My narcissist ex whom I broke up with in July contacted me saying merry Christmas on Instagram he told me he had a new girlfriend last time we talked as I thought it isn’t appropriate to text your ex that you had a girlfriend I told him to be careful with texting me because some may find it disrespectful even if it’s a merry Christmas… to this he told me out of nowhere “ your right f*ck off I’m blocking you.. well actually whoops! That sounds mean “ I was in shock I told him he hasn’t changed and there was no reason for him to curse at me and that I was just trying to give him advice he then told me “ look I want nothing to do with you don’t think I’ll ever come back to be with you again I love my new girlfriend more than anything more than you too humble yourself” I was filled with rage so I cursed him out saying he’s an ugly narcissist who is full of it because he really is we kept going back and forth until at the end he told me to calm down and that we can talk like normal people I did to see what he does of course he acted nice and played mr nice guy by saying I shouldn’t be filled of hatred and said the things I was telling him earlier like coming him ugly when he would be “there for me” he then started giving me advice on stuff I was going through like he didn’t just curse at me earlier, I was honestly sick to the brim he knew what he was doing I blocked him at the end because I can’t take it no more. I don’t know why they do this. Am I being abused?
Ohmygosh girl, I am so sorry you had to deal with that nonsense from your abusive ex! That is totally textbook narcissistic abuse. A few things that stand out:
- The 'hoovering' by randomly messaging you on Christmas just to get a reaction. Classic narcissist move to disrupt your peace.
- Flipping the script from cursing you out to playing victim like "oh i didn't mean that" is pure manipulation.
- Comparing you to his new supply and saying he loves her more is cruel. He's trying to hurt your self-esteem.
- Pretending to be "nice" and try to give you advice shows he still wants to control the narrative.
You are absolutely right to cut contact. This guys is trash and clearly hasn't changed. Please don't trust anything he says - it's all just mind games to mess with your head. You don't deserve that abuse, girl!
Stay strong in your no contact. You've got this and better things ahead without his toxicity dragging you down. Feel free to message me if you ever need support - Survivors gotta stick together! ❤️

He’s over you possibly but doesn’t like the idea of you being over HIM. so he uses the holidays as an excuse to keep you attached and thinking, when that doesn’t work he gets upset that your becoming self aware and doesn’t wanna lose control over you. He is definitely a narcissist and is getting pleasure from getting a reaction out of you negative or positive. Stay away
I can see why you reacted like this. At 18 I would as well.
At 32 I have learnt a few things.
From reading this... Sometimes people LOVE to feel WANTED. When you get an intense reaction out of someone (good or bad) it makes you feel important because someone is getting soooo affected by you.
He has a girlfriend... he was hoping to feel wanted by you. As soon as you shut that down and was like you shouldn't be talking to me you have a girlfriend bla bla.. he was like ah yea not the reaction I want.. I wanted to feel wanted not her lecturing me... bye...
But either way he wins. He either was looking to feel wanted or to get an intense reaction from you.. which still makes him feel wanted.
Next time just IGNORE. Drives people like this CRAZY. because to ignore. to not acknowledge them. to not react = Your not wanted at all.
