How To Stop Attracting Narcissists
What to look out for in order not to repeat the same mistakes
You recently came out of a relationship with an abusive narcissist, you’ve taken some time and feel ready to re-enter the dating pool.
After what you’ve been through, you believe you’ve learned your lesson—the hard way—and one thing is for certain: You’re never going to make the same mistake again. No more toxic egomaniacs or ‘narcs’ for you!
Things seem to be going well at first; you’re chatting with people and maybe even going on dates. You meet and connect with someone who captivates and excites you and decide to give it a real shot.
Then, suddenly, the red flags appear: You’ve seen this before. You recognize this feeling. This person might be completely different from your ex, but something is familiar still. What’s happening?
If you’ve been close with a narcissist once, chances are you’ll end up attracting more, or others with similar toxic traits. If you’re lucky, you might realize quickly enough to get out unharmed. Other times, you may not see it until you’re back on the deep end, yet again.
You start to sound like a broken record to your friends: Another narcissist? Are you sure you’re not the problem?
