They have narcissistic traits. They're going to feel put down by you. They're going to, because you're supposed to see them as superior. If they have antisocial traits, they're going to feel like, wait a minute, you know, you're supposed to be submissive to me. And yet you're walking away. So you don't want to blame yourself. So you're going to go, well, what's left?

What's left is we aren't a good fit. Our goals have gone in different directions. I'm really ready for a career change. I want to go back to school or, you know, I just realized I'm not ready for a committed relationship anymore. So it's not about you and it's not about them. It's not about blame. You want to try to keep it away from blame.
