Narcissists Stops Talking to You For One of Three reasons

There are many reasons people may stop talking to someone. The reasons could vary from lack of respect to a basic lack of similar interest. There are a variety of reasons. For me to cut someone completely out of my life, they have to do something pretty serious. Other than your local troll on other writing platforms, pushing me to that point is challenging.
The odd thing with a Narcissist is the silence doesn’t always last; they can reappear months or even years later as if nothing happened.
