2: The Narcissistic Discard

from A Life, Folded Hosted by Lainey Cathan

Narcissists can exist in any or all of the aspect of our lives. They may be a member of our family, our spouse, our boss, or even our ecclesiastical leader. One thing they all have in common is the need for the oneupmanship of the narcissistic discard when their target stops giving them narcissistic supply. Narcissists are deeply insecure individuals with no capacity for empathy or remorse. They keep people around as long as they are offering them “supply”. In other words, not questioning their gaslighting, projection, and double standards. When their targets no longer offer what they need, the narcissist performs a discard. This cruel tossing aside of the innocent human beings who love them is one of the narcissist's most devastating tactics. In this episode, Lainey gives examples of her husband's behavior during her discard phase. He thought nothing of coldly destroying the heart of a woman who had stood by him loyally for 29 years. #alifefolded #narcissisticemotionalabuse #bettayaltrauma #narcissisticdiscard #narcissisticabusesurvivor #narcissisticabuseawareness #narcissisticabuserecovery #discarded
