Summary
Highlights
Narcissists are creatures of habit; they don't change. Their behaviors, relationships, and even partners follow a rinse-and-repeat cycle. Their apparent happiness with a new supply signifies the beginning of another such cycle, initially characterized by intense 'love bombing' to hook the new partner.
The initial phase of a relationship with a narcissist is very beautiful because they love-bomb the new supply, becoming their ideal partner. Once the new supply is sufficiently 'hooked' (through marriage, pregnancy, relocation, etc.), the narcissist's mask begins to fall, revealing their true self. The decision then rests with the new supply: to stay and endure or to leave.
People stay with narcissists for various reasons, such as having children together, financial dependence, or a lack of strong external support. The video emphasizes that appearances can be deceiving; not everyone in a long-term relationship, including those from previous generations, is truly happy. Many suffer in silence, and the length of a relationship doesn't equate to its health.
The new supply often hates the previous partner for two main reasons: either because you were strong enough to leave and now they are stuck with the narcissist, or because the narcissist is obsessed with you and constantly talks about you. The new supply becomes entangled in the narcissist's obsession with you, stalking your social media and seeking information.
When a narcissist and their new supply appear happy on social media, it's often a performance designed for the previous partner. This display is intended to hurt and trigger you. They want you to see their 'happiness' because you, the one who got away, remain a constant presence in their mind.
The best action for a survivor is to focus on themselves: return to activities they love, reconnect with family, and live their best life. This not only restores your inner peace but also serves as the ultimate punishment for the narcissist. Your healing and contentment are your revenge, leaving the new supply to unwittingly become another victim in the narcissist's cycle.
