10 Key Lessons After Being Discarded by A Narcissist

[@joshslaton8604]

When she wasn't able to control me anymore she began the discard phase. I've been studying narcissism now for almost 7 years because I didn't understand how a human being could be so evil

[@Bat_Boy]

The problem I had was...I didn't know I was talking to a covert narcissist. We even had conversations about narcissism, and my reply was, "I'm not a mental health expert". I responded that way, because I really didn't know what narcissism was, or how to spot it. Now, after watching COUNTLESS videos on the subject, it is painfully clear. So, while hindsight has me feeling pretty dumb, I am actually very educated now...and will NEVER fall for this again.

[@clintonnagy1662]

Same. She couldn't control me anymore and discarded me. After the relationship is over, I'm ruminating on her contradictions, mind games, and manipulation. My mind & heart are still stuck in the past. It's been 3 months and I'm struggling.

There are children of God and children of the devil. The devil's children take after their father and they come to kill steal and destroy. So be wise, get over your poor choice and be wiser the next time.

[@Vlogbobb]

​@@clintonnagy1662 it takes time. Try to live in the presence. Sometimes you have to be able to catch yourself when thinking of the past by saying'here and now' to snap back into the presence. The rest will fade away eventually. Stay strong. I was with one for 3 years Now at 32, hard to find a decent partner

[@DannyThomas-fb9dm]

1. Love was conditional (it was fake) 2. You discover their Lies, deceptions, manipulations. 3. You will be replaced quickly. 4. You probably didn't understand narcissism before this relationship. 5. Narcissist don't change. Personality traits, lack of empathy 6. They will mess with your mind long after the relationship is over of you let them. Don't follow them. 7. You were gas lit. Invalidated, not recognized, you value was not recognized. 8. You will learn about yourself and your dark side. Deep introspection and self worth issues. 9. You will do a ton of research about Narcissism 10. Learn the need to have strong boundries to protect your self. Decide what you will do if boundries are not respected. Don't accept love bombing. Yes yes yes. All the above. Lise just read my mind knows my story and what I've been through without ever meeting or talking to me.

[@mu1968]

you took the words out of my mouth my friend

[@aniharutyunyan]

It is incredible how they get into your mind, possess you, so you are not able to notice anything else but them. After discard, you are like a newborn baby - helpless but full of potential.

[@clintonnagy1662]

Wow. So true. My situation went from bad to worse. I divorced my wife for the narc ( but I was already separated ), After the discard, I got a DUI, ( wrecked car )and battled alcoholism. We ( covert narc ) got back together and 3 months later I got fired from my job then discarded again by her. Try recovering from a heartbreak, DUI ( can't drive) NO car, father is ill, jobloss ( unemployment) being stuck in an apartment alone with NOTHING to do and NOWHERE to go while she dates someone new. Talk about having mental illness issues. Then no one wants to reach out and see how your doing. I can't believe how shitty life can be and how insensitive people really are.

[@Champman543]

mine discarded me after 7 years. Rebounded after 2 weeks(probably he was in the picture long before). But reading the comments here, I am happy that I didn't marry her. I beat myself up for that, for months. But now I realize, it wouldn't have changed nothing. The communication problems, the lack of empathy and the devaluing... I dodged a bullet, but the trauma bond is strong

[@dalewright8000]

Mines a similar story, discarded after 9 years, she was in a relationship before I was dropped, he moved in 4 weeks later, they bought a house together and were married inside of a year. All she banged on about was having/wanting a child with me but I wouldn't because of her cheating & lying, I used to send her txt's when we were together, just repeating her words...i want, I want, I want. its unbelievable what 'Love' can blind you to. Its been a long tough journey to come to terms with, now 3 years on. I recently blocked her number because she keeps trying to contact me with pics & the odd txt, I didn't want to do it but you have to, for your own sanity! People ask, does 'Kharma' really get them??...well the guy she's married, cannot have children, so he's on a short stay, she even had the nerve to ask me for a 'Reference' so she could be able to 'Foster'....no chance!!!.....shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Kids!! good luck with your recovery>

[@zzzx8017]

I was in a similar situation but after 8 years her mask came off and made my life a living hell. I dodged a bullet too. She convinced me I was perfect for her and I was going to marry her. A year after she left I'm starting to really know why I had the gut feeling about her. Unfortunately I ignored it. I have a friend that was formerly a private investigator that showed me how I can find out things she was up to. I was shocked! My eyes were open to so much. The lying, cheating stealing, devaluing and after it ended, the smear campaign was viscous against me. I also can't thank Lise Leblanc enough for sharing all these videos that really educated me as to what I had been dealing with. Before that I had really no idea what a female covert narcissist was. Stay strong, stay no contact and work on improving yourself. I wish you the best!

