When You See a Narcissist After No Contact, They’ll Do This Instantly | Jorden Peterson

Have you implemented No Contact with a narcissist, only to dread the possibility of running into them? What actually happens in that explosive, unexpected moment? In this deep dive, we dissect the instantaneous psychological playbook a narcissist follows when they see you after a period of No Contact.
Witness the 9 predictable behaviors: From the lightning-fast resurrection of their "False Self" to the strategic deployment of social shields, the scanning for supply, and the attempts to control the aftermath with lingering echoes. This isn't just a chance meeting—it's a high-stakes performance designed to reassert control and destabilize your hard-won peace.
Based on extensive analysis of narcissistic personality dynamics, this video explains not just what they do, but why they do it. Understand the fragile psychology behind the contemptuous look, the compulsive name-dropping, the forced camaraderie, and the pre-emptive snub.
This knowledge is your armor. By forensically understanding these predictable patterns, you rob these encounters of their power to shock, hurt, or reel you back in. Learn to observe these interactions with clinical detachment and protect your emotional sovereignty.
