There is a particularly lethal mix that affects two types of people: women empathic and manipulative and narcissistic men.

Any man who demands more than he gives is a man to be kept away from.

Initially the narcissist is an attentive man, available, he fills you with compliments and reserves you continuous kindness, but this is only an initial phase of conquest, after which he will reveal his true nature. And here begins the criticisms, the emotional blackmail, the passive-aggressive attitudes that will lead you to feel guilty and to satisfy all the requests made by him. But here's a secret: you will never be able to satisfy them, because the narcissistic man is not at peace with himself and will continue to make you suffer by making you believe you are not up to par. Well, even if you have been manipulated by this predator of kindness, you can always realize it and say enough.

But beware: the problem is not you, although they try to make you think this. It is your partner who is unable to live a peaceful and stable relationship and to establish a healthy relationship that is based on mutual understanding and respect.

Toxic personalities: how to get out of a wrong story

When dating a man, ask yourself first if you are experiencing a situation of serenity and if you are able to express yourself freely without fear of annoying or not indulging the wishes of others. This is the first rule to follow in order not to set the relationship on wrong premises and give rise to future misunderstandings, very avoidable.

Do not allow your partner to make you feel guilty if you do not please him in everything. Compromises must be acceptable and, above all, come from both sides.

Don't accept any kind of criticism. Often, in fact, narcissistic men give bad treatment to the woman they say they love only because they cannot accept themselves, by doing so, they delude themselves into having power, silencing demons and unresolved situations within them. Put a brake! If they respond badly to you, if they turn to you disrespectfully, if they constantly criticize you or even push themselves into physical as well as verbal assaults, stop this situation immediately. Remember your intelligence and tell yourself that you deserve more. The only solution with a man who reserves this type of treatment for you is escape. You can turn to a specialist to help you regain yourself and your self-esteem, the first step to break away from toxic relationships and regain serenity.

Don't be afraid to be alone. The ability to lovingly dedicate yourself to yourself will help you attract the relationships and men you deserve. Only by loving and valuing yourself will you be able to reach a full life and live a story of peaceful love. After all, how can you love someone if you don't love yourself first?

Do not be overly self-critical: you are wrong, and this is precisely what helps us to grow and become more solid and strong. Every experience, especially the most painful ones, teaches something about oneself and about life. Be smart to understand these teachings and learn from mistakes.

Dedicate yourself and the things you love. Don't change for anyone or sacrifice parts of yourself to make others love you. Only those who truly understand you are worthy of your love and your time. Be more selective and self-confident.

In conclusion, remember that any love story that makes you unhappy or makes you feel inadequate is a trap. You can get out of it, as long as you pick yourself up and go on a better path that will bring you what you want.
