Reason number 1: They are unable to manipulate and control you.
Meaning that you are either on to them, you openly challenge or criticize them or their lies and manipulations are not having the desired effect. You are not giving them the responses or reactions that they want. And when a Narcissist cannot have their way with you, they would prefer to step away from that relationship.
Because it is not good for their fragile ego to put up with someone who they cannot manipulate or control, or for someone who they think is making life difficult for them. In the mind of the Narcissist, others should exist to serve them and entertain them not challenge them or upset them. So, the Narcissist will be looking for an escape.
They need that person or those groups of people who would tell the Narcissist want they want to hear and above all be the type of people who they can manipulate and control. This time away surrounded by others who feed into their delusions allows them the opportunity they need to convince themselves that they are not the issue but you.
You are the difficult or problematic one who needs to lighten up. Control is everything to the Narcissist so they cannot endure for lengthy periods someone who is not under their control. And it will only be a matter of time before they disappear for good or discard the person who is limiting their control.
