5 Weird Texting Habits of a Narcissist Revealed 

Master Coparenting with a Narcissist: www.emotionalabuserecovery.com/specialoffer

Plus they ignore your texts after they start ( create) chaos. Or only reply to any unimportant trivia but ignore any important questions. They live to create instability. They hate peace.

"I see that you're trying to do something important, so I manufactured an emergency to get your attention" ^ this ^

I once was head over heels for a guy; one day after months I realized he never once asked me, “how are you doing”. Not a single time. It was always about him

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Sister would send long texts about her health issues but when i mention mine,she wants to get off the phone

Another annoying tactic they use is always starting in the middle of a "story". Using names of people you've never heard of. Telling the end of a story without a beginning. When you ask for clarity, you get treated like an idiot who can't comprehend the simplest things. They do this deliberately for exactly that purpose: constantly setting up their victims for further abuse, gaslighting, and crazy-making.

Texted;I love you He texted back; I love me too! This was so true,but at that time I didn't know, I was confused,thought he made an error! Thank God it ended!

My blood was boiling watching this. It's a true eye-opener, especially the part about not reading the entire text but only look for things to use against you. I think I've had an experience like that recently.

From my experience, there are nothing in their calls actually except tantrum, blaming, shaming, passive attack, gash lighting and many more. It’s disgusting 🤮🤮🤮

Don’t forget this one 🙄 This one comes when you overreact from their little mind games and then apologize, Oh how bout 🙋🏻 This one comes whenever they are bored! “Good morning” texts everyday have become a red flag for me as well. It’s almost as if they want to be in your head first thing every morning to steal your day! You know, I have actually stopped using emojis in my texting because of this batten nonesense and I’m about to take the whole keyboard off my phone!

My ex malignant narcissistic possesed with evil spirits did that to me. I blocked him! 😅 Love you, Danish! You are amazing ❤

This is exactly why I don't text. It's just a game for most people.

Texting has become the best friend of narcs. I am a single adult woman who refuses to monitor your phone, your texts, or email, etc. Too many liars, cheaters, scammers. Your text will mostly be criticized as too long, too short, ignored, receive no response, misconstrued, used by cowards to cancel meetings at the last second, or straight out lie bcs you cant see their face or hear their voice. I pay no attention to emojis unless you are under 12 yrs old. Texting encourages inability to use proper grammar, spelling, punctuation or i telligent conversational skills.

I blocked my narcissist father for a while, then thought it was my mom so I started talking to him again briefly. He texted with this weird air of self-pity and I picked up right away he was parentifying me because he was always showing off what he was doing, going on vacations, visiting relatives, doing things with the kids, etc, and when I told him about my life, he literally said “lol, I have no response.” Really, dad? No response for your oldest son telling you about his affairs in life? I thought he was just being an awkward old guy in his 50s who didn’t know text lingo, but looking back he was actually trying to make me jealous and when I excitedly shared about my life, had 0 hesitation to dismiss me completely. Don’t let their “poor me” demeanor fool you! If they make you feel like you are less valuable, cut them out!

Other text uses: - Start a conversation with “good morning”, then, no more messages - Ignore your questions, answer with other question not related - answer with “????”, making you ask for more - Answer with simple words, measuring you interest to keep the conversation

I've experienced each one of these personally and it breaks my heart every time I think of it. No one deserves to be treated so poorly.

Holy crap. I thought I was getting better… then I woke up re experiencing finding out I was being cheated on the whole entire relationship. I’m so mad I’m shaking

My narc spouse never texted me back until his break when he was at work, but he texted his married adultery partner 60+ times a day while delivering mail. Then he told me I was just jealous. It's so deranged that it's almost funny.

My main experience texting a narcissist is lack of response. If they want you to do something or need a response they will spam you with calls or messages 😂 their responses are almost always limited or one word respones.

And #6: they will erase the text history with their new supply, just in case...

I don't know if it is part of it. My Narcissist would text me a lot during my working hours and I would try to answer but of course, I was also working and this would cause a lot of stress, I would lose concentration and by the moment the conversation was over. I was the bad guy.

Cryptic messages with incomplete sentences, misspelled words and nonsensical language was my experience with a narcissistic until I was "allowed" to go no contact when I finally pushed back on the bullshit, my narcissist finally stopped calling to unload on me.

my used to tell me he couldnt answer because he was working. Yet he would answer anyone else at anytime. also he would say he couldnt use the phone he was driving, yet ive seen him driving and using his phone all the time.

