THE ONE QUALITY A NARCISSIST CAN'T ACCEPT

If you’ve spent any significant time with a narcissist, you know they have a strong need to maintain control over you. It’s as if they’ve already decided how you’re supposed to think, feel, behave, and respond. They rarely welcome input from you because they believe they already know everything they need to know. This sense of superiority and dominance robs you of your ability to be yourself.
Have you ever experienced that? The longer you stay in such a situation, the more it can feel like constant brainwashing. You’re repeatedly told you’re inadequate, you didn’t do something right, or that everything has to be filtered through them.

Today, I want to discuss one primary quality in relationships that a narcissist absolutely cannot accept.
Now, let’s explore the one thing a narcissist cannot handle:

✓The Truth About Human Nature

The truth is, you have a free will—you are free. This is a concept the narcissist doesn’t want you to know or remember. They aim to contain you, keeping you confined in a metaphorical cage. If you express independent thoughts or preferences that don’t align with theirs, they react as though you’ve broken the rules. To them, you’re not supposed to think that way. They ignore the fact that you are free to make your own decisions.
