When a narcissist ignores you, it’s never random. In this episode of the Moving Forward with Hope – Narcissistic Abuse Recovery podcast, we look at how narcissists deliberately use silence as a manipulation tactic to provoke a reaction and regain control.

We examine:

• How they ignore you to provoke a response, not because they’re unaware of your needs
• Why they use withdrawal to create confusion and chaos, keeping you emotionally unstable
• The way this silence is meant to make you feel "needy" or "clingy", shifting blame onto you
• How ignoring is used to test loyalty, escalate manipulation, or avoid accountability

When a narcissist refuses to reply, walks away without a word, or stonewalls with dismissiveness, it leaves you chasing closure while they reclaim power.
