Narcissists often create a facade at the onset of a relationship by agreeing with their partner's values, making them feel understood. However, this fake connection unravels over time as the narcissist's true self emerges, often bringing shocks to their partner. One example describes how Taylor initially appeared grounded but later flaunted materialism, frustrating their partner Finley who had expected shared financial values. This leads to confusion and the realization that the trust built was often an illusion, serving only the narcissist's needs in the long run.
A narcissist often manipulates early perceptions by agreeing with your values to build trust, but reveals different ideals as the relationship progresses.
Narcissists can appear completely opposite to their true selves at the beginning of a relationship, using shared values to create an illusion.
The initial bond created by agreeing with your beliefs can lead to deep investment, followed quickly by manipulative behavior when truly invested.
Narcissists can leave their partners feeling confused and betrayed as they rapidly shift from appearing supportive to exhibiting self-serving behaviors.
