Did your Narc send inane texts?

Mine only sent simple and superficial texts, even when we were going through a horrible break up and he sent the same text when he hoovered in June and wanted to see me:
"How r u doing???"
I also texted him to let him know where I am and thinking of moving (largely because of him messing up my life and partly cause I hate the weather back there) and he sent:
"How is the weather?"
I know he is of at least average intelligence but his communications would make you think he is ether stupid or crazy because the words do not fit the situation. Do you think they are uncomfortable after they create trauma or are just clueless and trying to have polite conversation???
The "how r u doing??" is his line to try to hold on to me for supply, it means please do not entirely go away even though I abandoned you and do not want you now.

Did anyone else's Narc send such ridiculous off the wall texts?
ps. I know none of this matters but it is so weird!!!

He gave inane lectures...

Do they count? With nuggets o' wisdom like "This lecture is about two books" (when it was obvious from the title, this was a proto-internet meme), or "St. Augustine is happy and Wittgenstein is unhappy." Back in the day (of the ancient Greeks), fake philosophers were called sophists. He was into the "everything is meaningless",was anti-science (thanks to Tolstoy, despite the fact his father&his wife are scientists) and anti-philosophy, despite trying to pass himself off as a philosopher.

After three months of not

After three months of not speaking (which was brought on by a huge and very painful fight)..he texted me "hey, what's up?"....like it was nothing. So weird.

The Narc was that way too. We

The Narc was that way too. We could be in a horrible place and he would respond with the same types of mundane, nonchalant texts. They do this because they refuse to acknowledge what they are doing to you. They don't want to say too much because it might lead to a discussion involving feelings and emotions and they have neither of those things. In their world they are doing nothing wrong so its no problem for them to keep it causual... They are the issue... Trust me if you were the issue they would have plenty to say or text....

yes yes

Mine seems to really like to discuss the weather when our entire lives imploded after 10 years and we were apart for the first time last year at this time. In fact those are the only texts he sent other than merry xmas and "happy TG to u!" - He was very comfortable texting when I got bumped from flying last year when Kennedy was closed for a week - yes yes, lots of nothing

The weather...

That's so funny to see that... I swear I learned more about the weather all over the country because he talked about it SO MUCH! I thought it was just because he traveled, but reading your comments makes me think that it's just one of those really safe topics - no feelings, everyone can relate, and he can't get caught in a lie talking about the weather! Too funny...

the weather

Favorite topic to discuss: THE WEATHER! On and on and on! If I would like to talk about the weather so much, I would have a job as a weather girl, don't you think so Narc?!? Also, N would almost never ask "How are you", he would only ask this during a hoover attempt. Conversation would go like this though: N: "how are you?" me: "not so good.." N: "bye." (N stomps off) OR: N: "how are you?" me: "fine!" (fake it till you make it ;-)) N: "oh . oh. Really? GOOD! " (N stomps off) OR (and this one I always preferred: N: "how are you?" me: "oh I'm having a cold." (not true ) N: "blah blah blah" (and he would continue the conversation) MEN!!!!!!! NARCS!!!!!!!!!!

Typical replys from the narc:

Typical replys from the narc: busy, beat it, nope, yup, k, you need meds, in a meeting, stop too busy for BS, touch base next week. If he wanted supply: I miss you baby, sure Hun, love you, I want you so bad, how are you doing today?, can I call you because I need to hear your voice. So gross. And guess what? I'd take whatever I could from him. I was addicted...sadly still am.

I HEAR YOU

When I say things meaningful he says things like, I hear you or Ok. Its strange. One thing he used to say when we were together and I wanted to be heard or validated I would say well at least you could say some thing like this.....what it was and he would say " see it would never occur to me to even think those things"

wackadoo texts

Yup. They seemed to come out of left field. "Need to be close soon" (translation, I want to use your body to fulfill my needs or use your soft shoulders to cry on) I would send a meaningful text, more than just one or two words, maybe asking an important question...and would get a one-liner. "yes" or "OK". This is a person with a Master's degree...in social work of all things, with a concentration in Psychology, and scholar of scholars. I'm talking about a merit scholarship that has been awarded to senators, doctors, judges, and some vice presidential candidates. Of course, I have since learned that conversing or intellectualizing with their partners is beneath them, because we could not possibly be on the same intellectual level as them. (thanks to someone's earlier posts from this morning which explained this via Sam V). These revelations are coming daily to me. Almost every single "topic" that comes up here, I have identified with SO MUCH! It has been validating and mindblowing at the same time...but ultimately healing. I owe everyone here my life, really, I do. If I could not relate with all of you wonderful strong beautiful and vulnerable human beings...I honestly don't think I would have made it even past one month. Yet four months ago today marks my last "hoover". My last attempt at salvaging a relationship which she had thrown away a year ago.

insane emails

Yep, after being blocked,silent treatment for 2 years he started that crazy shit...2 months ago i got one ,in which he tells me his internet services are going to be terminated,so hhe gave me a new email (hotmail)specially made for me if i felt like "stalking' him...i didn't use it,so i got another email saying that he was just wondering and noticed i did not send any emails lately....then another one thanking me for not sending him a bunch of emails and to 'have Fun"...Then i saw red and told him to NOT contact me because i do not need crumbs,i am an Eagle and not a Yardbird...and he told me he still wants nothing to do with me,and that since we are not together he has no reason whatsoever to contact or have conversations with me,as amatter of fact,with anybody,he keeps it to himself...WTF!&%$#
