And to be honest I really want to get a chance to get to know you guys as well. So, you know what to do So this week I wanted to dive into the narcissus new supplies so basically their new partner their new girlfriend their new boyfriend and why this situation is so painful because It really is So one of the questions that I often get asked is can this person change are they happy in this new relationship? You know what? Was it about me that made this person just jump ship and they just ran into this relationship so quickly with this other person So, you know I must have done something wrong and they just kind of blame themselves or they really want to know like is this person actually happy in this new relationship and I want to start at the beginning. So can this person change? Absolutely? no, and if you understand Narcissistic abuse if you understand the abusive cycle Then you know how this game is played because you were part of the game for a very long time So, you know that in the beginning stages, we're gonna do the the love bombing. We're going to groom the victim We're going to be everything that this person has ever wanted We're going to pretend you know They're gonna pretend to be prince charming and romantic Gestures and all of these things and I have made a video and I'll link it down below the difference between the honeymoon phase in a relationship a healthy relationship versus a Narcissistically abusive love bombing phase so definitely go check that out. If you need to know the difference between the two but You don't understand the abusive cycle. So, you know how this game works. Like I said because you are a part of it So you'll also Understand that there is no way that your ex Can have a healthy relationship? With anyone whether it's you whether it's the most perfect human being on the planet the most perfect woman the most perfect man They can't have a healthy relationship It will always be an abusive toxic unhealthy relationship because there are two things that they lack they lack the ability to have empathy So if I don't have empathy and I can't I can't really feel Sympathy and compassion and have empathy for another human being that means that I can't connect with you I have an inability to have deep connections with people because I don't know how to sit in a space for someone else So what I mean by setting a space for you is really empathy So if I'm having empathy for you and you're telling me a story then and I'm feeling it so if you've ever watched something on TV and gotten emotional that's you having empathy for what someone is going through, you know? If we watch a movie and there's a really sad ending and someone passes away or you see a woman that lost the love of her life and you get Emotional and you feel that feeling that that person is probably experiencing you know that character is probably experiencing that's you having empathy and that ability to have empathy allows you to not Do things that are abusive or unhealthy or? You know cruel or you know, we we can we can hurt people because we're hurting inside right so hurt people hurt people So if I have wounds and I don't know what they are and I do Something and I unleash that wound on you and it hurts you That but I have but I understand why I did it I understand that I did that because of this and I know that I hurt you And I'm so sorry and you feel that some that that hurt that guilt that shame for what you did That's your ability to connect with people right? That's that's your ability to feel so to speak So a narcissist has an inability to feel it doesn't mean that they don't cry. It doesn't mean that they're not sad sometimes They can tiptoe in that feeling but they can't really ever sit in and feel it because they don't know how to feel their emotions So if you lack empathy and you have an inability to connect on that real deep level You're not we're gonna have a healthy relationship You're never gonna have a deep connection with anyone. Everything is always going to be surface level So surface level relationships is basically what can I get out of this? What am I gonna get from you or what? Are you giving me and what do all narcissists want? Narcissistic supply, so if you were discarded Which is a painful thing to have to go through and if you are going through that my heart goes out to you because when you love and trust someone you have a marriage with someone a relationship with someone you share life with someone and they can walk away and discard you like you were yesterday's trash and not only discard you but also spit on you and kick you while you're down I mean that it's so painful and Even if you weren't discarded if you had to end a relationship With someone because you saw the mask was starting to come off or you just couldn't tolerate it anymore again That's not an easy thing to go through either that's the ending of something and there's a Process that all of us have to go through whether we're discard it or not in order to heal past that relationship So if this person lacks the ability to have these two things then no this new Partner that there with their new girlfriend and her boyfriend is not getting a different version than what you got They're getting the same thing what what the problem is is that because of social media and because You know, whether you have to co-parent whether you have to still see your ex at work and you hear things and see things You know Maybe they fly their new partner in your face all the time or whatever the situation is You are going to its normal sometimes to go to that place of seeing the facade And if you see the facade and you believe it I always say the show is about to start So if the show is starting and you sit down at the front row Like everyone else like the narcissist family and friends and co-workers and people on social media and you just are sitting there watching that show happen and you believe everything that everyone else is believing then You're being manipulated by the narcissus you're believing this fake Story that the narcissist wants to display to the world to pretend Like they're they have the perfect relationship like they're so happy And the reason why a narcissist will do this is because they need to feel good About the decisions that they make so the narcissist created a story in their mind or a belief quite frankly They wholeheartedly believe it that you were the problem so if you were discarded you Were the problem because you didn't do this this and this you didn't give the narcissist what they wanted, right? You weren't a good source of narcissistic supply so you didn't have poor boundaries and something that I always tell people that are discarded because the discard is extremely painful, believe me I know but when a discard happens It is actually such a compliment to yourself because what it means is is that no matter How weak you probably were at certain points your relationship and when you look back you can definitely see that But no matter how fragile you were that that person wasn't able to really break you you weren't a good source of narcissistic supply and that's a great thing and I literally get goosebumps as I say that because if you even if you ended a Relationship with a narcissist that's still a great thing because that means that you were self empowered that you loved yourself enough to say no Matter how much I love you? I love me first and I'm not putting up with this