    the narcissist treated you nicely until he didn't. they have just one speed. what the new supply has is temporary. just like you. don't envy them; don't be jealous. it's a waste of emotion. concentrate on you. leave the misery behind. look for the peace you deserve.

    I went no contact for two year. The narc moved onto a new supply who he termed “his princess”. She got income cars and jewelry. One day we made contact to settle a health insurance issue. He told me all about her. I was jealous but didn’t let on. Before I knew it he was hovering me back and I fell if for no other reason but damage control for the financial chaos he was causing. One of the things that hurt me was a poem he wrote to her that was sensitive and deep. Deeper then I ever witnessed. Today I found the poem on line. It was plagiarized. Typical.

    Whenever you are feeling bothered by thoughts of the new supply, take a mind adventure to the past, to the beginning of your relationship with the narcissist. Remind yourself how great you felt initially and then remind yourself of how you are feeling *right now*. Remind yourself of all the things that happened to make you feel how you feel right now, of how your dreams turned to dust.
    And know that the new supply will now have to learn the same lessons you did. There is nothing to be jealous or envious of here - just compassion and empathy for the devastation the new supply will ultimately endure.

    People have to remember that it's a never-ending cycle for the narcissist. It's just part of the patter that they repeat over and over again. Narcissists can't just move on. They have to always seek out attention from older sources of supply to build up their low self esteem. Also, the narcissist is ALWAYS in need of supply. They can never be alone. They are weak and butthurt individuals!

    My narcissistic ex, started another relationship when we were still together. After the break up I could see from afar that the relationship was a mess. But still something in me was telling me “what if thy are actually happy,” “what if he is actually changing” as the new supply kept saying. However, a few months after they broke up and the new supply came to me cause they wanted to talk about everything that has happened in their relationship. It turns out that my ex was driving them crazy. Their relationship was a fast and furious version of mine. Since the beginning they had a lot of labs for tris together and stuff. But things started to fall apart almost since the beginning. The was more gaslighting, more irritability, less respect for boundaries than in my relationship. I’m not going to lie hearing the new supply story gave me relief and closure!

    It looks like they are treating them better and giving them everything you thought you wanted from the narcissist, because they are doing it to get under your skin. But like with you, they can never be happy because they don’t even like themselves and they are empty.

      HD Tudor states that the average narc does what they do as defense mechanisms or instinct. There are those who know who they are and what they do and they don't care how they impact others. The rest act out of instinct that they developed as children to get a small percentage of the needs the adults in their lives were not meeting met. Do to George Simmons material I had adopted the belief Narcs knew exactly what they were doing and did it on purpose. I think there are those who indeed do, but the large number of them do not. I do think they do know what has worked to get them their way and they do some things with the knowledge, but it's more because they are entitled to get their way and have things there way because their way is so superior. They are aware that society doesn't approve of their behavior, but that's because society just understand.

    You made such a profound point when you said "he may treat the new supply better because there's some benefit there for him". I remember when I was dumped out of the blue for someone else. I almost died, all I kept asking was where was this person all the time we where talking, what does she have that I don't? I had so many questions and no answers all he would do is stonewall and try to even shift blame to me. It blew my mind when I saw him put up pictures of them or her on his social media, I mean as far as I knew just a minute ago I was his everything I had no idea there was anyone on his radar. Then 6 months in they got married, all their friends and family congratulating them, I was so devastated. She was getting everything I wanted. And I didn't even know anything about narcissism but I started looking up the way I was being treated in order to understand what was happening to me, the lack of empathy especially. That's when I learned that what he was doing to me had names like gaslighting, stonewalling, blame shifting. But he wanted this person to file for him to migrate to another country. So she filed thinking she was chosen because she was better. The marriage lasted 1 year, 4 months after he landed he dumped her and later divorced her. Now he's dating other people and I suppose that "wife" is now looking up videos about narcissism in order to understand just happened to her. But the people he's trying to date seem smart because one of them just dumped him citing "red flags". They don't seem to change and they don't treat anyone great unless there's something in it for them.

My thing was she did real estate and she wasn't really good at it what I seen not to say just because. I just could tell from the editing and stuff. Yes I was the why and what was he thinking? But, it all started to make sense now. Do not get me wrong some can make good money and some don't make good money but, settle what they got. She settles what she got and she already had 4 to 5 kids before then. She was looking for a figure for her kids. She pick the wrong one. He only using her for a place to stay because I kicked him out. Plus, she believes his lies. She end up pregnant like a fool she is acting like they happy now? He abandoned the kids he had and she knew about me before I knew she even existed. She was a side. 🤔 A back up plan he not into but, uses when needed like the rest. He also, had 3 kids before me and I had one. We had two later on. I found out I was pregnant he knew and didn't bother to help out but, play fake family with her now. It's wild. I hope she knows she a homewrecker and he ain't nothing. He uses her for things he needs and now act like he has a business all of a sudden? He is using her. She will learn. I'm free from it. Thank you moron. Me and my kids will just be fine. Who's laughing now. Don't be surprised he leave one day and get more fools like you pregnant. I had to learn the hard way. She knew better then I did. She knew about me and knew not to get involved.