[@itsallgoodlove830]

Mine rebound a month after our 8yr relationship and said she hasn't liked someone so much since her ex before me but she wants us to be friends moving forward....I started therapy and have been no contact.

[@bitonbenny7679]

Yes trauma bund is real and it takes time to get over it, she cheated on me with 7 different man over 3 years until she was ready to discard me, but i got wind and ended the relationship, she did all she can to get me back, showed up at my work making drama, terror telephone, tryed to commit suicide 3 times, there i still didnt know what is a narc, i took her back only to find out she is cheating again 1.5 year later on the road… stay away from those people, the trauma is big and im now 4 months in the healing process and still fill like i have no worth and it is my fault

[@OfSoulAndSin]

Then you didn’t dodge that bullet, you learned to take a hit.

[@davidwarburton1453]

Best one yet. Two years out, I stopped watching narc videos a year ago but come back sometimes for a reminder, and this was so spot on. Thank you for the healthy reminder

[@jonesjr8627]

Spot on. Reminders are the best and helps to show how much you have learned and healed from to be able to recognize these type of people. 💯

[@northernsoul13]

I just deleted all of our photos and was reminded of all of the good times. I was really sad and started crying and missing her a lot, so I came to your channel to watch a video since that worked so well last time and once again every point you made was my relationship exactly. This was what I needed to be stronger. Thank you again.

[@clintonnagy1662]

I'm at that point. I haven't had the courage to delete all the pictures and videos of the 2 year relationship. After watching the footage I realized hours before the videos were made we always fought. Every single time. She would cancel plans hours before, then silent treatment and then text me an hour before the date and want to go out. I would fall for it everytime. I already threw out her gifts or burned them...but someday soon I'm gonna delete the pictures. I can't keep them because they are lies and misinterpretations of the truth. The whole relationship was toxic except for the sex. I didn't want to admit it, but she used me for good sex supply. After the discard she ran back to her " F- buddy Mark". It's sick and twisted So why wouldn't I want to delete those pictures? I guess I still don't want to except she is a toxic person?

[@northernsoul13]

@@clintonnagy1662 brother, delete them. DELETE THEM. My ex would do something similar where I would plan dates and then she would start a fight right before we went out and then get more mad when I cancelled the date because I didn't have the energy to pretend like we didn't just fight for hrs. Got to the point where if I wanted us to have a date I'd have to surprise her with it so she didn't have time to pick a fight. Also, similarly, when I ended things finally back in July she had another guy before I was fully moved out. I went to pack up things when she wasn't home and there was some other guys toiletries in the bathroom. She doesn't love you. She never really did. They aren't capable of it, we are just something to squeeze the life out of until there's nothing left. The longer you torture yourself with the photos, the longer she still has hold. Delete the photos my friend. You are not weak, your brains just been scrambled by this sorry excuse for a woman.

[@supportthejerseymob]

I was accused of being a narcissist.. I came To these videos only to find out she is 1000% the narcissist, the videos are helping me but the trauma bond is so strong ..

[@MarkFlanagan-h1o]

Trauma bond is strong, sure. But NO CONTACT. Dont let pride get you. Take your ego out, set is aside. Her behavior is not about you. It never was!!! . Go no contact snd DO NOT ENGAGE EVER! Go get counseling if you need it. Whatever you got to do. Just don't ENGAGE. She'll make you more crazy the 2cnd time around

[@Mattheus217]

I was accused of that too. And being selfish, proud, an ‘abuser’, no empathy, on and on. With all I’ve learned, and writing it down, analyzing back, wow she was definitely trying to confuse and shame and control me. I seemed to be wrong all the time, but her almost never, which didn’t seem fair or possible. Mind games.

[@AaronDeHart]

1000% same here. I’m like huh?

