      Am I the Narcicisst?
      I have been in contact with a guy almost 6 months..in an online dating site, one of his requirement is that we should be more intimate while in LDR, so we can gauge the relationship being comfortable with each other and also to take it to the next level... but I cannot do anything intimate...
      He told me, that we tried it 7 times, and for him its like we are in a yo-yo effect, I know it was my fault that I tried to cut my conttact with him, he used to tell me that his just there for me, he is being very nice...
      Then finally, a month after we really have no contact, his relationship status is already partnered with a woman whom he also met online but were able to meet in personal...
      He told me that for him, I can'r get over my mental blocks and his new relationship is effortless full at ease and laughter...
      I felt so hurt, cause I tried my best, and everytime I'm just confused because we keep communicating, and he would tell me nice things like he was always going to be there...

      You know I kept thinking about this from the energetic perspective once they realise they can't get more from you, they discard you in a way that would leave you so thrown off and without closure, that you will spend your time thinking about them, trying to get back the pieces you have lost to them and understand what happened, but until you do and bring you energy back to yourself, they are still getting everything they need from you - and without all the fuss of actually having to be in a relationship with you. I suspect that once the feel they the energy is no longer flowing from them to you, they sense it and are likely to reach out at that point. I know it sounds woo woo, but there is a ton of anecdotal evidence that coincides with this perfectly. I don't think they are doing it consciously, they just feel it. It's a form of vampirisim when I come to think of it, only difference they don't have teeth, but they feed of other people.

    The actual final discard is up to us. It is a spiritual soul tie and once the tie is broken there is no longer any type of real "attachment" disordered or not. Pray to God to break the soul tie.

      The ex husband was repeating what the new supply told him.
      He left with out asking me. Married 36 year's he told me that he was intitled to do whatever he wants.
      I was anger. I was trying to help him pack. He told me that he didn't care about anything that I had given him.
      He now lives with the new supply.
      His is a addiction to pornography. He thinks woman is to serve. Like a dog chained up in the yard. Which he thought was good. He smiled and said " It's not as bad as the last one". 🤢 Sick.

      I agree. When I told her she never had to worry about hearing from me again, I meant it. Full no contact. It's been 3 months now. She was so shocked she did not even say anything when I said it. She has all of her ex lovers in her contact list except me. That's it for me. I can never contact her or her contact me. Done, done💯💯. I did not start with the videos until after the last discard. I was feeling like something was wrong with me. Then I realized she is still accepting my phone calls and being quite cordial. But I decided no more. I realized she was gonna try and use my inability to leave her alone to hoover me back in once she was ready. But she never expected me to go full no contact in a way that she would never have access to me again.

      I was hoovered twice and the last denigrating thing he said, did it for me. I took the suggestion to have NO Contract in all my social media. It’s been almost 3 months and I feel so much better. Educating myself with so many good books and doing a lot of journaling have walked me through the sadness and pain. I don’t care that there was no closure. My shutting the door is closure enough. Narcs are malignant parasites.

    I was ghosted after 10 months, no explanation, no contact. We never developed a trauma bond, it was all golden until he abandoned me completely. I cannot tell you how difficult it is for me to process this. The ghosting was bad enough until I understood that the person I was dealing with didn't even exist. The relationship, the love that I totally believed in never existed. It's been over 2 months now since he left. I have good days and bad days, mostly bad. I threw out everything in the house that had anything to do with him, but it's so hard. Everything reminds me of him, I miss him and I hate him. I'm devastated.

    It's more like shelving. When you served your purpose they put you away like an object, and when they deem it appropriate they'll come and pick you up again. Remember, a relationship never ends for a narcissist. They'll always be back at some point unless you go full no contact.

    This was spot on! You nailed it. My ex-husband "discarded" me for property. In other words, like property, I was sold. It's terrible, awful. I just don't get it. I guess that is the problem. We were married for twenty years and he got everything he wanted. An acquaintance of mine said this to me a long time ago. I'll never forget it: ""Do you know what your problem is, Sue? You're too nice. Don't you know that there are predators out there just waiting for people like you ? They'll make their way into your home, like the soul-sucking vermin they are. You have something they want. If you give them just one small gift, you passed the test and they'll continue to test you. They''ll gnaw and nibble away at you until you feel like your soul is void. And then finally, when they find your taste to be bitter, they'll simply spit you out. This leaves them free to find someone, not unlike yourself, but who tastes sweet to their palate. Just as sweet as you once were before they left you with nothing." I must have been daydreaming that day. Perhaps about the narcissist who I had just recently allowed into my life.

    About 8 weeks ago I ran into her going into the shop on a Friday evening I stopped the car gave her a wave,she had a meltdown on the footpath no contact for 2years not happy
    Last night I saw a mutual friend after a AA meeting said she is totally depressed and talking suicide constantly and how much she hates me,,she left me as you described in a to hard to handle state didn't know how to repair the situation
    I feel sorry for her but I have no interest in that way of life again

    You are telling the truth, I was discarded by a narcissist and after about a year he start calling me being so nice to me. He was saying he wonders how it would have been if we would have stayed together, I think about you all the time, " he said" I cringed. Of course I ignored that statement and kept it on a friendly basis. Now when he calls I don't answer the phone. So he doesn't call as much "which is great."it's so funny what happens when you start to move on with your life it's as if they know you're actually becoming happy and peaceful again.