    Years ago, in grade school, there was a girl who always brought a bag of candy to school and she would pick out someone from amongst a group standing around her and share the candy with her/him while those of us stood around begging her for a MOJO or a Sweet Tart.

    The most healing act to take after a discard and/or break up either way from a narcissist, is to unfriend and either block or go silent. Don’t peek! Ever. Not knowing, not looking - this is so healing. This is the only way to have the last word with the narcissist and find closer. The only way. Keeping tabs is like pouring salt on a painful wound. Another way to speed up healing is to get out of the head where the rumination and addiction keeps one trapped. When painful withdrawals occur, transfer the pain to body and let the waves wash through U. Allow the temptation to text, call and/or peek at social media to pass and give it time . . . An hour or a few hours. You will realize that you are sooo thankful you didn’t give in. Little by little the healing happens. This is exactly like an addiction to overcome.

Yes, it was crazy-making (that word again) but I thought that it was me. That I was being sensitive and overthinking. That all that Law of Attraction stuff meant that I was responsible for my own 'negativity'. If only I could be more 'positive'.

      The problem is that the individual who is showing up is so far different then the person in the love bombing stage who we thought was a real individual, and the decline into devaluation is a slow one, with minor small incidents that seem so tiny and inconsistent with who we know them to be we explain away the behavior as accidental. We all know that at times we are inconsistent, and we so want to believe the person we thought them to be that to resolve the cognitive dissonance we explain away things, until finally the behavior is so inconsistent it hits us like a ton of bricks and we can see everything clear as night and day. What I've learned is if someone is treating me in a way that is stressful, regardless of the reason why ( abuse, bad childhood), I need to cut them from my life or give them a wide birth by not allowing them to be part of any type of intimate relationship. That was my bad explaining away the last narcs behavior due to her "childhood abuse."

Whatever it may be. I will tell you though. If you were only in the relationship for a year. Thank whoever it is you pray to man!!! And consider yourself very lucky! I spent 7 years with a Covert narc. And she destroyed my life in every way possible, before a truly horrible discard. Remember , especially with a Covert narc, that the good traits in you will attract a narc. Because they don't posses those traits, or the ability to cultivate them. And the person they presented to you wasn't a real person. Only bait, to convince you to care for them. If you are a good trusting person. You wouldn't think of doing anything like that. And therfore, don't typically consider someone else to be doing that to you! Hope you're doing well.

    I was dating a narcissist for about six months until it started to seem as though everything I did would annoy or anger her. One day I brought to her attention the fact that we weren't getting along like we used to and she blamed me for it. I told her that I felt that our relationship was toxic and I was breaking up with her. Unfortunately, it took an additional six months and a restraining order to get her out of my life completely.

      This is known as calling their bluff. Narcissists need to blame someone for their own self loathing. Once the victim realizes the narcissist seems to hate everything about them they suggest the only sensible thing to do which is end the relationship. The narcissist can't have that. They need a scapegoat.
      It's really crazy when you think about it. The narcissist needs a person to fill a specific role as human punching bag because they can't face themselves.

      I’m writing this a year later and went through exactly the same thing this year. Social media is his playground and he just married his affair partner. I’ve been learning about NPD for 6 months and I’m finally letting go of the trauma bond. Bottom line: the new supply is with HIM! I know him and he’s moody and an alcoholic with sex/porn addictions. I’d never wish to be in her place. She wanted him so bad,,,,, she won! 🤣

I have been harassed, verbally attacked by these individuals and as of Sunday I realized that he has manipulated a mentally disabled woman to use a key for my apartment that went missing about a month and a half ago to come into my apartment when I'm gone. This woman has stole 2 debit cards from me in 2 seperate episodes. My inhaler and some hand cream went missing about a month ago and the inhaler suddenly appeared in plain site on Saturday night. I had my new debit card on Friday evening and on Sunday when I was out I noticed it was gone. This woman has been going in when I am doing laundry and or when I am at my dads or visiting a friend in the building. Locks were changed yesterday, I called the police when I noticed the new card missing again but of course I am not believed by the police but they took the report and suggested I get a order of protection and management has now assured me that I can brake the lease under these circumstances. It certainly is unfair that I need to move again because of this asshole and his flying monkeys but I am looking and tying to figure out what the best answer is for me. I feel violated and they are not using the debit cards they are doing this to play mind games and keep me unbalanced. My father is unwilling to move so even if I move I will have return almost daily to make sure he is ok. These narcs are sick, sick SICK.

      The narc thinks with each new relationship that maybe they have met the perfect person. They take a snapshot of us in their mind of that perfect person, and from then on they relate to that perfect snapshot of who they believe us to be. Inevitably the new supply ends up disappointing them, and showing them they are not the perfect person who will love them regardless of their horrible behavior.

