Do Narcissists Think About You During No Contact?
No matter what, narcissists are still human. So, if a narcissist doesn’t expect you to be strong, doesn’t think you’ll stand up for yourself, and believes you’ll simply accept their abuse, then yes—they will think about you, even if you’re in No Contact.
But here’s the thing: that shouldn’t bother you. You’ve finally chosen yourself, and they can think whatever they want. By avoiding any contact, you strengthen yourself, reinforce your ability to stay away from them, and ensure they never have any influence over you again. This is how you move from being a survivor to someone who rises above—a stronger, more advanced version of yourself.
From the narcissist’s perspective, yes, you cross their mind. You spent time together, shared a part of your life, maybe even built a life together. So yes, they think about you. They might even miss you. They could still be obsessed with you. They may try to reconnect by reaching out to your friends or family. Some might even use fake phone numbers just to check in on your life.
Many people who have dealt with narcissists want to feel like they mattered to them. Well, chances are—you did. But does that mean you should go back? Absolutely not. That’s not the sign you should be looking for to give that toxic person another chance. If you’re even considering returning to that relationship, this is not the sign you need.
Just because they think about you when you’re in No Contact doesn’t mean you should reach out. Even if they miss you, that doesn’t mean you should reconnect. If you don’t cut contact, the narcissist assumes you’re okay with everything they did to you.
They believe you’ve forgiven them. They assume you can handle everything they put you through. And why wouldn’t they? Why wouldn’t they think you’re fine with it if you keep going back, if you keep trying to reach out? If you’re still trying to communicate, they assume you just needed time to realize that you’re willing to tolerate their abuse again.
Stay strong. Stay No Contact. Choose yourself.
