  • In this video, I will give you 10 signs that you've been emotionally discarded, and at the end of this video, I will also give you the REAL reason you are being discarded. If you can understand and accept this one thing, it will put an end to your confusion.
    10 signs for why people with untreated narcissistic personality disorder emotionally discard their partners. I also discuss the REAL reason behind why narcissists discard their partners. Dating someone with an untreated cluster B personality disorder can be extremely difficult, confusing, and even painful. Knowing these signs and understanding the reason that narcissists behave the way they do can help you to see what's happening to you and to decide whether or not you want to continue living this way.

      14 years with that psychopath. It almost killed me and I'm not exaggerating. It's been over for about four and a half years now. Things got a lot better but I still have that bed once in awhile. Mostly I just hate myself for putting up with it. Her life went to s***in fact she was diagnosed with lung cancer and quickly died. I know it sounds bad but that really is not my problem. Besides that it's relieving knowing they'll never be another Hoover!

      7 times my friends, still believing it is love, which is interpretated that I am the NPD, these psycho games, she has BPD and all these psycho analyses explain a lot, but is telling also a lot about yourself, so next to the Hurt of descarding, you lost letterlijk your sense of who you are. But it is spiritual. Because it is in her, in me, in others, in church, in church doctrine and than finding yourself again and God. Because in the beginning and the end he is my source, not a girl or wife or church or any other person.

    After I was discarded I was so emotionally unstable. I've never felt so imbalanced. In the past when relationships ended I was sad or heartbroken, but I was always able to move on with a strong sense of self-respect.
    This time, it was like I was erased. I was so sad and angry that I wanted to die. That had never happened before in my life, so I knew it was temporary, but it was so disorienting.
    It took about two years of therapy but I'm back to what I consider to be my normal, happy, confident self. Looking back on the experience is terrifying and baffling.
    If you're out of this kind of relationship, stay strong.

    Never having had any experience with narcissism, once it happened to me, I became obsessed with trying to find out what the person I loved and assumed loved me really was. Through a process of elimination I found she was a covert with some extra spicey bits. We were only together six months. Any longer and she would have killed me. Took three years of deep internal work to recover.
    What I find remarkable is the similarities; its like a hive mind. They all behave in exactly the same way. The stories of survivors are always something I could have written myself.

      I ran across one of these sociopath's years ago and it was the most confusing relationship ever! Nothing like a master manipulater full of lies and deciet. The other guy that she was playing almost beat her up after finding out the truth. The scariest part is how she kept coming back playing both guy's trying to convince us that things were on her terms until "someone put a ring on her finger". With no contact and people moving out of town it finally resolved.

    Thank You. You just described the ten years of pure hell that I went through with my ex-wife. And I walked out on her. And I divorced her. And I chose to shut her out of my life forever because she was so verbally abusive and emotionally abusive. And she was violent and unpredictable. And she was vengeful and revengeful and vindictive. And she was cold hearted and heartless and cruel. And she was demanding and controlling and possessive. She called me a momma’s boy and a coward and a looser. And after ten years of her fussing at me and arguing with me and fighting with me and picking fights with me I finally woke up and realized that she was just using me for a doormat and walking all over me. Thank GOD I finally reached my breaking point and told her that I had enough. And that I wasn’t going to take it anymore. The mind games and guilt trips along with the bitching and complaining and blaming and accusing was just too much for me to bare. And I had to divorce her to keep her from destroying me mentally and emotionally and financially. These narcissists and sociopaths and psychopaths are wicked and evil. Thank You for exposing these toxic people to the world. This video helped me in my healing journey back to me. No more arguing. And no more fights. And I will never, ever allow her back into my life to pick another fight with me again. Thank’s Again. And GOD Bless. GOD IS GOOD. And Jesus Is Lord.

    I'm blown away by all of this. It gives context to my last relationship. This was her exactly. The love and sex bombing at the beginning. "Please stay with me" she would say when I would go see her, "I miss you when you're not around". Amazing, mind-blowing sex, affection, attention... and all of that transformed into abandonment and complete lack of empathy, and would barely make any effort only when she wanted something from me. The last time was that I take her to Houston to visit her family. She was so sweet and affectionate the weeks leading up to the trip, then as soon as it was over, stone-cold, cruel.

I found out and she abandoned me in the city for the remainder of my vacation (I'm from UK so know noone there). Not so much as an apology. We've known each other and were dating on/off for six years. She literally leaves me in our airbnb alone and stays at other guys house. Truely horrific. The betrayal plus the complete abandonment. This was less than a week ago. I sat in thst airbnb alone for a week near the galleria just drinking.

