Can a Narcissist fall in Love? <\/strong>Narcissists struggle to have romantic relationships for several reasons; one of them is because they do not know how to resolve conflicts<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is normal for couples to have disagreements, but clinical worker Sharon Thomas states that narcissists believe they can do no wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are perfect, and if there are problems, the other person is to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, narcissists cannot love their partner in the traditional sense; but as you will read, they do love their partners in their own way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have been in a relationship with a narcissist<\/a> for some time, you will know that at the beginning, they showered you with undivided attention, gifts, and compliments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as time went on, things drastically changed; they withdrew, and in some cases, narcissists can become abusive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies<\/a> suggest that narcissists only engage in transactional relationships, which means unless they have something to gain, they won\u2019t stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s self-esteem, enthusiasm, or money, a narcissist will ensure they take everything they can and then move on to another relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you are falling in love with a narcissist, you are considering getting into a relationship with one, or you are concerned about the wellbeing of a friend or family member, you are interested in knowing the answer to the following question – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Can a Narcissist fall in love, and will a narcissist ever find true love?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will a Narcissist Ever Find True Love?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can a narcissist feel<\/em> love? Yes, they can, but because they don\u2019t like feeling vulnerable, they self-sabotage to protect themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with narcissists is not that they don\u2019t feel love. They don\u2019t know how to show unconditional love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a narcissist decides to separate from their partner, they do so to recover from their wounds, and after a while, they return.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

A narcissist typically shows feelings of love at the beginning of a relationship when they are not so vulnerable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This generally occurs during the love bomb stage (which I will discuss shortly).\u00a0 During this phase, their partner usually idealizes them because they appear loving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But once the cracks in the relationship start to show, the narcissist begins to feel inadequate and empty in the relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These feelings become a boundary to developing a loving and intimate connection with their partner.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
