This is with an obvious narcissist. I am not a doctor, but I have had enough experience to know. I have to make a clean break from him. When he contacts me I start to feel bad abs then he slithers his way back in. This is a friend-nothing romantic, but he’s manipulative, gaslights, hurts my feelings non stop, is self absorbed & I could go on. My sibling met him and could tell immediately he had issues just from the way he talked. He starts to feel uncomfortable if people aren’t fawning over him etc. well we treat people as equals, not on a pedestal. When I tell him he hurt my feelings he will say that I seem to think I am entitled & he’s not responsible for how I feel..
