Is it advisable to tell a narcissist(roomate) that he has ruined your life and you now wanna end everything?

I have been living with my room mate who is a narcissist.1 month is left for college to get over.I somehow want to take revenge.Shall I tell him how he ruined my life and personality or shall i let this month pass by and simply disappear from his life.He has completely exploited me both emotionally and physically.I have even slept with him and we r both guys and i have foolishly happily done everything for him.


How should i cope up with this.Everytime when he needs me i am there but whenever i need him he is never thereIs it advisable to tell a narcissist(roomate) that he has ruined your life and you now wanna end everything?
The last thing you want to do is to tell him how much of a profound effect this guy has on you...this will give him a sense of power and he will probably make you feel worse than you already do. Let it go...and cut down on being around him too much and in a month, you can really cut him completely out of your life. You don't want to surround yourself with anyone that isn't going to either grow with you or let you grow.Is it advisable to tell a narcissist(roomate) that he has ruined your life and you now wanna end everything?
Don't say a word to him about how he has affected you. Not only will he not care, but he will find a way to be proud of it, if he's a true narcissist. The best thing you can do is, after this month is over, get out of his life and have NOTHING more to do with him.


If he ever contacts you in the future, block him out in every way. The only way to deal with narcissists is to have nothing to do with them. You will never beat them any other way. If he realises you are deliberately cutting him out of your life, that will be punishment for him, because narcissists can not bear to believe that someone doesn't want them. If he doesn't realise you are cutting him out of your life (and just thinks you've both gone your separate ways %26amp; that's why he's not seeing you), you still win, because you won't be seeing him anyway.


Good luck.


Addition:- Just thought I'd add that it would be a good idea to get some therapy as well. It will help you put your life back in perspective.
Who is the narcissist? All I see in your letter is me, me, me. You did this, you did that, want, want, want. Try fixing yourself before you try fixing someone else.
If he really screwed you over, then tell him. He probably needs to be brought back to earth a little bit. It's possible he doesn't realize he is so self-centered and the reality of his behavior may help him improve himself. The only reservations I have is that you look at it as ';revenge'; and not for the purpose of standing up for yourself. Revenge is a strong notion that suggests you are looking for gratification through his displeasure. Many times, it doesn't turn out that way and then you will still be pissed off and nothing has changed. If you want to read him the riot act to clear your mind, go for it.
don't take revenge. just wait until next year and get a new roommate. you might even want to get a therapist, you sound in really really bad shape.
These people are a bid sociopathic so they won't really care if you tell him. But you should be more honest and not harbour these feelings of resentment. Then I think you need to start working with your own issues instead of basking in the shaddow of his glory.
Instead of taking revenge which might end up creating a big mess full of unseen consequences, why don't you do something for yourself? It really sounds like you allowed yourself to be used in a codependent relationship and because I don't see from your question that you recognize this, you'll probably do it again. If you really want revenge, focus on yourself and let the cosmos deal with him - you'll walk out of school full of confidence, looking great and not even caring about this person. Chalk it up to kissing a lot of frogs to catch a prince :)
You gave, he took, deal with it. Nobody made any promises did they?
