The emotion one should ever feel after being discarded by a narcissist is gratitude and relief.

@@machinegurlll JUST SAYING IF I DISCARDED EVERYONE WHO GAVE TOO MUCH ADVICE OR SPOKE OUT HOW THINGS SHOULD GO I WOULD HAVE NO FAMILY AT ALL. I LISTEN TO EVERYONE AND THEN FORM MY OWN OPINION.. I KNOW PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THIS THAT AREN'T PERFECT BUT IN NO WAY DESERVED TO BE DISCARDED... DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ADULT LIKE JUST TO WALK AWAY .

[@FallenMonk55]

Went no contact for a week finally, then she reached out on Christmas and I caved. Had a nice couple days, then similar situation to you... Just emotionally detaches, becomes unreachable. And when I tried telling her it was bothering me she's basically like "I can't support you" or "that's not my problem".

[@lynylcullen8370]

Even after the discard (& this has been a very LONG process!) it still helps to reflect on an all the ways that the discard happened. And remember we do not have to keep asking “WHY?” .. which was a big one for me the last few years. There is no why. They are not like us. I’m an empathetic and generous person who could never treat anyone the way he has. There will never be closure other than NO CONTACT! Thank you for all your videos!

[@PeterAcrat]

Remember to be kind to every cell of yourself, AND be ok to assert boundaries: 🚩Resentment is a toxic time-bomb of self-destruction, and the Earthly 3D moral-bound dichotomy of 'Good Vs Bad' beliefs that support it should be dissolved as an act of "unconditional" love for yourself.

[@jannlewandowski5540]

Lynyl Cullen, I can relate to you 100%. I am good hearted, and I really loved him, not knowing what a narcissist was. I left him 12 years ago, and never heard from him again.

[@Samaritan38]

@@lauren5883 I was helpless too for a time when I lost my job during the pandemic. My ex tried to "cheer me up" by saying how awesome she was instead of truly saying that be strong, be confident that you'll find something better and etc. I learned the hard way when I realized about those red flags that I foresaw in her. From there, EVERYTHING is different about her discovery and finally she discarded me because she doesnt wanted to admitted that I was a bum and a loser to her, but that was her plan all along as a narc. So I'm not only saying to only cheer you up, I'm doing this that if you want to search for a better life within yourself, everyone can step up to their self-worth. One day, you'll realize that you deserve and achieve more in life than you could possibly ever be and not comparing to your ex nor everybody. You're unique, your story is different from anyone's and I believe you can get a new life's chapter than what you are now. So you can't feel helpless forever, it's only temporary. One day, when this ex issue is over, you'll be ending up with a short pause and a thoughtful laugh from what you've been through. It's time to be worthy of your will, time to be strong and you can. You're in my prayers and thoughts. You're worthy, you just dont know it. Your welcome. Best of luck, 😌🙏 ❤️‍🔥

Mind you, I’ve been in our daughter’s life 100% of the time from day one. She literally told me that she refuses to file anything, and that if I did…she would destroy my life and tell the courts that she isn’t sure if our daughter is actually mine and that I would have to prove it, which could take months. I’m like, is this conversation literally happening right now (as she’s packing the whole house up), and I’ve provided 100%? Completely baffled.

I moved out on my narcissistic partner on 1 July (3 weeks ago) into one of his alternate properties because I literally could not bear being in our home one minute moment. I wanted to wait until I was financially stable (2024) but in the end I jumped ship without any savings or job prospects. Seeing myself reflected in every part of my new space after 7 years of growing stifling abuse has been the most incredible experience. I cry a little everyday as I am flooded with memories of the relationship and all of its confusions. I'm looking for a closure that I know will not come. In a blazing display of projection, Polyanna-esque pseudo-ghosting and toxic positivity, he offered to help me move (I politely declined) and has even asked me to the cinema as though nothing has happened. This is more than a little disturbing and makes me uneasy. The space is available for 6 months so I'm looking for jobs and reaching out to friends as I brace myself for potential fallout. Good luck to all of you out there who are trapped in these awful 'rabbit hole' relationships. Such a waste of our self-worse, dignity and potential. Stay strong!

