Does it mean I’m a narcissist if I wanted to stay friends with my ex post breakup?

See if the break up was mutual then the idea of being friends has to be mutual aswell.

It’s better for both to move on. Maybe something incredible is waiting for you. As you let go

That’s so true, now that I look back, I wanted him to stay and was attached alot. It’s better he didn’t stay, I could move on easily

I’m curious if solely wanting to stay as friends was my anxious attachment style or narcissistic trait, so I could work on myself

Nah man its not narcissistic. People these days use this word so easily without knowing what narcissistic people actually are like. I know it’s really hard to let someone go. It’s okay to stay friends if you and your ex are comfortable with it, but I hope you focus on yourself too and find ways to heal <3

Thanks man!! Yeah I communicated with them post breakup and I move on, chosing myself over someone who isn’t serious about me would have made me dwell over misery. I believe I’m at a much better place rn, thnx tho<33
