I am currently and once again going though the discarded phase with someone who has narcissistic tendencies. It's tiring, confusing, and hurtful especially when you are unaware of what you are dealing with. Now as someone who knows what it is and what it means, it's still tiring and hurtful, but this time it really clicked with me. This person could have cared less if I lived or died this winter because my illmess according to them was an excuse not to be fun. Long story short, they are the damaged one not me. I am taking this time while being discarded to look inward and seek reassurance from friends and family this is not normal behavior and to move on when given the opportunity.
