1 Tactic Narcissistic Women Use To Trap Men. #narcissistic #narcissism #relationshipadvice #dating

Guys, has a woman ever used your empathy against you? Share your experiences in the comments below.

One tactic narcissistic women use to trap men is the fear-of-abandonment hook. At first, she opens up about everyone who has ever “betrayed” her—exes, friends, family, you name it. She paints a picture of being constantly wronged, constantly abandoned, and constantly hurt.

At first, you feel empathetic. You want to show her you’re different. You want to be the one who stays.
But that’s exactly the trap.

Once you start pulling back—even slightly—she flips the script:
“You’re just like everyone else.”
“See, I knew you’d leave.”
“No one ever stays for me.”

Suddenly you’re defending yourself, reassuring her, and trying to prove your loyalty. What you don’t realize is that this is emotional hijacking disguised as connection. She creates a false bond built on guilt, not love. She conditions you to stay out of fear of hurting her or being labeled the villain.

Healthy connection doesn’t require you to sacrifice your boundaries, your peace, or your emotional clarity. If you feel like you’re constantly being guilt-tripped for having needs, space, or independence, that’s not love—that’s leverage. And it’s a major red flag.

Protect your emotional space, stay grounded in your reality, and don’t let guilt manipulate you into commitment.
