Have you ever wondered, why narcissist rush relationships?
They rush because they are unaware of what they are doing. They truly believe they found “the one.”
In their own way, they do love you. They see you as a perfect person, no flaws, no defects just as we all do in the “honey moon” phase of relationships.
Their problem is, the “honey moon” eventually ends and so does the adoration of the perfect person the narcissist sees themselves as, “through” you.
So, they continually rush into relationships chasing the perfect image of themselves that you reflect back on to them in the beginning. But as life has it. No one is perfect. People change, their guard goes down a little, and become more transparent.
The end result?
They devalue you, and they take off on their next sexescapade. In search of the perfect self, by the reflection of a partner, which doesn’t exist.
They spend their whole life running in circles living through mirrors of everyone else avoiding the true problem, the reflection.
Something they spend their whole life running from, the reflection.
