You won’t believe what the narcissist does after they break up with you. Part three. #narcissism

The speaker recaps previous parts: first, narcissists attempt to love bomb and 'hoover' ex-partners back with gifts and false apologies; if unsuccessful, they'll resort to a smear campaign, lying and blaming the ex-partner to anyone who will listen.

If love bombing and smear campaigns fail, the narcissist employs a 'silent weapon.' This involves going completely silent, not out of disinterest, but to strategically plan their next move. They use this time to reflect on their past attempts and plot how to trigger their ex, knowing their weaknesses and how to re-engage them.

The narcissist then engages in a 'performance' by publicly displaying a new relationship, posting about vacations and love-bombing the new supply. This is a deliberate act designed to make the ex-partner jealous, miss them, and regret the breakup through reverse psychology, making the ex crave the narcissist’s attention.

After the performance, the narcissist makes a subtle re-engagement, such as a random text, an email, or unblocking on social media. This seemingly innocent contact is a tactic to draw the ex-partner back into their orbit, especially after the performance has made the ex-partner yearn for them or feel jealous of the new supply.

The speaker warns that returning to a narcissist is extremely dangerous. Narcissists are vindictive and will punish the ex-partner for leaving, for not being 'hoovered' back earlier, and for making them 'beg.' This results in worse treatment than before, highlighting that it's all about control, not love, with the aim to imprison the victim again.
