One of the biggest red flags in dating is that of idealization.
I shouldve known better.Oh honey, you were deceived.
Pack your stuff and get out.

One of the biggest red flags in dating is that of idealization.
Its not that theyre lying: they trulybelieveyou are perfect.
They see no flaws in your physical appearance, your character, your dreams or aspirations.
You are everything they hoped their significant other would be and more.
That is, until youre not anymore.
Over time, their rose-colored vision will fade, and they will start to be disillusioned with your humanness.
They will begin to criticize everything.
Nothing will be enough for them.
Narcissists and sociopaths often prey on empaths.
By gaining your sympathy and amazement, they gauge how naive and innocent you are.
Nothing is quite as disturbing as a person who purports that all their exes werecrazy.
Oh, dear, sweet narcissist.
Nobody cares like you think they do.
They live for validation, and strive to prove themselves at every turn.
Their fragile egos cannot handle any threat of embarrassmentor heaven forbid, the terror of perceived inadequacy.
Its us against the world.
Run, run, run, run!
The narcissist is instinctively distrustful of others.
They cannot feel that the world is a supportive, connected place.
For them, life is oozing with cheats, liars, and competitors.
The narcissist will think this statement is flattering.
Remember: youre not Blaire Waldorf, and theyre not Chuck Bass.
If their life is all one giant scheme, theyre bad news.
