The early stage of narcissistic relationships rarely feels toxic. It feels magical. They listen deeply. They validate everything you say. They make you feel like the most important person in the room. But this isn’t always connection. Often, it’s mirroring. They identify your unmet needs and reflect back exactly what you’ve been longing to receive. For someone who has felt unseen, unheard, or emotionally deprived… that experience can feel intoxicating. But eventually the performance stops. And that’s when the confusion begins. Understanding this pattern doesn’t just explain the pain. It helps you stop repeating it. Comment “HEAL” if you want to break the pattern of attracting this dynamic. #therapy #toxicrelationship #healing #pyschologyinsights #counselling