    They will triangulate you with other men. They will buy small gifts for other men and just say they are friends. Under handed compliments slowly turn into out right disrespect for you personally and all things that you like. They will avoid getting close to you, whether its sitting on the couch together, or pulling back from a kiss, or walking with them and you turn to speak to them and they are standing 20 feet behind you. They will bring up past lovers and tell you how big they were, how hard they were how rich they were.....ultimately they will connive behind your back, start seeing other people behind you back, and then cut you off in a heart beat. Just be glad they are gone, no loss here, that is a win!

    I met this girl in January this year. Started to chat and hit eachother up quickly. Talked on the phone for hours. Decided to meet for a date. It was just magic. She just was so into me. She love bombed me. Told me what a man I was. That I was good looking and all this. So we continued to date. I went to her place and we just had a great time. Great sex and just held one and other all the time. It was amazing. And so it was for about three months. I felt so good. Like this really could be something for me. Something special. We talked somewhat about the future that she wanted me to move with her where she was from originaly in our country. Many miles upnorth that is. I really considered it a possibilty. Even though it meant changing my whole life.
    But just like that over a week she turned cold. Hardly texted me. Never called. So I texted her asking if everything is alright? She just came with every excuse under the sun. "Its such chaos right now, I dont see us working out" blablabla. She said she had feelings for me but could not see it work out.
    I was totally taken a back. The adrenaline I felt in my stomach and initial pain that hit me was just horrific. I thought everything was so good? I didnt think she loved me already, sure. But I sure thought she really was into me.
    I chatted with her brother and he told me she had a history of doing this. She only have had destructive boyfriends besides me he told me. It was like her mask fell of after a while. Like the person I saw this whole time wasnt even real. Its like I am crying over something that didnt happen in real life. It was such a surreal situation. I really thought we was at the same page. I can only reasure I was me the whole time.
    The things she did and said under our short time together for example was. She bought things for her dogs to my place so it wouldnt be a hazzle to bring stuff with her when she came over. She told me at the gym when we were there that she better workout so she could keep me around. Like jokingly and flirty you know. She asked me if we were a couple and I said happily yes to her so she surprised me with going official with me on FB the next day which made me very happy. She met with my sister since they knew eachother as kids. They aparently talked about us moving together in the future. A week later she told me all this that she had to break it of after all the silent treatment from her.
    When I soon realized that I met a narc that just had what she needed from me and then discarded me like this. It was just horrid.
    Why play up that you want someone and then just discard me like I am nothing just as I am feeling confident in us being together. I would never do that to anyone. I was so broken while she went on with her life like she dropped an icecream cone on the ground. She posted pictures and all this like usual like nothing had happened. So I went no contact.
    A month has passed and I feel a little better. But man did that hit me bad. I still have a feeling inside that it feels so unreal. How can you do that to people?

      Your ex is a very broken person. Emotionally, mentally and morally. Normal good people don’t do what she did. I faced a similar situation. My ex Love bombed me, bought gifts, brought lunch to work, very affectionate on dates. Then when I thought everything was going in a good direction, she pulled the rug out from under me.

    Wow! You are amazing. 25 years of living with a covert narcissist has finally ended. Not because I told her I wasn’t going to allow her to ruin my retirement or that she packed her bags and abandoned me but because I refused to allow her access to ME. That’s when she realized she lost me. Since then I started dating a doctor who works in the field of social work. And, genuinely cares and understands me but more importantly understands what a covert narcissist has done to me and my self esteem. In less than a year I have published two books and started my own business but more importantly rekindled my relationship with my son which she tried to destroy. My son, on his own, now sees her for whom she is. And, I’m grateful for that. Thank you for validating all that I have gone through and now see as liberation. Amen! Keep up the great work.

We saw them and the child's father at least once a week for over 6 years. She ended that. I haven't seen my grandson in a year, and she continues to harass me. There is an "out of nowhere" aspect attached to her words and actions that defies logic. Every time my wife and I visited our daughters house, we arrived and left with hugs, kisses, and "I love you." How much of that was fake on her part? When did she begin to hate me so intensely that she would take her son out of my life and me out of his? I miss him like crazy, but the level of toxicity emitting from his mother is simply too crazy to be around.

