Is it normal behaviour for a narcissist to go away, then return and start trying to find ways of getting your attention?

[Anonymous]

Like, through sexy shirtless photos and trying to say they’re insecure people? I had a guy who claimed he was a narc do this, after he said he needed to stop contacting me and that he has low self esteem.

Yes.

Narcissistic abuse often follows the pattern of "love bombing" (this overly sweet display of love and affection), provocation (pulling back in this case), outburst, then repeat.

If you are getting the sense this dude is playing mindgames with you, break up and block.

Narcissism is not often something that can be managed.

Yep my mom dealt with a narcissist and that's exactly what he did. I would definitely stay away from him if I were you. He is only going to go ghost again once he has your attention.

The phrase "normal behaviour" and "narcissist" aren't compatible concepts. They have a pathological need for everything to be about them.

Block. Ignore. Report for stalking.

Dunno about the behavior, but others that enable it are the ones that keep those people going. In other words.. Stop feeding fuel to his fire!

Yes! You are pulling away which means they are losing their supply so they have to try and get you back.

[mandyfire98]

Absolutely, that's text book narcissist. They always come back to try and manipulate you.
