Silence and no contact are your most powerful tools against a narcissist. One day, through your silence and by blocking them out, you will win. It doesn’t matter whether you left the narcissist or they left you. It doesn’t matter how dramatic the breakup was. What matters is that you now know who you're dealing with—and that with someone like this, no one ever truly wins.
With a narcissist, you can only lose—because the narcissist always plays to win. But your greatest victory after a breakup isn’t revenge or closure. It’s this: silence. You were never a partner to the narcissist—you were a source of supply. You believed you were in a real relationship, so you gave your all. But they used it. They used you.
A narcissist lives for your reaction—positive or negative. It doesn’t matter. Every time you respond, they feel powerful, alive, in control. And that control is what they crave most. Power equals victory in their world. That’s why they always seem to come out on top—until you stop reacting.
Your reactions are their oxygen. When you cut off your emotional responses, they lose their grip. A narcissist only has power as long as you're unaware of what they are. Once you understand who they really are, you can start playing by different rules—their own tactics turned against them.
And the golden rule is: no reaction.
Silence is the ultimate boundary. If they can’t provoke you, they can’t feed off you. If you must communicate, keep it minimal—dry, brief, emotionless. Don’t share your thoughts, dreams, fears, or plans. You owe them nothing. They never wanted the best for you—only what served them. You were a tool to boost their fragile ego.
You’ve spent enough of your energy on the narcissist. Now it’s time to reinvest that energy in yourself.
Every relationship with a narcissist is doomed to fail sooner or later. Your silence strips them of the attention they crave and severely limits their control. They'll feel that shift immediately—and they won’t like it. They’ll push harder, trying to provoke you.
Don’t let them.
No reaction is the clearest message: You’re done. You won’t tolerate the manipulation anymore. You’re reclaiming your peace.
