💔 Narcissists Don’t Reward Loyalty — They Drain It

 

Here’s something most people don’t realize until they’ve lived it:
When you love a narcissist deeply, they don’t see your loyalty as a gift — they see it as permission.

They don’t reward devotion. They exploit it.

The more love, patience, and second chances you give, the more they take — not because they don’t understand your heart, but because they know you’ll keep offering it.

To a narcissist, loyalty isn’t something to be cherished. It’s a resource to be drained. It becomes a power source that fuels their ego and excuses their behavior. And by the time you start to notice the pattern, you’re usually too exhausted to fight it.

But here’s the truth: you can’t heal someone who profits from your pain.

The person who loves them the most will always get hurt the most — not because love is the problem, but because narcissists interpret kindness as weakness and forgiveness as approval.

So if you’ve ever loved someone who kept breaking you but convincing you it was your fault — you’re not crazy, and you’re definitely not alone.

✨ Lesson learned:
Loyalty should be mutual, not one-sided. Love shouldn’t feel like survival. And the most powerful thing you can do for yourself?
Take your loyalty back and give it to someone who values it — starting with you. 💖