The best thing about a text is you can delete it without reading it an/or turn off your phone if they're really annoying. I do both because I've been in NO CONTACT mode for three years and my narc still tests me every few months. I refuse to let the devil back in my life.

Thank you Danish for opening up over and over again about your horrible childhood and also thanks to all the other survivors who share their expiriences with narcs. You are truly helping me to understand what happened to me, I feel seen, understood and not so terrible lonely anymore and I really love the community here, you are making my life so much richer and better and I love you all ❤ Consentual hugs to everyone who wants and needs it right now, you are awesome my fellow survivors ❤❤❤

I really liked the cat meaowing at " they need your attention rigth now." 6:07 time index.😊

Mine sent me a text telling me our dogs were barking their heads off and had woken him up and i must come home to settle them. At the time i was sitting at home drinking a hot chocolate with my dogs peacefully at my feet. When i questioned him in the morning he said there were more important things to talk about.

Omg I get the “respond almost immediately” and if I don’t it’s “are you there?” If I say I’m in the middle of something they keep texting. And the use of emojis! Yes! Ugh also, she always always HAS to have the last word. If I text something back, she will HAVE to text me something. She will continue this until I stop texting back to make sure she has the last word. So frustrating!

I just remembered the innumerable emojis. I always found them so creepy.All of them! Chilly feeling...I hesitated to open my messages.

I can't believe I have been experiencing this type of behavior from men who claim to like me or care about me a lot. It got to the point that when I looked at my cellphone, I would suddenly become very anxious, and now I know why. I had deep abandonment wounds from my son's father who brutal discarded me like a piece of trash and would ghost me for weeks and months at a time with no explanation. Recently I went very low contact until I can safely go no contact with a guy that exhibits covert narcissistic behavior. He was supposed to take me out on a date when I noticed it was running late I called, and my call was sent to voicemail again and again for hours. After staying awake all night and calling every hour because I thought something happened to him he answered and accused me of standing him up. That's why these days I just want to be alone after all that I have been through. Thank you sooooo much for discussing this! 🙏

i intentionally made you angry because i wanted to talk

My former Husband who I help look after, texts using a public call box, so the person he's targeting can't call him, or text him back. He's an expert wordsmith, and he loves to send his poisonous letters, cards, emails and texts. Meanwhile he never tells people his address, he has no landline, mobile or Computer with an internet connection. He uses internet Cafe's. He loves to be elusive, strike someone with words, then he's gone, and they can't reply. He loves the power and control this gives him. Also, it gives him time while his victim cools down. He's such a coward.

Yes instant reply in ordered , if you dont reply they delete them, rage when you finnaly repy or sarcasm/more rage reply etc etc etc,,, your message can take 4,6,8,10 hours to read or the next day ( I was busy) blah blah blah if at all, the solucion is dont message them unless critical, all 100% correct Danish❤

He's always known that I control my phone! He gets all mad, I ignore him longer! Now that he's an annoying roommate, half the time I don't acknowledge he texted/called my phone.

I have come through all of this ‘communication’. The personal explanations from my heart. My result: ‘No, you’re wrong.’ At least a dozen times. Clarity comes crashing in intermittently when I watch and listen to you Danish. You have helped 🙏 and have experienced a slightly different abuse that I have. I know and understand. ❤

This is SO validating. Thank you 🙏🏻

My narcisist brother is always on his phone chatting with someone, he gets angry after chatting and becomes somewhat violent or sleepy

He cries i never call him. So i call him and he yells- im busy i dont have time to talk to you!! Then i stop calling him and he cries i never call him. He tells everyone i dont love him because i dont call him.

Yes!! They can’t be bothered reading and in my experience the narcissist I was with always communicated with emojis! I used to find it juvenile.

❤always bringing the nuggets of gold, Danish!

