Narcissist and the Fear of Intimacy

Why do narcissists run from closeness—and why does it hurt so much when they do?
In Understanding Narcissists' Fear of Intimacy, Anthony Byers explores the deep-rooted terror narcissists feel toward genuine connection. Beneath their charm, arrogance, and emotional walls lies a profound fear of vulnerability, exposure, and being truly seen. This book unpacks the childhood wounds, shame, and internal fragmentation that drive narcissists to sabotage love and push people away when intimacy begins to grow.

Whether you're healing from a narcissistic relationship or trying to make sense of their push-pull behaviors, this guide will help you:

• Recognize the signs of intimacy avoidance in narcissists

• Understand how trauma, shame, and false self-construction fuel emotional detachment

• Break the cycle of confusion, self-blame, and emotional abandonment

• Reclaim your peace, clarity, and emotional safety

Perfect for survivors, empaths, and therapists alike, this book sheds compassionate light on the hidden pain behind narcissistic defenses—while empowering you to stop chasing the love that always slips away.