[@dzoots7583]

The trauma bond is brutal im going through the withdrawals now and its brutal

[@instagamrr]

I just ended things with the narc i was dating a few days ago. He tried to triangulate me with another woman, and when I wasn’t having it, he caused a fight, gave me the silent treatment and when i wouldn’t capitulate, he blocked me, and then used that as an excuse to talk to the other woman. Now, this isn’t about hating the other woman, but in my opinion she had so little to offer compared to what I did and all we had built together. But that’s when I realized how easy it is to be replaced - he didn’t care about the things that made me unique, how much I loved him, or that I would have moved heaven and earth for him. He just needed another woman with a pulse to be supply, that was it.

[@listen2liv212]

I’m so sorry. I’m 3 weeks into this. Can you update us on your healing journey?

[@clintonnagy1662]

I'm sorry too...I'm 3 months away from her and she replaced me in hours. I thought I was special but realize I was not. It hurts knowing how fast these people move on. It's not in my nature to remain silent when I'm being controlled, and manipulated. Hence the reason the relationship ended in September. She got scared because I was standing my ground and refused to be blamed for her poor behavior. No accountability, No apology on her part to make amends. 2 year relationship over without closure. The worst part is she paints me the villian. No changing that narrative now.

Was recently struggling with being discarded and replaced so quickly until I started watching these videos. My covert Narc was my wife. These videos are spot on. I’m still uncovering her deceit.

[@Self-Delusion]

My BPD wife discarded everyone in her life when she ended hers. One final dagger to the heart of everyone that just tried to love her in all her difficulty. She could not cope with the idea that a lot of the pain and suffering in our family was brought on by her. I don't know how she couldn't see it for so long. Delusion is a powerful thing, I suppose. Will I ever be able to trust someone again? Dunno. I'm not giving up on it just yet though.

10 Key Lessons After Being Discarded by A Narcissist 1-the narc's love was transactional and conditional 2-their lies and deceptions distorted reality 3-you are easy to replace 4-you'll learn about narcissism 5-narcissists don't change (limited capacity of change because structural and brain differences, deeply engrained personality traits, lack of empathy, resistance to acknowledging and addressing flaws in meaningful and sustained ways) 6-they will mess with your mind 7-you'll be subjected to a lot of gaslighting 8-you'll learn a lot about yourself 9-you'll do a lot of research about narcissism 10-you'll learn the importance of strong boundaries in my lived experience with narcs, i look at: 1-do they get upset if i treat the EXACTLY the same way they treat me 2-how they react when i challenge them with a criticism, or not going along with what they want 3-how they take accountability for their actions 4-how they deal with conflict 5-jealousy/envy - are they happy when you or others are happy/achieving success cheers from southern ontario, canada 🍁

[@curtriedel5036]

Thanks

[@SujathaP-cf3vq]

Exactly correct. You can observe a pattern difference between how a normal person behaves and how a narc behaves. At the very sight of conflict, a narc just runs away. They can't handle criticism. They never take accountability. If you treat them the same way they treat you, they will never talk to you again and ignore you. They can't stand others being happy or successful. They don't know to appreciate other people. It's just I Me Myself. They lack empathy but survive by learning to act empathetic by looking at how people react with empathy. They have a confused expression when you grieve a person's death and when you express how sorry you are for the family. They can mess up with your head big time. If you see these signs, just run. Some narcs also cast love spells to control their supplies. Demons I should say.

[@uppercutgrandma4425]

I've been two months no contact and she's been smear campaigning me since then. I haven't responded to any of it (since I legitimately have no idea what's being said). But, I guess she started pulling more people into it and they're rejecting her narratives. Hopefully, this will sort itself out. I wasn't a great lover but, I was kind and caring. Either way, here's to tomorrow. Keep your chins up, homies.

Sunday she tells me that I’m not giving her what she needs and once and she can’t see a future with me.