[@shamimtemour]

My heart is with you,it’s a difficult journey we are on, one we never planned. They are crazy, that’s for sure. You had a cinema invitation and mine took me to the KFC drive-thru 2 hours after he left because of his refusal to stop his emotional affair. After 22 years of marriage he patted me on the shoulder as I was sitting on the floor crying, ‘you’ll get over it in a few weeks’ he said. I unfortunately went to the drive-thru as I was in a complete state of shock. I actually felt as though I was in a nightmare and he was a lunatic. Maybe that was his attempt to try and breadcrumb me, he was smiling and had no remorse over walking out on me and our children. One could say he’s damaged from his childhood, but as he’s damaged the childhood of our children, I have no sympathy left for his vile Narcissistic self. Even writing this makes me feel a little strange, as though it was something I had watched, rather than my experience. We are strong and we will flourish ♥️

I found out he was doing smear campaign before discard when his best friend treated me poorly, and he justified his behaviour and didnt support me. Said I was trying to be nice to everyone and nobody has the obligation to like me (gaslighting). Also he slipped in a conversation saying his friend told him I was rude in that ocassion. I responded with a cold "tell me how I was into that conversation in the first place" and he brutally changed the subject. I said that bc I side of me I felt something was shady. Everything was shady and secretive around him. Now I know why.

She was abusive, to all of us, in a lot of ways, so I guess I should have seen the eventual discard coming.

Thankyou for the guidance about Narcissistic abuse. The worst narcissist I’ve recently delt with was just recently he swooped me up when I was so vulnerable, giving me a house, job, a new “long term” life path… Only to take it all away when I said the word NO to him. I was ever so Grateful, but still recognised the signs of Narcissistic Abuse. EveryTime I said No I was punished harshly, for just trying to stand on my own two feet!!! Slowly I noticed the changes and prepared myself knowing the same thing was happening again. He fired me I lost my house he even TRIED to take my pride and leave me with nothing… this time understanding the process of Discard when I left I blocked him taking my power back I paid him back every cent I owed him and never want that abuse in my life again… even knowing he drives past my house coz I hear the car trying to get my energy back by other family members I’ve screen shotted all his abuse n showed it to everyone he Tried with his smear campaign NOT TODAY SATAN 😎✌️ The Kryptonite of Narcissistic Abuse is the Truth when you can back it up they will crawl back in the hole they came from 💪

Now I am going to see psychologist make record, I will still do no contact , the destruction , lying, chaos, toxic ,endless of arguing costs me got breast cancer and neutropenia, I know if I want live a quality of life I have to cut him off .

[@ComplimentsOfMae]

I walked out after getting tired of the gaslighting, the breadcrumbing, the manipulation and I was so hurt and tired emotionally. Now, in the past, I have been so quick to forgive and forget but this time I took my sweet time deciding if I wanted to continue on with him, meanwhile he was begging and begging for forgiveness for days, buying tickets to shows, telling me how he would step up and be the man I needed him to be. Finally I decided to forgive him and give it another try because I just hoped in what he said was finally going to be true. 2 days later, he discarded me unexpectedly. I was completely blindsided because he had done and said all of these sweet things up until that point. He gave me the excuse that “he didn’t wanna hurt me anymore and it was best he do it now” I told him I felt like there was someone else, then days later, he said “that’s why I’m ending it, before it got to that point.” Then another day later, he said “it was over for me when you said I should disregard my son to spend time with you.” That’s something I never ever said but he twisted what I did say to try to gaslight me and keep blameshifting. I decided after that to just go full No Contact and block him because I realized that everytime he said something to me, I would reply and try to defend myself but I was really just giving him Supply in seeing me defend myself and my character in sort of a begging manner.

Unfortunately this is exactly what I'm in the process of experiencing, I caught her cheating online with several men and called her out for being emotionally and physically abusive and told her she possibly could be a narcissist or BPD after being blamed for everything and hit and mentally abused really bad, controlled every aspect since the beginning, now she has it out for me discard me and smear campaign as u say, telling her family things and making me appear the bad guy and she the victim. I don't know , I'm still researching all this but I should be happy she discard me it's just the way she did it is horrible, I'm alone in Puerto Rico and everything I have is gone and worse she make me look so bad which isn't even true yet I don't share the things I been through I think they would think differently, but I'm trying to regain my motivation and confidence in myself is hard . I can't believe I let someone do this to me 6 years we have a 3 yr old girl together which makes things difficult

[@J87513]

She was making me miserable for few years then the discarded me. Happy separated for few months now :)

[@danielchallenger979]

The discard phase happened by her becoming very distant from me. She was always coming up with excuses for being distant which always centered on the fact that she was not over her ex. She could not do couples counseling because she needed to focus on healing from previous trauma. She had to withdraw all emotional and physical intimacy because she could focus on healing from her previous trauma. The way how she would talk about her ex indicated that she still missed him. While claiming to be miserable, she was acting very happy pushing me away. She would see me having mental breakdowns, walk away and I would hear her laughing her ass off. Many times when I was trying to have a serious conversation with her about how her behavior was damaging me, she would start playing video games. This did not stop until the relationship ended. I can understand if her healing from previous emotional trauma was causing issues with her. However, if she actually cared about me, she would have at the very least had empathy for me.

