Sign 4: Constant Comparison and Competition
Number four, they’re always comparing and competing, never satisfied in their own domain. Comparison is the womb of spiritual perversion. The eyes of a narcissist are always roaming the room: Who’s prettier? Who’s more prosperous? Who’s receiving more praise? They’re constantly measuring life, and that attitude contaminates everything holy. They will restrict your victories, steal your ideas and pass them off as their own, and turn healing into competition.
This does not just sabotage your ego; it consumes your soul. Because when you invest yourself in a person who is constantly silent competition with you, your energy gets distorted. You shrink and doubt yourself. You forget the divinity of your journey. That is soul confusion, and it’s catching.
Sign 5: Demanding Explanations
Number five, they demand explanations from all but never provide any of their own. One of the most draining spiritual games that narcissists engage in is incessant demanding of explanation but never providing anything themselves. You’re owing them explanation, reasons, and closure, but when it’s time for them to explain their cruelty, lying, or betrayal nothing. This one-way demand for emotional labor is spiritually bankrupt.
It makes every exchange into a courtroom. You are under trial at all times, and they are taking ongoing judgment. Your tranquility becomes a performance, and honesty is a defense. But the real harm occurs internally. You start believing that justifying yourself is how you make it. You start justifying yourself too much just to be worthy of being heard. That is spiritual erosion.
Sign 6: Sucking Peace and Covering Up with Connection
Six, they suck peace out of you with them and top it with connection. You’ve been there, haven’t you? Heaviness after seeing him, fog-brain after visiting, a strange feeling of being further away from yourself. Narcissists make you connected with them but take you miles away from your own self. They say it’s passion and bonding, but really, it’s spiritual parasitism.
They speak all the time but do not listen. They require emotional labor but never give peace as a form of reciprocity. And yet, you’re led to believe it’s intimacy. But true intimacy makes you feel seen, not drained. If someone leaves you spiritually drained after each encounter, that is not love; that is spiritual pollution.
