Tell the High Level Narcissist – “I Can't Be Played.”
Being “played” means exploited by someone who has no intention of forming a real realtionship with you. The high level narcissists makes no commitments, is highly controlling and you become expendable.
You were a true believer in the limitless power of the high level narcissist. You believed his/her pledge to bind up the psychological wounds of your childhood nightmare. This was your rescue, your salvation you told yourself.
Seeking temporary pleasure of elation, acting out behaviors, you fell hard for the narcissist’s artfully wrapped promises, the ancient tale of romantic triumph, the flying carpet of self indulgence.
You rose higher and higher in the thrall of the high level narcissist’s hypnotic potion that drove you to fateful distractions: detours and switchbacks leading to endless circles of vapid nowheres. You were lost to yourself countless times, feeling the painful weariness, thinking you could not move forward another step.
Now you see through the delusions, demands, denials and dark secrets of the high level narcissist.
You stand awakened. Your psychological and emotional stamina hold you steady and true. You tell the high level narcissist with your actions, thoughts, creativity, psychological groundedness, spiritual clarity: “I Can’t Be Played.”
