If you’ve ever lived with a narcissist or you think you’re living with one now, then this blog post is for you. If you and the other person have different schedules and they need to wake up earlier than you, then chances are they really don’t like that and here’s why.
They think it’s unfair. Between the two of you, you may be the one who provides more value (and income) to the household, and you’re able to do it effortlessly and efficiently. You make it look easy, which they despise. Watching you sleep an extra 60-90 minutes irritates them and they’ll make sure you get up right after they’re up. How?
They’ll walk with heavy, stomping feet, slam the drawers, cabinets, and doors. When they’re in the kitchen, they’ll cause a ruckus with the utensils, pots, and pans. What should you do?
Unfortunately, if you ask them to keep it down, they may keep it quiet the next day, but they’ll return to their normal behavior the following day. Of course, they’ll tell you they did nothing. In short, these types of people are spoiled, bratty, a-holes who don’t truly care about you and your well-being. There’s no sugarcoating it! How many times are you going to keep asking them to keep the noise down?
I found myself experiencing this with 2 different narcissists: one is an overt, the other a covert narcissist. This lasted for 4 decades. Knowing what I know today regarding narcissists, this behavior is grounds for immediate termination of the relationship, whether it’s a family member, friend, or romantic partner. Why?
Because it tells me everything I need to know about the person. I know the person doesn’t truly care about me because if they did, they wouldn’t drop a feather on the floor while I’m sleeping because they would truly want to see me well-rested and wake up on my own. Do you know anyone who’s like this? Let me know in the comments below.

No I don’t know anyone like that. However I know lots of people who have played with my head and my heart since the day I was born and they have made me look like the bad guy. I inherited reactions that made me hate myself. I’ve been confused and felt I was worthless my whole life and I trust the worst fucking people. I can’t handle it anymore
I feel sorry for that person. Looks like they’re hurting 😕
Hey. I’ve actually never tought about this aspect, but I definitelly did have a few of theese people in my life. Most notably, my ex did this and one instance that comes to mind is our vacations where I was never allowed to sleep-in, which I love to do. She was unemployed for a few years at the time and I worked 12h a day. She wasn’t really covert about it though, she just woke up, crack of dawn, made coffe for herself only and loudly started berating me, if i intend to sleep all day. On one of theese instances, I told her she was inhuman, which is important, because she would use this uttering I made, not only that day, but for the rest of our relationship. Years later, she would remind me how bad of a guy I am, since I said she wasn’t a human to me this one time.
My partner used to stay up most of the night and talk to me while I tried to sleep. He would tell me a story or just standing downstairs and talk out loud about whatever and drink more. He would then talk louder and his comments would become aimed at me in some way or another. I remember many nights I would leave and sleep in my car.
Yes, I have lived with such a person (dito) and it was not fun! I can only feel bad about people around that person.
