"Revenge" is not typically considered a healthy or constructive response to dealing with a narcissist or any challenging individual. It's essential to prioritize your well-being and focus on healing and personal growth rather than seeking revenge.
Going "no contact" with a narcissist can be a necessary step for many people to protect themselves emotionally, mentally, and sometimes even physically. When dealing with a narcissist, maintaining contact can lead to continued manipulation, emotional abuse, and negative effects on your mental health. Cutting off contact can provide you with the space and time needed to heal and regain your sense of self.
However, the decision to go no contact should not be seen as a form of revenge but as an act of self-preservation and self-care. It's about setting healthy boundaries and choosing not to engage in a toxic relationship that can be detrimental to your well-being.
Revenge, in general, tends to perpetuate a cycle of negativity and harm, often causing more pain for both parties involved. Instead, focus on finding support through therapy, support groups, or loved ones, and work on rebuilding your life in a positive direction.
Ultimately, the best "revenge" is living a happy, fulfilling life, free from the negative influence of toxic individuals. By taking care of yourself, growing personally, and surrounding yourself with healthy relationships, you can break free from the toxic cycle and find true contentment.