Once the court case was over the judge said to us we were adult enough to share the holidays, weekend etc but when the case was finished she started Messing me about again. I’m an ex soldier and suffer with ptsd from my time in Iraq and Sierra Leone but I get that sone of it is unresolved childhood trauma too. I’m supposed to have a support worker in place but everything so broken since covid there’s just no support… like you said while it was going o. I had no idea what was happening. It was ok like battle ground in the family home… felt like I was losing my mind. Once the divorce was I arranged we cracked on with that at various courts up down the uk.she used my kids against me and even though I have court rights to see my step daughter and my daughter it’s been years of heart ache n disappoint. Years After, as I was healing. I started Looking into the disorder. 😅 found lots of therapists that’ are survivors themselves, that’s how I found you channel… one thing I learnt was their tactics of trying to make you believe that you” are the narcissit. I thought I was losing my mind. It made me poorly. It was like I was in hell, nothing was good enough yet she proposed to me, which was a shock . I can’t really explain how horrible her behaviour was… want, want, want, … take, take, take, when she was pregnant she physically attacked me on a few occasions… she was violent and I was just supposed to put up withit …take it , get on with. Well when it came for me to return home. From Iraq and it was a living nightmare… miserable. I was thrown straight back to work driving personnel to and from The RAF airports. The adds wanna was my mother n father in law were always I’n our marred quarter. Putting me on the spot as they wanted to see more of my step daughter. Put us under undue pressure…(we hadn’t even had a hineymooI’d been married a month, then went to Iraq for 7 months. O honey just grief from here at every opportunity. I got back after a park h uk army rough tour Making me feel guilty as they wanted to see more of their first grand child as my baby was o.still not born, but the most awful thing that haloed was we as a physicaly but host home were she attacked me, I restrained her on several occasions. Under extreme provocation, we had a terrible argument… one time I lost my temper when she attacked me for having an opinion attacked me viscously and irrationally that I did retaliate with a slap and ended grab her by the neck and threw her out. I’ve learnt that her parents are the enablers, constantly throwing money at any problems…I look back and I’m so grateful I was strong enough to do everything the court asked me. I found that the management course was such a help so after the court sanctioned course I volunteered another year. She makes it hard to my children but they’re getting. Older and I have faith they’ll come one day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge it really helps 🤗🙏🏽 the only saving Grace is that these people do get the karma… eventually somewhere down the line they pay for what they do 🤗

[@PsychedToknow-qw7cb]

Wow! Again, this was spot on! The cryptic messages thing was interesting. My ex seemed to weave cryptic messages into her chats with me -- it was as if she was giving me clues to her lies. Sinister. The part about gaslighting was so, so accurate -- her gaslighting was really, really bad; I just can't believe that she had the cheek to do that yet expect complete honesty from me. "You'll never lie to me, will you?" was a favourite line of hers. And then, of course, there was her colossal controlling behaviour, which was largely connected to her massive paranoia over other women -- it just goes on and on! I don't regret learning all of this info, though; it's helped me unravel a tremendous amount of stuff, and so now I know almost exactly what's going on -- family patterns and all that. I wish that I'd known it all back when I was in my late teens. Thank you so much, Lise; your content is excellent. ❤💯

[@MENTALHEALTHWITHLUKE]

Absolutely spot on. One of the best videos on this sick subject I've seen. And I've seen hours upon hours of these videos. I've subscribed to numerous channels. I swapped my addiction to my ex for this sick disease. Everything you have said in the order you delivered is my experience. For those who are still unsure and recently discarded. Yes, it's wrong to diagnose, but it's what they do after discard that really let's you know. DARVO is one of their most spiteful tools. You may think it's finally over, but just keep your wits about you. Great video, thank you 👌🏻💙

[@bengarciamusic4life]

Thank you, I've been researching on this topic for 5 years now. I always seem to end up renting from a narcissistic woman. You explain this in a way I can understand a little better. Thank you for making these videos

[@lionelsmith6133]

I have just finished a 3 month stint with a narc and if it wasn't for days off to get away and clear my head and do some research I'd still be in it. I was in the middle of discard so I'm glad I found all this out . I don't ever want to see or talk to her again .

[@AFK62-u7e]

My narc sister has been poking me for weeks. She's been trying to get a reaction out of me, but I'm keeping my boundaries as tight as possible. Her ex husband finally got away, and I'm so happy for him. She put him through the ringer. Thank you for your invaluable knowledge!! ❤

Bravo (and thank you). As always : very smart, authentic and useful/helpful content,dear Lise.

[@clintonnagy1662]

Yes, Lise, Before this video I was thinking grandiose narcissist. This covert narcissist reeled me in hook line and sinker. It was a whole new game dealing with a vunerable narc. Unfortunately, I didnt know the games being played. Something felt " off " but she was beautiful and a guy like me doesnt attract women of her caliper. I was flattered she wanted me. It was hard to say NO.

