 The reason why the narcissist discarded you. The reason why they left you and moved on to someone else. The reason why the narcissist discarded you is because you were no longer useful or desirable. Narcissists cannot be satisfied and they get bored very easily. So regardless of how useful or desirable you were to them in the beginning, at some point things were going to change. The narcissist knows from the beginning that at some point it is going to end. They have had relationships before and they always end in the same way. At some point people begin to figure them out. They begin to realize what they're really about and that is when they begin to take a step back. That is when they stop giving the narcissist the attention they crave and need. This is a huge blow to the narcissist's ego. It makes them feel worthless and insignificant. It destroys the false image that they have created to protect themselves. When you stop interacting with them in the way that you did before, it reveals that they were the problem. You no longer desire to give them attention and affection as you once did before. Because they disrespected you, they diminished the attraction that you once had towards them with their dysfunctional behaviors. But of course they are not going to self-reflect or look within. They are not going to accept or acknowledge that they were the problem. Deep down they already know that they have an issue. And that is why they created their false self which is meant to be everything that they are not. Everything they wish they were. When you try to confront them, you are confronting their false self. You are confronting someone who believes that they can do no wrong. Someone who believes that they are perfect. No matter what you say or how you say it, they are not going to acknowledge that they made a fault or mistake. They have to deny any criticisms or accusations that you make against them. They have to shift the blame onto you. They have to project their insecurities onto you. They have to gas like you into believing that they never said or did something. And this is all designed to protect their false self. It is all designed to protect their image and reputation because that is the only thing that really matters to the narcissist. How other people view them. Because the way in which other people view them affects the way in which they view themselves. And that is why the narcissist discarded you. To save their image. To protect their false self. They may have made you believe that they cared about you. But when you begin to notice cracks in their armor, that is when they will turn against you. That is when they will begin to point out your faults and mistakes. Your flaws and imperfections. And they will smear your name to get everyone to see you in the same way. Not because they are trying to protect themselves. They don't even care about or even respect themselves. They abandoned who they really are a long time ago. All they really care about is their false self. The false image they created to replace the flawed person that they used to be. They will go to war for their false self. They will do whatever it takes to protect this grandiose, exaggerated view of themselves. Because not only is it everything that they ever wanted to be. But it is also the only part of them that they ever left. Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon.