      The friend thing is a common ploy. It's to keep you as a backup servant, in case they get desperate for money or attention in the future. It also keeps you available for triangulation with the other men of her harem. Finally, she can use you to play the psycho stalker, in order to make herself look like a highly prized victim to other men. Mine would fabricate crazy accusations against me over the phone, so the guy she was with would hear it. It was so disgustingly and disturbingly obvious. I know what it sounds like when she's acting. I later found out from some of the boyfriends who contacted me that she had shared texts from me, which were either altered or shared out of context. Then she'd have the pity party with them, and tell them that only they could love the pain out of her from my abuse.

      Too true. It's come to a point when so many beautiful modern women just casually use alot of narcism ways I know they can't all be narcissists but since my experience me being a guy who before my narc was gentle, understanding, kind. I thought I was a rock a gentleman a patient lover. Now I don't feel like any of those things and girls call me "asshole" when I give them back what they dish out to me. So many girls that aren't narcs block without a word and effectively use silent treatment through blueticking. It always drives me crazy. I can understand being busy. But so many women aren't genuine they don't tell you the truth or be straight they ignore you if you make effort in messages.. Spam you if you leave them. They will ignore you when you send nice messages until you ask what's up and almost 100% every woman goes I'm BUSY!!!!! Then launch into a tirade about they have work, kids, and can't just drop everything for you.... they will sarcastically say sorry. No woman will allow me to speak to her like that. But it seems a pandemic sooo many women feel like they can talk to you like shit? Narc behaviour when they do not have the disorder. Ive lost all faith in a decent woman being decent to me. They exist. But they only really seem to be the great women I grew up thinking all women are when they already in a relationship. If one is interested in me it's usually for an entirely surface reason.... they think I'm some sexy version of a guy I'm not. When I show chinks in the armour I'm not worth even trying to see if it can work on they just give up. Trying so hard to understand it's not like I hand pick narcs but going for women most men would consider quality has destroyed me. It's not worth the once off great sex I can't do 2 weeks of you an amazing man then done stints anymore. Id feel shit because I wouldn't be attracted to a large woman, so maybe I'll stay single for life.

    Hi. I've watched quite a few of your videos on the narcissist. I'm a man. I just told a covert narcissist girl I've been seeing to f*ck off. I'm sick and tired of her seesaw, ever changing disposition, complete non-accountability, and redirection of blame on me.... not to mention how I always seem to make everything about me -- all of these tactics having been clearly brought up as typical narcissist behavior in your previous videos -- almost verbatim. I finally decided to hit her hard with the truth that I can no longer tolerate her behavior. It had literally become way too much for me to tolerate any more.
    She is a highly intelligent and articulate, not to mention beautiful woman. And, she is highly creative. We are both fine artists. Yet, I laid down the hammer hard on her. After attempting so many times to speak rational sense and logic throughout the relationship, she would more often than not reply with either "that's not true," or, "you don't understand me!" Or, she would constantly make suggestions on how I could improve myself. I can't tell you how many times I've heard each.
    Just a couple of days ago, she invited me to a special place that I've always wanted to be with her. It really meant a lot to me, and had suggested that our trust could be strengthened, and our relationship could grow to a more evolved level. Then, by the next day, she spun a web of of criticism and trying to blame me for a host of my inadequacies while needing to improve myself in life in order to truly qualify and deserve such an invitation. So, she reneged the very next day after creating a series of arguments that included some hurtful judgements upon me. Finally, I just couldn't take her bull$h!t anymore. She had set me up, including maps of hotels while I found restaurants for a wonderful dinner, then took it all away. This is something I deem as emotional abuse.
    She had already betrayed me by having sex with some sleaze ball.. and then lied about it. I caught her in the lie, and she finally admitted to it. After so much drama and vacillating swings in her ever-changing dispositions, I decided to call it quits after nearly a year.
    The only way I knew how to hopefully make it stick was to resort to some heavy C-word statements -- because, IMHO, trying to reason with her had always failed. I figured that a verbal spanking might open her eyes in shock to what she's been doing to me. What she has put me through has been a pure mind f*ck of manipulation while intermittently pulling on my emotional strings with love bombs, and then resorting to making me feel as though I had a lot of work to do to improve myself as to gain ground with her. It's as though I was on her continual campaign of acquiescing to her needs in order to deserve her affection and trust. Frankly, when I think about it, I'm ashamed at myself for how much I had bent over backwards to try and accommodate her. So, I finally made the preemptive move by cutting the cord.
    Yes, it hurts, and I'm wondering if I was too harsh. However, with so many videos on CZcams that describe the narcissist, and how they will abandon their prey at some point, I haven't seen any videos on how a man can take the initiative to cut the cord and walk away. Maybe this might inspire an expert on the subject to take this theme into consideration.