[@loganireland6655]

I'm so glad I found your channel 18 months ago. Your videos gave me the "aha moment" I needed exactly when I needed it. Your channel along with 1 on 1 therapy, group therapy, many hours of videos, podcasts and audio books plus a lot of reading have helped me get farther down the path of healing than I otherwise would be and in all likelihood, your videos saved my life. I can't thank you enough.

[@esslar]

I got love bombed 6 months ago. She slept with me on the first night. She told me that she loved me in the first month. A few weeks ago she woke up randomly screaming crying at 5am because she said I didn't care about her chrones disease blood infusion even though I took a day off from work to take her to the hospital and to stay with her while she was weak from the infusion. It was my second time doing such a thing amongst other sacrifices like driving to see her when she lives 60 miles away multiple times a week. She never ever asked me questions about my life or my family or my childhood. I wish I found this channel a year ago. 😢🎉

[@RedMedic1972]

On point as always. 9 months later and things still kick me in the gut. It takes time to come to terms with the fact that it was all a lie - well the good parts, if they can even be called that - because nothing was genuine.

[@demigaines5644]

Thank you So Very Much For Sharing This Helped Me Tremendously After Spending Yrs Wanting Acceptance From the Narcissit. I'm Finally Learning To Detach This Really Helped Me

[@ronpintx]

*The silver lining* In the absence of True Love -- the heartbreak of the *discard* was mollified by the lack of contrast between her "love" -- and the removal of it. 'Can't miss what you never had -- but you can still long for it. Actually I'm calling it a supernatural miracle that my heart has been shielded from her demon. I do bleed for those bleed -- I know that all too well.

[@davidrichard2761]

You seem to have so much insight. I.e., don’t really know if the lady I’ve been going out with.. I thought more than friends with …could be called NPD. However, after four years of on/ off, been blocked, unblocked, et cetera, et cetera as you described, I have always come back happily, but to my surprise, something was said to me about my character That caused me to switch off and all you say about the introspection and the research is all true, just as you describe.

[@northernsegageorge6510]

Their pathological lying is brutal. I ended the "relationship" then endured the hoovering and it ranged from fake pregnancy to self delete to the most recent one being her claiming she has terminal cancer. I am in therapy now due to her. Evil evil twisted wrecks is all they are.

[@MarkFlanagan-h1o]

First time they give you silent treatment; take that opportunity to pack your bags, or theirs. Their using it as pretense to pursue other supply. Get out NOW! Dont even argue. Dont allow any explanation. I'm giving you the explanation. This is your closure! Block them. Ghost them. Whatever. Just NEVER talk to them again .

Change impossible. 10 yrs with diagnosed borderline, me believing change was possible led to much unneeded suffering. Now I know. Miserable people, selfish to core, yet they hate themselves and take it out on you.

[@lorishu48103]

So well Done ! Excellent content

[@skybengal]

My god, this is 100% accurate. Sad that we appear like lambs to the slaughter for these people. 4.5 years for me down the toilet. I’m ashamed of myself for being scammed. My only saving grace is that in the final year I gave her her own medicine and reached into myself to fight back with my own inner narc qualities. I learned the art of NO and I hinted I was about to walk away and that made her dump me The laughable part was that she said the reason she was dumping me was we argue to much and it’s unhealthy. No shit Sherlock 😅

[@Nomiwa-ug9ru]

I can't just believe, before i get love bombed... actually came up on suggestion on my TikTok.. about narcissist video.. before getting on relationship with them... it's really like they make us we always think about them... doubt whether they think about us or not.. It's really feel stuck you know, they won't let you go easily as i currently facing...when something fights happen, next day would be normal like nothing happens.. oh damn.. always end with no answers... it's really scary.. it's better leave them rather live with them.. emotionally draining...

[@tothemoon8465]

Thank you! You could think about changing out "love bombing" to "love leveraging" .. Could be a better fit and help ppl get unstuck sooner. (Credit to R. Grannon) Much love

[@samanified]

Thank you. Your videos have been very helpful in my current phase. I just found out a week earlier that she is already back with her ex and also found she might have gotten back with her ex the next day after the breakup.

