Why does your narcissistic ex-partner, alienated friend or family member reach out to you at random times? Why do they keep reappearing in your life, in strange ways? It is because the narcissist or other Cluster B Personality disordered-individuals will do literally anything to get you to engage with them. If you were ever a reliable source of narcissistic fuel or supply, they will tweak you, and even do things that embarrass or potentially harm them to get you to interact. Your tears. Your rage. Your begging. That is just fodder for their insatiable need for the sadistic thrill of hurting others. But the only way to get a narcissist to lose interest in you is to ignore them. Strong boundaries and no contact are your strongest protection. If we don't engage, they eventually get bored and move on to someone else.
