The narcissist

The narcissist does not love you. You don't even love the narcissist, because the person you fell in love with (or want to love, if the narcissistic personality in your life is a parent, friend, or sibling) does not exist. The person you fell in love with was a mask. It was a reflection of what you wanted and what you are. You essentially fell in love with yourself, because the narcissist was only reflecting your own wants and good qualities back to you in order to snare you. The real person is what is described here: a vicious, abusive, empty shell that needs constant sustenance, support, and domination to exist.
