If you are in a relationship with a possessive narcissist, you may feel like you are walking on eggshells all the time.

You may also feel trapped, suffocated, and controlled. Possessive narcissists are dangerous people to be around, and they can cause untold damage to their victims if left unchecked.

In this blog post, I will discuss what is a possessive narcissist, the signs of a possessive narcissist and how to spot and deal with a narcissist in your life.

What is a possessive Narcissist?

A possessive narcissist is a type of narcissist that feels deeply threatened by any perceived threat to their relationship with their partner.

They will often go to great lengths to control their partner and keep them close, often using manipulation and coercion.

The possessive narcissists will often be very demanding and possessive of their partner’s time and attention and may become enraged if they feel ignored or neglected.

Signs of a possessive narcissist

Here are signs to spot a possessive narcissist in your life:

1. Calling or texting you excessively

One of the key signs that you are in a relationship with a possessive narcissist is that they regularly check in with you excessively by calling or texting.

This is often done under the guise of care and concern, but it is really a way for them to maintain control over you and keep tabs on your whereabouts.

2. Possessive narcissists are jealous

A possessive narcissist is someone who is excessively jealous and possessive of their partner. They may try to control who their partner spends time with, what they do, and how they dress.

They may also be very critical of their partner and try to undermine their self-confidence.

3. Possessive narcissists try to micromanage your life

Narcissists are often possessive of the people in their lives. If you’re in a relationship with a narcissist, you may find that they try to control every aspect of your life.

They may want to know where you are at all times, who you’re with, and what you’re doing. They may try to control your appearance, who you talk to, and how you spend your time.

If you try to assert your independence or make decisions without their approval, they may become angry or violent.

4. Possessive narcissists have a deep-seated fear of being abandoned

The reason for this behavior is that deep down, the possessive narcissist has a deep-seated fear of being abandoned. This fear often stems from early childhood experiences, such as being rejected by a parent or caregiver.

As a result, the possessive narcissist is constantly seeking validation and reassurance that they are loved and desired.

5. They regularly make comments about how much they’ve done for you or how much they’ve sacrificed for you.

One of the ways in which possessive narcissists try to control their partners is by making constant comments about how much they’ve done for them or how much they’ve sacrificed.

This is often done in an attempt to make the victim feel indebted to them and more likely to stay in the relationship.

6. Possessive Narcissists try to get access to your social media accounts

If you’ve ever had a partner who was constantly asking for your passwords or trying to snoop through your phone, you may have been dealing with a possessive narcissist.

This type of personality is defined by a need for control and deep insecurity. As a result, they feel the need to constantly check up on their partner to make sure they are being faithful.

While this behavior may seem flattering at first, it can quickly become suffocating by fear and mistrust.

How does possessive narcissism affect relationships?

Possessive narcissism can be very damaging to relationships. For the victim, it can lead to emotional and mental abuse, as well as a sense of isolation and helplessness.

The narcissist will often use threats and intimidation to control their partner and may resort to physical violence if they feel threatened or challenged.

The possessive narcissist’s need for control can be very damaging to the overall health of the relationship. They often try to micromanage their partner’s life, which can lead to feelings of resentment and frustration.

The possessive narcissist’s fear of being abandoned can also be destructive, as it often leads to possessive and controlling behaviors.

What can you do if you’re in a relationship with a possessive narcissist?

If you are in a relationship with a possessive narcissist, there are a few things that you can do to help manage the situation.

First, it is important to set boundaries and limits on what the narcissist can and cannot control. You need to be assertive and make it clear that you are not going to put up with their possessive and controlling behavior.

Secondly, you need to keep your own ego in check. Narcissists can sense vulnerability, so do not give them any reason to think that they can exploit or manipulate you.

Finally, you should seek professional help. A therapist can provide you with tools and strategies to deal with the narcissist’s behavior and help you maintain your sanity during the relationship.

Last words

If you have a possessive narcissist in your life, it’s important to know how to spot the signs and deal with them effectively. By understanding their behavior and what motivates them, you can protect yourself from further harm and take back control of your life.
