The empathetic traits of your that cause you to become entangled every time we narcissists deploy the Evasion Tactics, of which eight are now detailed.
The sudden silences. The inability to say sorry. The never-ending game of blame and accusation. The argument over nothing. Why does a narcissist do all of this?

The temptation to give us a piece of your mind is vast and overwhelming but if done in the usual emotional fashion of the typical empathic individual you are just giving us more of what we want, failing to hurt us and extending your own Narcissistic entanglement with us.
You can understand hoovering to start the relationship again. You can understand lashing out at you and being nasty because hey, after all we are Grade A Bastards aren’t we?
