ll never be enough for them, because they’re never enough for themselves.
“The best thing you can do is cut ties. Offer them no explanation. Offer no second chance. Break up with them, and offer no second, third, or fourth chance,” Grace says.
Because someone with NPD will most likely make attempts at contacting you and harassing you with calls or texts once they’ve fully processed the rejection, Krol recommends blocking them to help you stick to your decision.

Narcissistic personality disorder
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition.
It affects a person’s sense of self-esteem, identity, and how
they treat themselves and others. It’s more than arrogance or
selfishness. In the worst cases, people with NPD may struggle
with feelings of failure or rejection, putting their own health
and well-being at risk.

Narcissistic personality disorder
Overview: Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health
condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of
their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and
want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack
the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.
But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of
their self-worth and are easily upset by the slightest
criticism.

vs. Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Having narcissistic tendencies -- like bragging or making
yourself the center of attention -- are normal when they occur
occasionally. Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is
different. Symptoms are more severe, occur across different
situations and environments, and make relationships with others
challenging, if not impossible.