    • @bradmcewen
      @bradmcewen Před 3 lety +1

      @@brendakauffman2222 The comparison to that "snapshot" does happen early and that's when by any standard one is at their best. Not unrealistic, just well groomed, dressed, etc. Still the suggestions start yet I or we do not return the banter. Its impolite and usually and should be a turn off.
      It may be why they keep a harem. A little bit of every personality and type. I kinda think the serial cerebral narc can reflect somewhat yet the habituality, probably ingrained from childhood of living on a pedestal has done them more harm than good. But I'm sure that's not their opinion, it's always everyone else inadequacies. But, you do get educated in the early clues not to miss again.

    What my covert narcissist ex partner does with her life I really don't care anymore. It was one big façade she performed. My ex is also someone who doesn't use social media because she acts 'under the radar'. Otherwise she will be exposed very quickly. It is sad that narcissists keep using (most of the time) honest people who want the best for the other in a relationship. I had a relationship for eight months but it felt in the end as if it was for five years or more. Certainly the last two months. What some experienced during a long life relationship with all the positive and less positive moments, I had them in eight months. I am so happy I have my life back. All it takes is to take a first step. It is your life. Good luck.

I am pretty sure he was cheating on me cuz before we split he accused me of cheating. I didn’t put 2 and 2 together until later. But just wanted to comment that my ex and his new pawn are traveling around and going to places I wanted to go but we never did. Now I’m thinking he only held back traveling to hurt me cuz it was what I wanted to do. Now he is trying to hurt me by doing it with his new pawn. Maybe that’s what is happening to you too.

    This is so interesting. I was in a relationship with someone who, from watching your videos, was an ABSOLUTE covert narcissist, and I would block them on my social accounts so I could detox from them, but they would get so angry and challenge me on why I did that as if it was so unreasonable and immature. I would eventually unblock them after feeling bad, but they didn’t necessarily follow me. It was like they just wanted access to me and my life. And now that I have seen these videos, I realize they wanted to stay in my line of sight in order to stay on my mind, even if I wasn’t on theirs.

    This is so true . I’m not on social media and live in a totally different city - so he had no way , for months , of rubbing the new girlfriend in my face . 6 months after getting with her - he must have been desperate for me to see her or know her name . Which I never ever wondered or cared about . Then WHAM an email AND a what’s app on the same night .... ( new number obviously) ramming her name and face into my life when I’d not even spoken to him for months and was no contact . As I type that - it’s so obvious reading it what he was trying to do . It came with a cleverly written email , crafted to look like a response . Begging me not to break them up !?! I had not even contacted him and knew nothing of her ?!?? I couldn’t tell you if they’re still together or not . What I can tell you is - she was welcomed into his family in a way I was not . I now know that I was isolated from them because he’d told me so many lies about himself I could have said something and his mum or sister would have thought ‘what!??’ He lies from waking to sleeping and it made me go insane . Even faking stories and tears about a selling a house he actually hadn’t owned for many years . Lies lies lies .... I feel sorry for her if she’s still in it ..... because If she is ..... the mask is yet to slip. It slipped fast with me because I started answering back . Started questioning lies . Didn’t match to his beat ( said no to a marriage proposal in week 3). As I type this ...... I am in no doubt that I was dealing with a very needy , disordered , manipulative individual. I was just clever enough to know it . I came of my pedestal fast . The new girlfriend has much higher to fall than me ........ I hope she’s okay and isn’t sat there now absolutely wringing her hands or taking daily abuse and stalking . My being stalked stopped abruptly. Because she arrived as fresh supply . How can I possibly be wrong that this guy is a narcissist. And narcissists DO NOT CHANGE. Even if it’s 6 years from now - I could hear from that lunatic . It only takes for her to shun him for him to open his toy box to see who he can play with . He’s done it before with others before me. Once you’re out . Stay out !!!! Even if it’s years that have passed and they come crawling back . Never bend . 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

    A narcissist never stops narcissistic traits when going new supply the narcissist observes their character type finding weaknesses where they could take control there they may alter narcissistic behavior rhythm and if they reconnect also previous source they usually try control both and play both against the other using both different character traits using demoralizing traits and gossip weaknesses it’s awful I had this with a ex partner and tried reconnecting as a friend thought it would work ok but it was awful he used to say his girlfriend is very lazy he was very heavily critical of her. He did same about me to her it wasn’t pleasant it’s very difficult to deal with that bombshell of the other. It was difficult to be friends with his girlfriend or his girlfriend to be friends with me but I was good with mindfulness I actually ignored his patronizing behavior play off his girlfriend was a good person she could cook good meals she wasn’t lazy she was had a mental disorder that she fear going out. I looked upon her from my own observance not his I see her differently from his version and could see clearly he was targeting a weaknesses area twisted it nature
