Sounds like your ex friend has run out of friends and found out in reality that they can't control most people. Narcissistic or just plain abusive people usually have few friends, and the ones they do manage to make soon grow tired of their antics and run for the hills. This person wants to control their environment around them. Most of us, at one time or other, when that survival mode clicks in lean on our ability to control our environment. However, these actions in a normal person are few and far between, but with people who abuse other people or a narcissist this is their way of life. You almost have to feel sorry for them because they run in a vicious circle. Don't let your guard down and feel too sorry for them. Don't answer the phone, emails and if, by chance, you have to talk to this person make it loud and clear to them you don't want them in your life. Just tell them they have hurt you a great deal and you've had it! Walk away! If the person persists then start taping those phone calls or keeping those emails and if they threaten, call in the police. You can never be too careful. Good luck Marcy
dejah is not a mean and abusive friend
Do nothing.No more contact with that "good" friend, either.
AnswerJust quit. Don't reply to the texts that you receive and don't start any on your own. If your abusive friend can't figure out why your are no longer texting just give him or her time to think and hopefully they are smart enough to figure it out. No one needs an abusive friend and real friends will never be abusive to you.
A - How do you know they are narcissist? B - Why do you assume that the friend doesn't already know? C - Why do you think they might want to know? D - Is it any of your concern? If you can satisfactorily (and honestly) answer those questions then yes, tell the friend, otherwise leave the matter lie.
They need to satisfy their sense of control. For instance, if you "dare" have another friend (other then the narcissist) then, he will be a better friend then you are to that friend. All of it is to escalate self importance and minimize the value of your friendship. Narcissists hate authentic relationships (because they've never had one) but are very good at mimicking them for the purpose of pretense and control of one's (anyone's) emotions.
If a friend were in your situation, what would you advise?
Does she have a valid reason for wanting you to cut off contact with your friend? If she just wants to be in control you should probably get out of the relationship. If your friend is a jerk maybe you should listen to your GF.
seek help for your friend before it is to late. and you will regret it abuse can turn into murder be a friend seek help
If a spouse forbids his/her spouse from having contact with anyone, it is most likely because he/she is insecure. "Forbidding" is controlling behavior, and borderline abusive. If you are in this marriage, you should seek help. If you are a friend/relative of the controlled party, you should encourage him/her to get counselling.
Because he is a callous and uncaring narcissist. Forget about him and find a decent person.
A narcissist doesn't care about anyone other than themselves. When this person is finished with one person, that person no longer matters. They move on and it doesn't matter with whom (friend or someone you don't even know).
Talk to your friend. He may have had a really bad day. If it continues, you may have to no longer be friends.
