The New Supply Isn’t Special: Understanding the Narcissist’s Game After Discard

You cannot inflict harm on someone and then dictate how they should feel about it.

 You cannot inflict harm on someone and then dictate how they should feel about it.


When you shatter their world, you forfeit any right to control their healing process. The audacity of those who believe they can regulate the fallout of their own destructive actions is truly staggering.


When you hurt someone, you relinquish any claim to govern their emotional response. You cannot demolish their sense of self and then dictate the extent of their pain or the pace of their recovery. Their devastation is a deeply personal experience, one that belongs to them alone to process and navigate.


The impact of your actions may have destroyed their trust, broken their heart, or shattered their faith, but it is not your place to control how they pick up the pieces. They have the right to determine their own path to healing—how they mourn, how they grieve, and how they rebuild their lives. You cannot prescribe the terms of their recovery or the depth of their sorrow.


Your role, if any, is to acknowledge the harm you've caused and to make amends if possible. It's essential to give them the space they need to heal without imposing your own expectations or timelines. By choosing to inflict pain, you have forfeited the privilege of determining how ruined they are allowed to feel. Their emotional journey is theirs alone, and it should be respected as such.

Toxic traits of covert narcissists

 Welcome to the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Community Blog and Podcast. Today, we delve into a critical topic that affects many people: the toxic behaviors of covert narcissists. Covert narcissists are often more challenging to identify than their overt counterparts because they hide their narcissism behind a façade of concern and care.

The first toxic behavior of covert narcissists is hiding and concealing their true identity. They present themselves as caring and concerned individuals, but this is merely a manipulation tactic. Their apparent concern often feels phony or forced. Many targets of narcissists are empaths, who can detect this lack of genuineness through gut instincts and intuition. If you feel that something about their concern is off, it’s likely because it is. Recognizing this false concer...

Why do narcissist’s discard their partners

Narcissists discard their partners cruelly due to several psychological factors rooted in their personality disorder. Understanding these factors can shed light on their behavior and provide some clarity for those who have experienced such treatment. Lack of empathy is one of the defining traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Narcissists often struggle to understand or care about the feelings of others. This makes it easy for them to discard partners without considering the emotional pain they cause. Objectification of partners is another common behavior. Narcissists typically view their partners not as individuals with their own needs and emotions but as objects that serve a purpose. When a partner no longer fulfills the narcissist’s needs—whether it be admiration, validation, or control—they are seen as disposable. Narcissists have a strong need for control. Discarding a partner cruelly can be a way for the narcissist to assert dominance and control. By leaving in a hars...
