How Narcissists Use Breadcrumbing to String You Along (Simply Explained) - Let's talk about how narcissists keep you attached to them, even when they don't treat you right. First up, I'll explain exactly how they use breadcrumbing to do this.
Also known as intermittent reinforcement, breadcrumbing is sort of like when the narcissist offers “crumbs” of affection. So in the context of a toxic relationship, intermittent reinforcement is when the narcissist offers “rewards” such as affection, approval, and validation only some of the time. This keeps the victim hooked on the narcissist because they’re always trying to get those “crumbs” of love, and when they don’t receive any, they try that much harder. To put it mildly, it's a very toxic manipulation tactic.
In this video, I'll explain breadcrumbing and how it works, plus what you can do to avoid falling for it in the future, and how you can deal with it if you're still in this kind of relationship.
