The Narcissist’s Karma: Are You It? (With Real Life Examples)

So the next person might be somebody who’s either extremely codependent—which, in a best-case scenario for the narcissist—is still not going to make them happy. They’re still going to replay the same stuff. They’re going to go through the same cycles. They really aren’t capable of doing anything else.

So that alone is a form of karma: continuing to go on like this, replacing people, trying to find happiness, and never actually finding it.

But then on the flip side, there’s a chance that when somebody is making hasty decisions like this, if you think about it, who’s okay with love bombing?

We already talked about people who are highly codependent. But also narcissists and sociopaths are pretty cool with love bombing. That is the method they use to get to know someone.

So it’s not only possible—it’s likely—that a narcissist who is desperate to put someone in that role might make bad choices.

And I’ve heard this happen quite a bit: a narcissist in this position ends up in a relationship with another narcissist who is worse than they are. And that is karma you may have set into motion by just living your best life.

So let’s look at a couple of examples from the comments.

This commenter says: “That’s exactly what happened to me. I was married for 20 years to a narcissist, and when I left her, she got married exactly 90 days later. Surprise, surprise.”

“He was a psychopath who destroyed her for the next 4 and 1/2 years until she got divorced again. A few years later, she reached out to me to get together again, and I told her to never contact me again.”

“So I really don’t like the idea of wishing ill upon someone. And even just hearing something like this play out, I can’t help but feel bad for the person who endured severe abuse. Yes, they shouldn’t have been abusive themselves, and yes, they should have made better decisions. But all in all, I don’t wish abuse on anyone.”

And here’s another comment that proves karma does exist.

“My ex-narcissist’s new supply cheated on him. She did exactly what he did to me.