My ex was violent, hurt the kids & kidnapped them. I wish I had your coparenting with a narcissist back then. I had to divorce and take sole custody in order to protect them. Been over 2 years since she disappeared with them for 8 months, I’ve had the kids all the time for 1 1/2 years now still struggling with the ptsd. But it weighs on my heart all the time that my kids are already hindered from losing their mom permanently, but also weighs on me for my ex because we trauma bonded (I didn’t realize that at the time) I was recovered from an abusive upbringing and I she was 30 years old still trapped at her parents farm where very extreme abuse went on. I tried to walk her through the healing, offered to get her professional help but she declined it. She screwed up big but I don’t judge her, I feel horrible for her. Love your videos, I’ve learned a lot from them. Always very organized and well explained using minimal words. Thank u for your content

Definitely true all the points mentioned & they love to use video calls also to either show their locations like they are doing great things or if they’re wanting attention they’ll call while laying in bed sick & exaggerated coughing or sniffing etc. & they make sure you see them sick, they never have limits to the games they play using the phone, it’s just another tool in their world to utilize to gaslight people.

Can i add another weird texting behaviour? A former 'friend' used to text me or leave comments on my social media posts saying something like "you know that what I say is always sincere and well-meaning." She honestly believed that she was sincere, but sadly for her, I didn't believe her. In fact, the truth was quite the opposite. She is an uncaring, insensitive person wanting control of me. She didn't get it.

If I ever said anything in reaction to my narcissist ex, he would immediately say that I was verbally abusive to him or that I was abusing him in some way when I was just trying to have normal conversation.

Wow! Your videos have helped me so much!! I’ve experienced everything you say from a narcissist driving instructor I had 😫Since watching your videos, I’ve cancelled further lessons with him. He literally made the same excuse that his spouse was in the hospital when he didn’t come to pick me up for lessons and it’s become a trend with him. I’m really glad I came across your videos, saving me so much money.

My "newly x-narc is a 3 P's,porn,phone,pot!" Are his addictions!

Perfect description 👍🏻

Appreciate your input Danish 💙❤️ very helpful for healing 😊❤️💙

He does that to me but when I do it back it's all me. Trauma bond

I have experienced this. The narc will text me to see if am around but if I tried to have an actual conversation they would completely avoid me. The narc would act as if they are bored and say they aren’t in mood for a conversation. I am sure the narc sends a text just to get a reaction. The narc will also ignore you once you respond so they can make you feel on the edge. It’s draining and frustrating.

You are spot on with your videos ....I so appreciate all the info. Thx keep them coming.

Thank you so much. Bless people like you who could understand and deliver the pattern of these toxic people. Let's healing since we're not confused anymore. ❤❤❤

Amazing. Thank you. You perfectly described his way of communication and treatment via SMS.

Thanks Danish for helping to recognise their patterns 🙏

I have experienced that texting with my mother and a friend who when I told them I was busy they went - no, you are not. You never do anything of importance. Pick up when we call

I’ve had number five happen to me, and i had a Narcissist also send me texts that were meant for another girl but he “accidentally “ sent it to me, the first time I was very shocked and hurt, but after the second, 3rd, 4th, 5th and probably up to the 10th time this happened approximately I realized this was a toxic pattern of behavior, I tried to ask him once why he was doing that and I couldn’t even get him to look me in the eyes, then he just said quietly, I don’t know, it was very odd.

This is so eye opening! Thank you

This guy knows what he’s talking about. He’s a TRUE EXPERT. He leads me to the light every single video. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for teaching and telling the truth

Every thing you have mentioned is absolutely right. I am experiencing all of this.

Great informative video. 👍

Why addicted to narcissistic videos? It’s been three weeks im watching these videos

thank you for the video. very good observed, especially the emoji issue. they are not able to express emotions in words, because of, as i their lack of empathy. instead they are using emojis a lot - mostly in a way that doesn't fit correctly to the context. the emojis are most of the time a bit too much or not making really the point. and yes, even the "devil" emoji was used in a way of trying to be "funny" but actually it showes who she really was. emojis are a perfect example of their lack of emotional connection, understanding and punishment. it is just horrible.

So glad I found your videos,wow❤

You’re always spot on.

You are helping a lot of people. God bless you ❤

I appreciated your explanation of how serious pain , life has changed and you have been treated with disrespect 💯 Friendship is fickle when a friend is needing love and support at the worst time of their lives I have been unlucky. Friendship left me Sent me their pictures of their lives in positive glee and joy . My family left me in their actions that became pushing me out.... My mother betrayed me by not including me in her will . I felt it was bad special treatment given to me and I was really a good person

Great video. Many Blessings to you

Very clear explanation 🎉

When I thought I heard it all....this is so spot on my ex-narc relationship. He would do this weird texting to everyone 🤯

So true! Spot on correct! Im so glad i left. Thank God.

