Why You Keep Attracting Narcissists (And It’s Not What You Think)

If you’ve noticed a pattern of ending up in relationships with narcissistic dynamics, it’s easy to internalize the blame. But this isn’t about being broken. It’s about familiarity. Here’s a confronting (but powerful) reframe: The same traits that hurt you in others • Manipulation • Lack of empathy • Boundary violations • Harsh criticism are often patterns you’ve been directing toward yourself. Where do you override your own needs to keep the peace? Where do you ignore your boundaries because you’re afraid of abandonment? Where are you your own harshest critic? Where do you struggle to make space for your own feelings? When your nervous system is used to self-abandonment, dynamics that mirror it can feel strangely familiar, even magnetic. The attraction isn’t about chemistry. It’s about pattern recognition. And patterns can be changed.
