The crazy thing about a lot of covert narcissistic people,
their whole goal is to tame you.
Especially if you're a strong personality.
If they say you got strength and courage and confidence,
their whole goal is to be the one that could tame you
when everyone else couldn't.
And then when they finally tame you,
that's when they start to devalue you.
This when they start to treat you like you ain't nothing.
And it's really weird. This is how their minds work, bro.
And they just be hopping from person to person to person to person.
This is what they do.