[@alysiahite7086]

[@ianarn]

Yes i was brutally devalued over a seven day period and had to walk away from an ex girlfriend when she continued in her attacks. Stupidly i went back about 4 weeks later only to be triangulated with a man she’d slept with and continued to message when i got back with her. I refused a give me a baby request after only 10 months of fairly volatile dating and betrayal. She went nuts and blocked me from all social media. So never go back once someone has totally ignored your boundaries and feelings of self worth. They always gaslight you and turn it all back on you. It’s just about power and control with her do not go back no matter how hot she is or provokes you being amorous with other men in front of you.

We lived together. He worked out of town for a month, meaning I hadn't seen him for a whole month. Then, he returns to town, my daughter and I are at home, two cops show up with the bogus stalking order. We got kicked out of our house, no where to go. He sat in his car, watched my 9 year old daughter and I carry our clothes out that we could fit in the car. It was an awful and heartbreaking experience. It was unforgiveable.

So many adults lacking something as simple as personal accountability is genuinely disturbing to me.

[@markcapestro5390]

I think the worst part of the discard process is the lack of closure. My ex, whom i would never give that opportunity to come back, just up and left one day. She wouldnt tell me why. She wouldn't say what i did wrong. She didnt tell me anything. Id like to be clear. I wanted her gone. Amongst MANY reasons, i wanted her gone the most for her suicidal threats. I was terrified that id come home and find her dead. But with no closure, it has taken me 5+ years and a lot of videos like these to lay those bones to rest. Its hard!! You feel like a complete failure EVEN WHEN you get what you wanted and you know you are right. It still sucks. I'd be a liar if I didn't admit to praying for Karma to pay her a much deserved visit tho!!😁 I have since moved on and am very happy.

Well, I did manage to break free from my narcissist after 24 years of marriage 26 years of knowing him. No, it wasn’t easy, but he was just getting more cruel and actually even admitting some things were not appropriate but since no one else was there to hear them, basically what was I to do about it. I moved 2000 miles away. My third attempt. The first attempt was within 5 miles. The second attempt was 35 miles. I guess this is the one that really counted since the first time I went back and the second time I invited him back into my life. What we had to split up surprisingly amicable. I have no idea what’s going on behind my back and my sister used to say that what people say about you is none of your business lol. So that he silent I tend to wonder what he’s doing, which is banned with I need to put healing.it’s an odd feeling. I guess I just wanted to say this out loud indoor comment. I have a good support system and I’m living in a safe space right now. Thank you all for reading this.

[@ckn9503]

Yes. He left me 8 times and came back. I hated when he came back. Then I realized he was telling me if I didn't comply, this is how it would be

[@heythere7]

I'm sorry to reply before listening ... but, on a positive note, after learning a lot these last years, I am so glad and rejoicing in the last couple discards ... before I could get drawn in very quickly or too deeply engaged. Both happened after I recognized signs, kept some boundaries (not all, but many good ones), showed some knowledge and resistance to love bombing, would not overly fawn (a little still kicks in bit I'm working on it), and would not let myself be walked upon. There is hope!

Its the most advanced form of control

Discarded last Wednesday after what i thought was a lovely day together... Shes still got a key to my apartment so im constantly on edge She will use the key as a bargaining chip to re enter my life when her new supply sets boundaries It will start with Her : 😔 Ten minutes later Her : hope your okay i miss you Ten minutes later Her : ive still got your key, totally forgot i had it do you wanna meet so i can give it back X Its a script they follow and when you wise up to it they are completely predictable

[@Saiub]

That was the 23rd time she'd walked out I'm upset but more with myself for keeping allowing it to happen She will definitely be back at some point I just hope I'm strong enough to be able to delete her from my life permanently

[@TD401INGA]

Yes. My ex still has access to the house, as we are both on the lease. She resigned for a 2nd year, only to move out within a month. She said she only resigned so she can get some of the deposit money at the end of the term; which I am now 100% stuck with and responsible for.

