THE TEN THINGS A NARCISSIST CAN NEVER GIVE YOU.

Dealing with a narcissist can be an emotionally draining and challenging experience. While they may appear to offer fleeting moments of charm and kindness, the reality is that narcissists are unable to provide genuine, meaningful connections
Narcissists take more than they will ever give you. Sure, there are good times with narcissists, but the bad outweighs the good. And eventually, we realize narcissists are only kind when they want something in return. Some narcissists use trinkets like money and gifts to lure people into their web of lies and deceit or to manipulate them into doing or giving them something.
The good stuff narcissists give people usually has some sort of monetary value attached to it. But the things that matter the most in this life are what they lack.
So, today I have 10 things that a narcissist can never give you. And it does not matter what type of relationship you have with them, these things will always be missing.
1. Love.
The first thing narcissists cannot give you is love. Narcissists are not capable of loving anyone. They can tell you they love you. They can do things to try and declare love for you, but in reality, there is no love. They can lust after you. They can desire to own you and control you, but they do not love you. But at the end of the day, narcissists cannot give what they do not have, and love is one of them.
2. Honesty.
The second thing narcissists cannot give you is honesty. A narcissist’s life is built on lies. They are not who they say they are. They deceive people into having relationships with them by pretending to be someone they are not. They tell lies to ruin the reputation of others. They lie about important things. They lie about petty things. They lie to you for the fun of it. But above all, they lie to themselves. And if they cannot be true to themselves, how can they be true to you?
3. Sincere apology.
The third thing narcissists cannot give you is a sincere apology. Narcissists are never wrong, and they never take accountability for their bad actions. They always choose to find a way to deny or justify what they do. No apology is ideal for the narcissist. But even when they do apologize to appease someone, it is not coming from a place of sincerity. They are apologizing just to move things…