anymore And no matter how many times you may have gone back and forth in a relationship that you at some point Stood your ground to say I deserve better and I'm gonna get better. So whether it's you leaving the relationship or the discard look at Especially the discard look at it is such a compliment to yourself And the reason why I focus more on the discard is only because when you're just scarred it hurts your ego a little bit There's something and then it that stings a little bit more than you making the decision to leave a relationship Because if you make the decision to leave the relationship even if you don't want to You still in your mind have gone to a place where you're not with this person anymore Whereas when a discard happens, you're kind of just in love living life with this person Then all of a sudden they just go away. It's almost it's really like a death So if you're with someone you're happily married You're happy in a relationship and then god forbid something happens and they get hit by bus tomorrow It's really the same experience. Something is taken away from you. Um So let's get back to my point, basically but if you're sitting there and the show is about to start and you believe that story then you are being manipulated by the Narcissist and that's something that's really important to be aware of so, you know about abuse. You know, how abuse kill goes You know that this person quite frankly is incapable of change They're never gonna change who they are because they can't recognize where their wounds are. They don't know what's going on with them I always say the craziest people are the people that don't know that don't know what's wrong with them because we're all a little messed up We all have wounds and things that we need to heal from and the people that live life and don't think that they have anything Wrong with them at all They have absolutely no Insecurities and they can't be real with you and they can't have empathy for others and have real deep connections with people KooKoo, I mean coo coo like so you think that that new person is getting a healthier version than what you saw I mean to me that's almost Like ludicrous to even think that doesn't mean that they're a different person Than the person that you were with because a narcissist is selfish So at the end of the day, they're still going to be abusive there's I'm gonna do what they want and they're gonna do that cycle over and over again, so what you saw in the beginning the love-bombing the charming all these things you're my soulmate and Then the abuse started to happen where they became selfish and they did whatever they wanted and they wanted you to overlook it Basically, and you weren't able to then you got discarded. Whereas perhaps this new person when that abuse starts to happen they take it and For whatever their reasons are they're on their own journey Maybe they're narcissistic as well. And the two are just feeding off of each other because they're both superficial. They both have emotional wounds They don't know what those wounds are and so they just have a very unhealthy dynamic between them So you have 2x you have to understand and really know and this isn't oh It's gonna make me feel better If I think this this just is reality is that all you're seeing is smoke and mirrors You don't really know what's going on in that relationship And sometimes if you are still close with your ex like if you have to co-parent or if you have to work with that or just whatever the dynamic is if on some Level you still know about what's going on with their life. You will see you will hear snippets of information Where you go? That sounds familiar. That sounds like something that I went through and It's validating because it helps you to Again, reiterate the knowing in the belief that what you got is the same thing that this person is getting it's really no different You know a lot of the times to a narcissist will stay or get involved in this new Relationship with this person quite frankly just to hurt you I mean it's great that they're getting a new supply from someone else and this new supply makes them feel amazing like Overlooks all of their abuse doesn't hold them accountable for anything. They're new partners maybe We can has poor boundaries just like you were in the beginning of your relationship. So regardless of that sometimes someone just gets hooked up in a relationship because They need to put the focus on the fact that you are the problem in the relationship so if you were the problem in the relationship and that's really the story that I want to believe as the narcissist then I'm Going to I'm not going to jump from relation ship-to relationship I'm gonna stay in a relationship and I'm gonna stay as long as I possibly can Because I need everyone around me to believe that it wasn't me. It was you and If that's the case, then yeah, they're gonna get hooked up with someone really really quickly they're going to tell the world from the mountains way up high that this person is the one that they finally found this person that you were the mistake when this is really Exactly what I wanted and the only reason why they want it is because they're getting something from it A narcissist is just an opportunist. So there again no real deep connection. No real ability to have empathy very selfish and entitled so with all of those things that new person is basically just another character in their show Right you they have just taken you out of the play and replaced you with this new person and of course, yes, that's that's hurtful but in Order to move on in order to not focus so much on what is happening in that dynamic? And are they having the relationship that I wanted and what was wrong with me then tada and playing that story over and over again? That's not serving you that's actually just hurting you You have to understand these things and you have to understand that even regardless of what's going on over there Regardless is that that person wasn't right for you? That that person wasn't healthy for you that that person didn't love you the way that you deserve to be loved Loved and that itself should be enough for you to say I'm blocking everyone on social media I don't want to hear about what's going on with this person from family friends whoever perhaps I need to get a new job, you know distance yourself as much as you possibly can from this person and When you're having a lonely night do not go on social media make it a point to not stock on social media I have So many people that I've coached that will tell me that you know I do this and I know I do this and I know I go on and I don't know why I do it And on some level you're addicted to the pain you're addicted to torturing yourself When you put yourself first when you say I deserve to be happy, I'm gonna love myself You're going to be it's almost like a drug addict, right? You're gonna be able be like, all right, I'm not gonna do that drug. I deserve to be happy I'm gonna fight this off and you keep fighting this and you keep reminding yourself of who you are and why this Pleasant why this Person wasn't good for you And that regardless of what's going on with that if he or she stays in a relationship for 50 years with that person Okay Whatever that has nothing to do with you. You need to focus on loving yourself. You need to focus on Moving on with your life and creating the best life possible Because that's what you deserve.
