Number 3: You put others’ needs before your own.

Narcissists are often drawn to naturally selfless and giving people because these qualities make it easier for them to manipulate their victims into putting them first. A narcissist’s goal is to always be the center of attention, as long as you’re willing to put their needs above yours, they’ll be happy. They’ll never ask if there’s anything that you need because they already know that your answer would be No.

Number 4: You’re willing to do anything for them.

If you have a hard time saying no, you may be attracting narcissists. Narcissists are attracted to people who do what they want them to do, and they’ll do whatever it takes to get that. Narcissists are attracted to people who are willing to do things for them, whether or not those things are reasonable. You don’t ask questions or challenge the narcissist’s behavior, so they feel like they can manipulate you into doing whatever they want.

It’s important to remember that narcissists don’t care about what you want or need; they only care about themselves. So, if they are constantly asking you for favors and always wanting things from you, take a step back and ask yourself, is this person taking advantage of me? Do I feel resentful when I do these things? Is this relationship healthy? If the answer is no, it might be time to re-evaluate your relationship.

Number 5: You lack boundaries.

Boundaries are an important part of any healthy relationship, they help us know where we end, and another person begins. Without them, we find ourselves entangled in relationships with people who aren’t good for us. Suppose you’re so used to having people walk all over you, that you don’t even notice them doing it. In that case, you possibly lack boundaries and respect within yourself.

A narcissist will never respect you if you don’t respect yourself first. They take all they can get from you while they’re there. Suppose you’re willing to put up with emotional abuse, manipulation, and gaslighting to keep the peace or feel loved by someone else, in that case, you’re attracting narcissists like moths to a flame.