They replied with *"hmm"* on text everytime an uncomfortable talk occurred showing Passive aggressiveness towards me, not addressing the root cause of issues, in order to END the convo.😂😅

Emojis yes. Every emoji they use is to show that they are superior to you. I can remember friends who did that. A subtle insult/sarcasm with the wink emoji. And when you clap BACK. Its always the “ 🥱 you cant take a joke “

What about texts that say, "are you thinking of me", are you gonna "attack" me tonight?", "are you missing me?" "Do you love me?" I get those all the time n never know how to respond besides anger inside

I received spammy texts from my covert narcissistic mother nearly every day.

Thank you for explaining that I’m reacting as the reaction of the abuse

Absolutely true every word that you’ve spoken many thanx from England

Yes, you were right, when you are most busy with something important, they will beg for your attention for some insignificant issue

Always on point

So true m a doctor and my narcissistic partner whenever I am in emergency or doing 30 hrs duty he would just start arguing me over nothing would sometimes ask me to leave my job immediately just to give him tht attention and if I don't do this he would start saying tht you don't put me as your no 1 priority.This is so weird but dangerous at the same time!!Plus all other points are also true.

Wow I’ve never felt so heard or validated

I would share news with my mother (completed masters degree, for example) and she would act like I said nothing and turn it into a conversation about herself. No matter how many times I tried, she would immediately turn it around to herself. I don’t know how I survived her. But it was survive, not thrive.

This is spot on…

Had a narcissist always get upset when I didn't answer her texts and calls immediately. She even talked to a doctor we shared at the time about how worried she was about me because I slept during the day. She knew my health issues and yet accused me of being lazy.

Mine text me at work, I'm caregiver. He has called my mom freaking out, so afraid something happened to his sugar mommy. Totally on point. I'm killing with kindness. I get one response text back when I text them

I discarded him after he sent me this :"🤣" after I asked him a serious question

Bingo. This has happened to me. Burdensome texts and name calling, gossiping and boring details. It's my life and my time. ❤

The phone company literally shut his phone off. Said he was using it as a monitoring device. But honestly me as a trauma bond survivor was calling constantly

Oh mylanta.... GAP also possess these preemo text skills * why i kept my volume down, phone on silent. Such bizzare behaviors......

I have just walked away from one, exact things happened as you said, they are really psychos

All of it, this makes so much sense it makes me sick!!!

My NPD person quit texting and emails because he wanted nothing in writing! He was too late! I’d downloaded them. Printed them. His tests were surely just pasted. Voice messages were crazy as all F’k! Songs he sang. Some just music. “Feeling sorry” ones. Blocked. No Caller ID is/was his MO.

yes i was with a man who got mad if i didnt answer him immediately. he ended up cheating on me, but made it look like i was the one cheating. ugh. i was with at least 3 or 4 narcs in the past. i finally found a great guy and was so surprised at how a real man should treat a woman.

You are point on! Thanks for putting it into words. And that texting habits really made me feel that I am the one who is loosing it. Thanks for explaining it, so now I am sure it wasn't just 'my imagination or my hypersensitivity', like he told me. No, it was exactly like I experienced it.

Totally on the emojis. I have evidence. Lol

All of this is spot on! My soon to be ex. I absolutely hate texting or even talking to him. He talks the entire time 😩. And the text messages are just manipulation. And don’t even get me started on when they call back to back until you pick up “I just wanted to see how are doing” 🙄

Yes I have regularly experienced all of these things! The other thing that happens each time I ask for an explanation or I have a question is he texts an answer, but messes up the spelling of the words so it answers my question but doesn't tell me anything like "I am going to be late home because of qrsggiv." he doesn't answer at all if I tell him that doesn't make sense or say anything to correct it. If I question him later he just laughs it off saying that he made a mistake, and why am I getting defensive??

Listening to this totally triggers my anxiety despite being free from he narc for 4 years, I feel validation from hearing all of this as I always felt like the crazy person. Always asking myself am I wrong....am I the narc?

They’ll bombard you with texts and overwhelm you when you’re busy, then when you ask them for info they’ll text back vague and half answers so you have to keep going back to them and ask for more. It’s a game to them, they’re a nut job.
