Do you think the narcissist replaced you because they left you for somebody else? What if I told you they were the ones who actually got replaced? They always get replaced, whether you realize it or not. Don’t believe me? I’m going to prove it to you in today’s episode.
When people think about narcissistic abuse, what do they talk about? They think about how you, as a victim, get replaced. That is the most painful part for survivors, right? The narcissist discards you, leaves you for somebody else, and starts over as if none of it ever happened. And what does the survivor feel in that moment? Used, broken, abandoned, and left behind. It feels like the narcissist has won and you lost, like you were just a stepping stone in their story. That belief can haunt you; it can stop you from healing for months and even years.
But I want to flip the script.
The Narcissist’s Endless Cycle
Today, I want you to see something nobody talks about: it is actually the narcissist who always ends up being replaced. It is just not always visible. In the beginning, you feel replaced because you have a heart, you have emotions, you loved them, and they did not love you back. That hurts. But the truth is, they cannot love anyone. Because of that, they never stay with anyone. They do not settle, they do not grow, they do not build. They bounce from one person to the next, from one obsession to the next, from one illusion to the next.
What does that mean? It means they are always leaving behind what they once claimed to need the most. Let that sink in. That is what being replaced truly means. They do it to cars, to homes, to people, to friends, to family, to partners, to children. Eventually, they are the ones who get replaced by all of it. Because the cars move on, the houses get sold, the people find peace, the children grow up, and the spouse either emotionally divorces them or escapes completely. Every single source leaves them, either by running or going numb. But they leave. That is the point.
So who gets replaced?