[@kalingakrishna2705]

Five years ago, my narcissistic friend traumabonded me in order to make me become his brother in law. He traumabonded me with the help of mesmerism. Final discard took place one year ago. And after the happening of that(final discard), I have learnt a lot about narcissism and narcissistic abuse.

[@gangGreenthumb]

Towards the end of the 11 year relationship, intimacy became blatantly transactional. Mere moments after intimacy, she told me to check her Amz wishlist. It felt fake, and cheap, and icky. I was disgusted.

[@pqrstzxerty1296]

Issue is difference befween lovebombing, good dating, and good loving relationship, as many think a romantic in dating is / see it as lovebombing.

[@AntonSilv]

Okay hold up. I'm gonna stop you on the first one. Healthy love SHOULD be conditional or transactional. Both parties should have some level of expectations from their partners, and when those expectations aren't met consistently, after long communication, it's perfectly valid to leave the relationship.

[@willrich4765]

It was love at first site. She wanted everything I was searching for in a relationship. And the best part was she wanted it with me. She talked about us to moving in together and even marriage. Soon after, I noticed the coldness in her eyes. She had a flat personality when ever I spoke and she was never really interested in what I had to say much. When she got drunk, she was really rude and defensive. Even on sober days, it was hard to complement her. She would get defensive. The lows definitely outweighed the highs for sure. She was always on edge for nothing! It’s like she refused to just be happy. She expected me to shower her with love and adoration while she fed me nothing but crumbs. She wanted gifts, flowers, dinners, and date nights from (me) as her way of making things up to (me) because she was rude and nasty! Like what!? … In other words, her way of apologizing and making things up to me was to let me take her out! And the worst part was, she expected me to just shut up about how she was treating me and just except her apology. Her complaint was no matter what she did, it’s never enough for me! Her rude behavior continued every weekend, until I left. Moreover she still tries to this very day to suck me back in smh.

Same i got discarded after 6 years and after putting thousands of hours and dollars in renovations into a house we bought. She went and got an appraisal that way over valued the house, i got my own and still had to pay her out 70k. Never thought she’d do that to me in a million years.

[@histreasure3189]

​@@thatdudecaSadly as they say, the woman that divorced you isn't the same woman you married. That's probably the only true explanation for how vicious some become on the way out of the marriage. Just my 2cents!

[@nathanaellanham3613]

@@histreasure3189although most aint willing to actually get trapped by the legal responsibilities of marriage -- not that they would tell you that while there is most manipulation to be gained .. then they act like their interest in pursuing you for marriage was just bullsh*t just like them having any loyalty commitment or compassion

[@AugustusTiberius-tq1gw]

I thought that my X was genuine until she left me for a rebound guy after a few years together. "Down with love" It's been 6 months. She hasn't hovered me yet. I don't think she will return because she has exposed herself to me.

[@sosyrobinson2636]

I have to say this…if you were discarded you are damaged. You chose to stay until you were given the boot. Otherwise you would still be in that mess. Fix yourself or your life will be hell on earth based on your lack of self reflection and accountability for your own life and repairing the damage of your past or childhood.

[@KY-jb4vd]

just received an email notice of separation from my narc husband of 26 years today. 3 kids still at home and I have been toughing it out as I have learned about narcissism over the past 5 years and now can't unsee it. But trying to get through the project of raising our kids to college age despite the difficulty. His reason for the separation notice out of the blue? We had an argument yesterday in which he went off on our oldest son for very little reason and it lasted hours.. door slamming, shouting, swearing, the works (husband doing all that not the son ofc). Now says it's my fault he got so worked up because I didn't support him against our son. THis has been a constant refrain.. if I don't support him in bullying our kids (esp the scapegoat), then all hell breaks loose. I didn't and don't support him in that so - discard I guess. Feels strange and like a surreal waste of 26 years minus the 3 beautiful kids. Oh and this video brought his comment today to focus: what value do i get in staying married to you? (Because i am a sahm so clearly it's all about the money now that youth has gone and the work of kids is finishing up). Transactional and conditional indeed. Just hard to process all at once.

[@Sweetpea-2023]

Get a good lawyer. He probably planned and used the argument as an excuse. Have you discovered the other woman yet? They don’t leave unless they have another one waiting in the wings.