[@PassarinvanderWal]

Thank you so much for clarifying the situation, and it is very true they did everything for themselves no matter you did nothing wrong.

[@ΜαρίαΣταυροπούλου-γ8φ]

It was a 19year miserable marriage, I had to leave, even the counselors suggested that in front of our teenage kids in a family session... He didn't want a divorce, he'd rather stay in a dysfunctional marriage though he was profoundly emotionally abusive and unpleasant to all of us in the house... 😢

[@blueskies7035]

One of the primary techniques that KZbin therapists recommend is "grayrocking"; it seems an easy way to manage no contact. In my case, when I eventually learned that I was dealing with a narcissist, I mirrored her behavior. That is, I discarded her right back and made it stick. It's been almost a year since any form of communication has occurred. I think the outlook is good.

[@deborahbreckles1916]

Yes, I did survive... thank goodness!!

[@PaigeSquared]

My husband's mask slipped. He desperately scrambled, last minute realizing that he could not convince me that he was a "good guy" anymore. He was so upset that he couldn't demand that I agree with his narrative. Ended up keeping me in the house, blocking me from leaving. Stopping me from using MY car. Eventually this cumulated in a hostage situation, where he locked my toddler son and I in a bedroom, and then ran around the house, pretending (?) or seeming to believe that some strange man was running around the outside of the house. Seemed like he wanted to come up with some way to scare me, but at that point, any stranger was more promising of safety than he was! He took away my shoes, sweater, and glasses, thinking I wouldn't run in December. I still went for that door, over and over and over. Had bruises from him psychically stopping me. Within 24 hrs I had a PFA in place and he was finally evicted. He took my car, so I couldn't work. Idk if he believed what he said or not, his delusions were really wild near the end. I really don't know what he was aware of doing or not aware of, but he hasn't apologized, and hasn't asked what he did wrong, so it seems like he believes he is completely justified. He denied having any memory lapses or mental health issues, I tried to give him the out to save face. It would have been helpful if he was able to speak to me civilly regarding our son, but when he realized he would not be allowed to manipulate me via our child, he stopped visiting. Financial support had stopped years prior, he was just like a bully, living full time trashing a house expecting me to keep up with that and work full time to provide for myself and my son. It really altered my understanding of what the brain can do and that people actually SEE different things in the 3D world. A person in denial will find a way to make something right in their face invisible. He tried doing the public humiliation and shaming thing. I used to care, but then realized that anyone who couldn't bother to ask for both sides, wasn't smart enough for me to care about their opinion.

[@Olivia-bl8ez]

So crazy watching this and hearing EXACT things I told my soon to be ex husband. I told him he had impossible expectations he can’t even live up to. He had this dream girl in his head that doesn’t exist. As soon as I started meeting expectations, he had new more impossible expectations of me. He constantly told me I was lazy and unmotivated… when I was in medical school! It was wild

[@alphap9007]

I think one of the things that bothers people the most that deal with, date or definitively marry & have kids with an narc is the bottom line is you want to get revenge. My older brother went through this. When he’d leave their place and stay at my parents home, he would say things like, how is it she can get away with all this with no consequences and just don’t care? And he end up eventually chasing her, something I NEVER seen him do before with any girl. He either want to correct or explain something she said about him that’s wrong and not true, and sh knew this. And he was also always trying to get control of the relationship, get yhis respect back. My older brother needed therapy after his first wife, which is not bad thing. But it was so strange how I seen at a younger age of 15 she needed him more but he dealt with so much of her craziness. He even admitted more than once to my mom it feels like I’m hypnotized or she has voodoo on him. I , we all found the very best way to deal with a narcissist, if you are sane and you know in your heart your not wrong and truly are the victim here. accept the pain, the financial burden, the disrespect, the idea they’re with someone in your face, the appearance of abandonment of your kids home, dog or cat etc etc and up and leave them cold! Don’t worry if he or she will notice, come around to their senses or apologize and beg you back.

[@AlliterationAdvocate]

My wife ran off with the children. I have absolutely no idea where they are. I haven't seen them in months. But before and after that I did see some of these behaviours. I truly can't imagine how she could possibly come back.

And of course it was always me I had issues not them.

