Best Answer

He will hurt you even more, but in a way that you can't defend yourself against. Often he does it by claiming to be 'honest', 'doing the right thing' (for himself - not you!), or because God/religion told him to. Remember, he has no real empathy for anyone other than himself.

The reason why this is so hard to accept is that often in the beginning, when he wasn't sure of you, he was so very different. He then seemed so full of concern and feeling for you. You assumed that was the 'real him' and you trusted him. But in reality he was only trying to win you over. It is called the 'Idealisation Phase'.

If he is upsetting you now, you have entered the nightmare of the 'Devaluation Phase'. Nothing you can say or do will alter that. It's best to disengage, and find friends who will nurture you.

Remember, it's not about you. The devaluation isn't about you, and sadly the idealisation wasn't about you either. He is behaving like this to satisfy his craving for attention. It is and always was just about him.

The more compassion I gave the narcissist the more he tried to hurt me why?

In my personal opinion(from experience unfortunately),narcissists equate compassion with weakness. Compassion is an enigma to a narcissist. They do feed on it however. They will push your boundries as far and as thin as you let them. They may look like adults but they are severely emotionally immature and care only for themselves.Would you date/work for/befriend "Chucky"?

Can a man be normal when sober but narcisstic when drunk or is the normal side of them just an act?

I don't think this is so! I lived with a narcissist who was also an alcoholic and I feel that the drinking just enhanced the narcisstic traits. He was still the insulting, arrogant, egotistical a--hole that he always was but even more so. The drinking seemed to slow things down but he took more time to think of something rotten to say and then would smirk because he knew he hurt your feelings and it made him feel good. No, as far as I am concerned a narcissist is not normal and can never be.
