Self-care is important. Without making time to fulfill our own needs, we begin to deteriorate mentally and physically. This is precisely why narcissists try to prevent their victims from having enough time or energy to care for themselves. When you have a relationship with a narcissist, whether theyre a relative, friend or significant other, you will be expected to cater to them constantly, no matter what. They expect you to go above and beyond for them, until youre so worn out and stressed that you cant properly care for yourself or take care of your own issues and responsibilities. They do this so that when you eventually have to draw the line and start taking care of yourself, they can make you feel guilty; like youre the most selfish, lazy and ungrateful person who has ever roamed the planet. Then they will provoke you until they get a good reaction out of you, which they will then use as evidence of your mental instability, selfishness, and personal issues, thus turning themselves into the victim and you into the villain in the eyes of everyone else. And, of course, at this point you will be so exhausted and angry that it will be hard to defend yourself without actually seeming like a crazy person. All the while the narcissist will be calmly telling everyone how ungrateful and crazy you are while pretending they have no clue as to why youre so irrationally upset. CUT TIES with people like this. Anyone who tortures you for setting boundaries and trying to care for yourself is someone you need to stay away from, no matter who they are. Take care of yourself! I cannot stress this enough.