    This was actually spooky in its accuracy. We were together for three years and its been another three since she discarded me for the “final” time. She has started checking on me periodically by text message over the last few months, but has made no overt attempt to reconcile. Meanwhile, I’m busy living the dream of a single guy: working during the week and either motorcycle riding or boating on the weekends, primarily with my male friends. I don’t want her back, but I will admit that it would help make up for the pain I went through if she would at least try. 🤷‍♂️

    A lot of what you say makes sense. But I think it’s more cruel. I don’t think they feel guilty ever or remorse. They hate you when they leave. They get bored and throw you away like trash and they don’t care. And they don’t have close friends. They manipulate everyone. They keep friendships that give them supply and yes, flying monkeys. Everyone works for the narcissist. Your video gives a sense of vulnerability. I don’t feel for them. They are cruel abusive demons and know what they are doing and know they can change and choose not to.

It’s nothing to do with the battle between God and Satan in which the “empaths” will finally raise their flag in victory over Jezebel’s smouldering palace.....it’s more that they have fallen into bad mental habits and when they meet other people’s bad habits, especially in close relationships, sparks will fly and this will happen repeatedly until they finally learn, until everybody finally learns. I feel unconvinced when people say the narcissist never changes - there are examples of changed personalities everywhere....people like Sam Vaknin and H G Tudor have obviously used their intelligence to modify and completely turn around their behaviour. I don’t think an intelligent person, by which I mean someone able to look at themselves objectively, would want to continue through life as a narcissist.

    You are so spot on with the discard stage with a narcissist! I like to stand back and think of myself as not being in a full blown relationship with this narcissist individual, because I wasn't - had a fling, he smear campaigned me to friends and family who I have never met, and thank God too! He comes from a family of narcissists, his Mother is the ringleader and Sister well they are both dysfunctional. I worked this out for myself along time ago!
    Yes, he keeps tabs on me, and I know about some of his supply as he puts photos on social media to try and destroy me, but I'm not interested in his life and what he is doing.
    Now, after 5 years out of the blue l have seen him, I know he stalked me in the past and I have seen his flying monkeys 🐒 I can't understand what he wants with me as we were never an item and he never broke my heart 💔 I was the one that got away and saw right through his facade! Now he's come back looking all miserable and angry, even though he's in a relationship with new supply and a family. But here's the crunch, he bi-sexual/gay and his narcissist family know this and they know how it's going to end..no good will come of it! I have seen how he operates and I am probably the only one he"s ever had that is the best 👌. I am a empath that gets over things easily and moves on!

So yes, I became a scapegoat, and as soon as the texts came on a morning at work, I knew how to handle it. It was all a contrived set of grievances, so I cannot argue my side. Again, I don’t care anymore, she has killed my empathy, made me more like her. I am enjoying the no contact. I have had time to reflect and realize how hard she has made my life for a few months.

    Great video! I can attest to every point: the narc "shelved" me with a silent treatment/ghosting but continued to watch my social media obsessively, but not speaking with me anymore. It was very dysfunctional. I eventually blocked them on all channels and went no contact. From the little I saw at the time, the person had a clear attachment disorder (absent mother and drama of the gifted child combined) and was oscillating between grandiosity and vulnerability - this double resonance, grandiose and vulnerable, plus all the other behaviours exhibited tell me I was dealing with a very sick person. I'm glad I got out.

    The end of a relationship (either sudden or slowly over time) without having any communication about what the actual issues are so they can be addressed or at the very least understood by both parties creates prolonged confusion for the lesser NPD partner. Prolonged confusion and one person doing the majority of the emotional processing and soul searching trying too understand what happened and why is a big clue that your partner is disordered. My partner could not locate their emotions, split me black and could not remember anything good about the relationship or anything positively about me as a partner. I realized that this person drifted away slowly over 2-3 years and now wonder what other supply he was getting during that time and would not be shocked at all to discover that he probably had a duplicitous life in some way. I was shocked after the relationship ended to hear things he felt about me and the relationship that were never spoken about and could‘ve been easily remedied or clarified had they been discussed at the time. It;s like he quietly kept score of all slights I ever did in order to justify pulling away and then when I noticed and spoke up about it he would say nothing was wrong or he was tired etc. A year after the break up is when I realized this and also his interpretation of events was really different than what I remember. I remembered out relationship as being pretty good at the time (now I have a very different perspective since learning about covert vulnerable NPD which does fit although I cannot diagnose this person). So there‘s this strange extra grief of not even being on the same page with this person regarding what our 5 year relationship even was. Key is the lack of empathy I saw once he did not gain energy or supply from me and the inability to understand context, his own internal feelings, let alone what I might feel/put himself in the shoes of another. He became a protesting, child-like blank slate once the mask dropped. Oh and lots of tiredness during relationship which I know wonder if it was from having to maintain the mask of being a helpful kind generous gentle person who supposedly liked certain things that maybe he was pretending to. That‘s prob what the fatigue was, keeping that up.

    The narc l dated said to me at the beginning of the “relationship” that he doesn’t like to argue and that when a woman argues with him he is out of it. I thought that was very strange, but little did l know, it is because once the women in his life realize that he is cheating on them, of course they will confront him and that’s when he leaves them. That’s what he did to me. He discarded me as soon as l asked me where he was when he ghosted me many nights. He called me “toxic” and broke up with me. I realized l could not ever ask him for anything otherwise he’d leave me. That’s abuse. He came back two weekends on a row to invite me over his place. Of course l rejected him and now he is giving me the silent treatment. It is crazy. My head is spinning.

    Wow very true I went back a few times just trying to figure it out she said she just gave me a few days to calm down that's what they call it

    Everything you said is exactly how I felt. I did leave my home and went elsewhere to collect my thoughts and get educated. There was no explanation he just said he was taking his clothes and leaving. The first thing I did was No contact and after 7 weeks I blocked him. He did try contacting me 3 days after he left only I did not answer the phone. He attempted to call for the next 3 days and even came to my home. I was not there. It has been two months and I am hoping to return stronger. Hoping he will forget me and move on. My concern now is my safety.