[@Someoneoutthere67]

As I have always stated, I’m not sure if this individual was a narcissist or not I do know however there was a lot of dysregulation that caused issues, I would get caught by surprise by some of what dysregulated this individual. I do see a lot of both of us in your videos, and I am learning a lot from your videos. The comment you made about abuse struck me as the truth because I would allow myself to be abused, but when it crosses over to my family members, that’s where I had to put a stop to it

[@azathothic]

I was at the point where I had the upper hand and I kept trying. This was my biggest mistake and I'm still paying for it. I got her pregnant and I'm still going thru court just for visitation, even turned my sister against me. Mind you I'm not looking for custody just time with my child. I got hoovered back after my child's birth and faced the same problems and got discarded again. Any poor soul experiencing this with such sick people never give up, I was blessed with the persistence (also a curse w these people I don't want to give up )which also helps. I think it is also important that you don't empower them. It is a lost cause and you cannot blame yourself or beat yourself up. Please never give up have the discipline to know when to give up on certain people. I wish I could become a helpful resource in helping people through hard times like that. I wouldn't even wish it on her

[@mikedrury7217]

My ex discarded me after a year together, we were engaged and unfortunately experienced 2 miscarriages in that time. She would gaslight me constantly and I became increasingly paranoid and jealous and according to her this was why we ended. Although she would talk about her exes and other guys 24/7 which i know now was to make me feel insecure. After the discard, she would hoover and draw me back in and this lasted for around a month, drawn in, pushed out and blocked before being drawn in for the last time. The last time we saw each other she gave me a million reasons as to why i was the problem, most of them it was the first time i had heard them! Before blocking me for the final time without closure. This has now been 2 weeks and it's really messed with my head. Declarations of love, promises and future faking really does mess with your head.

[@Mjones4949]

The first few discards, she was a huge drunk and blocked me on everything. This time she's sober and has a job, but I'm only blocked on SM, not cell. Right now, she is love bombing her new supply, yet won't give back my engagement ring, saying it still means too much to her...lol. Also, she wants me to watch her cat for awhile. I'm just trying to see if the final discard.

My devaluation and discard happened when he suddenly randomly and out of context, started talking about this other woman. This happened twice over a week. The second time I brought attention to it, said it seemed like she was on his mind and asked did he have a crush on her. He non-verbally answered "yes" and after I said "that's completely unacceptable". He responded with "I hardly ever think of her". He didn't realize this was the exact same line he used to excuse a prior incident that occurred over a year ago. I heard the proverbial penny drop. I said "I can't do this" and then "I can't be with you". Only then did I see his eyes pop out. He realized I was dead serious and he had overshot. I told I wanted 6 months of no contact (we live in separate cities) and it will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I am doing and feeling much better and getting my life back with the help of a csat, support group and 12 step meetings.

The point you made on 5:30 has blown my mind. My girlfriend left me because I drank i glass of southern comfort on a weekday and she always said I can’t drink in the week. So she said I was on a slippery slope to alcoholism, plus she said I took a job she didn’t want me to take. They were the 2 reason and I could not get my head around it

[@TheresaMichelleMinnett]

I was married 17 years to a CNarc, I had a severe injury and she started to emotionally check out on me. She started lying, I found out that she had been secretly seeing someone a few years back. She had her ex at a family funeral who she totally adorable and ignored me. At this time I was injured just back on my feet trying to learn to walk. When I questioned her about it she became very very dismissive and cruel, essential I think the mask came off. I left but struggle daily with my choice, its hard to understand how someone can adore you one day and extremely hate you the next. Even though she wasn't coming home every night, I got blamed for the break up when all i tried to do was talk to her. 17 years gone because I wanted respect and boundaries.

[@deepaknambisan3251]

- Called her out - Demanded we talk - She stonewalled me - And ghosted me - We agreed to talk - Returned home from work party - “I’ve left” - “I’m blocking you” - “Don’t contact me” - Of course she’s now in touch with my friends - “Is he okay?” - I am done - Not taking her back - Don’t need closure - Am rather relieved tbh - Smear campaign already underway

[@leah425]

Before the discard I always felt like I couldn’t quite reach him. Like something was missing. I’ve had a variety of relationships through my life, but I always remember that initial feeling in my gut something was off, I have never felt it before. Even when it was new and great and I was a “unicorn”. After the discard we moved in together, in a different province. It took a few months for me to see something really not great was going on and questioning my safety and definitely my cats safety, as it progressively got worse. I left 3 weeks ago and at one week no contact.