      Met a beautiful young woman who had several issues that she explained to me… amazing first year… the best year of my life… incredible sex constantly… then all the demands started… she had her “needs”… two more years of wacky behavior before we split.
      Then I met a single mom with 4 kids. After we got to know each other she told me that I was such a nice guy that woman preyed on guys like me for control. She blamed her ex for destroying her life.
      She through sex on me like crazy for a year.. as soon as o told her that I loved her she immediately Withdrew… things got really weird… so weird that I started making notes… the sex became infrequent but always intense and incredible. She started emotionally stringing me alone, blaming me for everything while displaying all of the vulnerable narcissistic traits.
      I’ve had to distance myself but oddly enough she comes around every 4-6 weeks for sex. Then she asks where we stand. I always say… “you’ve got some explaining to do”… she says there are no explanations.
      So to some degree we just use each other for sex.

      Goodness gracious. I’m sorry you both are experiencing this. I compiled playlists on my CZcams account with some of my favorite content regarding Narcissistic Abuse etc. None belongs to me, I just saved them and give the info to other survivors. It breaks my heart that so many people go through this nightmare.
      My advice….
      Run & don’t look back from these women. They’re only going to get worse. They don’t care about anything but getting their needs met. It’s the most bizarre behavior but I’ve experienced it (in my ex husband). The first time ANYONE cheats, LEAVE. Don’t make the mistake that I did & stay (for the kids). They will punish you more for going back to them. In their sick & disordered minds they truly believe we deserve the abuse bc we’re stupid enough to take it. I learned the hard way. But I know what never to accept again. Save yourself and quietly go NO CONTACT from these fools. They’re nothing but spawns of Satan. I speak from 20 years experience and a decade of studying personality disorders. We can heal but they cannot. Zero accountability, zero remorse, zero happiness comes with them. Yes, they go for kind good people with value bc they have none. It’s hurts like hell but after so many years and a lot of healing you realize they targeted you bc you’re damn awesome and they know deep down that they are worthless, pathetic, disgusting parasites. They envy the traits we possess, that’s why they slowly break us down. Took me almost 2 decades to truly recognize this and FEEL it. Y’all aren’t alone, that I can promise. Never give up. You’ve both got this! 🙏

    I love the part about stopping trying to figure out why they discarded you.....I went around that painful mountain with a friend (again) Interesting that they tried to say that I distanced myself. Gaslighting on top of it all. I knew that was manipulation.

      Of course I was her soulmate at first. Haunting how she was super cold like a flick of a switch after saying she loved me just a day before.

    Good Video! I'm a recent victim of a Narcissist. I was 'Discarded', and that's an understatement. I didn't do my homework, so I had no Idea what I was dealing with. I'm attempting to clean up the internal mess, and the pain has only increased, finding out there were clear signs that I walked right into. Humiliating Feelings abound both then and now. I just finished a book called 'Psychopath Free.' It has helped a lot. The most difficult part has been maintaining a 'No Contact' reality. In my experience, she would start an argument, take it to the level where I would be yelling and screaming, because I couldn't break through, and my only solution was to just give up and go to bed. But, then in the middle of the night, she would come on to me, 'Sex Bomb' me, and then wake up in the morning and pretend nothing happened, and just as long as I didn't bring up the original argument, then everything would be fine, but it would all start over again a couple of days later. Originally, I thought this scenario would happen because she realized that she had 'Done me Wrong,' and was trying to make it Right. Oh Boy, was I wrong. I am learning a lot, because I don't want this to ever happen again, but I have a long way to go. Thank you for the work you do. It Helps!

    I find these bullet point lists difficult and over simplistic: my BPD ex would make these accusations of not engaging enough with her, being distant and less empathetic. And it’s true: I grew more distant over time because of her crazy emotional meltdowns and communication rollercoasters. This had repercussions on our sex life as well. But not because I held back deliberately but simply because I felt too insecure around and can’t be intimate with a person who throws temper tantrums every second day!

    I remember when I found her profile on dating sites and confronted her. I was told this: They're just friends! Stop being so jealous and controlling. Even my friends told me I should get away from you!. She even went on a trip with a band she was "managing" with another girl, and when I asked her: How was your trip? her: Why do you ask about that? it's NOT your business how my trip was!.

    If you're constantly feeling drained after meeting someone, or constantly getting reprimands about trivial things or being gas lit, it's time to WALK. For your own sanity. It's just not worth sticking it out. And when I mean walk, I mean walk. Total cut off. Nobody is perfect but this kind of treatment of you is on another level. Life is too short to be bothered with their rubbish.
