I do this too. For me I can trace this behavior back to my childhood, with my narc caregiver. I have to actively fight against it. I think it might be because part of us still thinks of them as loving your caring, even though they are not truly capable of that. But our mind is split on the matter
Future faking is so easy to miss if you don't understand that the person you are dealing with is a narcissist. Myself and my husband are guilty of missing that when we believed that the Narcissist actually told the truth. Looking back I see alot of other narc behaviors that should have been a red flag to no longer have contact with this man. Finally my family has no contact with this person and a civil case going to court very soon.
Why do you still seek comfort from the narcissist even when you know they will ultimately hurt you?
Without fail! Just a matter of time.
