Sign 2: Boundary Violations
Number two, they cross boundaries as if it is their right. Spiritual boundaries are spiritual agreements. They respect the self and contain the energy we are supposed to guard. Without boundaries, the soul is used as a garbage dump for other individuals’ rubbish. To a narcissist, however, your boundaries are voluntary suggestions at best. Whenever you establish a boundary with them, their intent is to dismantle and destroy it.
Whenever they push against your “no,” dismiss your unease, or compromise your emotional boundaries, they’re not only dishonoring you; they’re actually dishonoring the holiness within you. Boundaries are spiritual hygiene. They keep what’s for you distinct from what’s to be outside of you. But narcissists see boundaries as cages they need to escape or walls that they need to bring crashing down so they can reassert control.
They will push and probe. They will drive you crazy and tell you that you’re the issue, like everything else, and they will do so more viciously when you need time. Each time they succeed, they poison your soul with shame, doubt, and self-traitorship.
Sign 3: Oversharing for Control
Number three, they overshare in order to control, not connect. Being open and being performative are two different things. Narcissists overshare their sob story, confession, or trauma in order to purchase loyalty, not intimacy. They use their vulnerability as a sword so you drop your guard, so you owe them and lower your standards. None of it, however, is authentic or sacred; it’s all choreographed. This. type of sharing is spiritually. dishonest.
It’s so shallowness but so arrogance. It invites you into their mess but it looks like it’s opening up. They never reveal enough detail to bring sympathy but never enough realness to bring transformation. As soon as they enter your life with all the baggage and drama you never asked for, they pretend like they don’t know what’s happening. The truth is, what they share isn’t meant to heal you; it is meant to hook you.
