5 Reasons it Doesn’t Matter if They’re Narcissist or Not
Stop tormenting yourself with the labels. Abuse is abuse!

That’s the thing; many never know if they are dating a Narcissist. Some say their partner was diagnosed, but many haven’t a clue.
You could very well just be dating an abusive asshole with little care about how they hurt people.
These are a few things that aren’t mistaken with the “label” Narcissist:
- Cheating. Cheating is cheating. It’s a horrible feeling to find out the person you love betrayed you. I believe its hands down the worst form of emotional abuse one can commit. Especially repeatedly.
- Lying: Again, it’s horrible too, also when you find out the person can’t stop. They lie about everything. Their lives, accomplishments, career, who they talk to, and who they don’t talk to. Finding out a relationship was built on lies is very painful again.
- Manipulation. This comes with lying. You begin to question everything you thought you knew was real. And everything you think you know as facts are flipped back onto you with more manipulation and sprinkled with gaslighting to keep you guessing. And if you aren’t assuming enough, they will throw in some justification and minimization to their fucked up behavior.
