Dating a narcissist can change you in many ways. I believe dating a narcissist will change your emotional and mental state. Humans like them know how to manipulate the mind of others to get what they want.
You’ll notice yourself doing things you usually wouldn’t do to satisfy a narcissist. Things such as devoting the majority of your time to supply their needs instead of yours. Over time you’ll develop emotional damage after realizing the narcissist wasn’t appreciating your effort.
Feeling like the effort you put in to make someone happy is not being appreciated can eventually make you feel unhappy. Being unhappy will make you become more aggressive, rude, and careless with people. All because a narcissist showed you how selfish they are with their energy can affect your energy towards others.

It is one possible way to change a narcissist but you basically need to have narcissistic behavior also. You have to be able to know how to stand firm on your decisions and not easy to be convinced. If not, a narcissist will overrule you every time.

How to become a narcissist?
Honestly, it’s not really a good idea to become a narcissist. Most people feel like narcissists are the types of humans who get rude when being around them. An antisocial person can easily become a narcissist since they don’t care to talk to people.

They will notice how rude you become and how stingy you will get with your energy once you pick up narcissistic behavior.
