At first, it feels great. You feel powerful, in control. You’ve got this person wrapped around your finger, and you’re loving every second of it. But here’s the thing: that feeling—it’s temporary, superficial. It’s not real fulfillment; it’s not real happiness—it’s just a cheap thrill. And when it’s gone, when this person finally wakes up and sees you for who you really are, that’s when the real trouble starts.
Because here’s the kicker: the narcissist doesn’t just lose a source of supply when you walk away; they lose a part of themselves. Your authenticity, your kindness, your love—it wasn’t just something they took for granted; it was something they needed. It was the glue holding their fragile ego together, and without it, they’re left with nothing but a gaping void—a void they can’t fill, no matter how hard they try.

They miss the validation, the control, the power. And without it, they’re floundering.
But here’s where it gets interesting: the narcissist might try to replace you. They might go out and find someone new—someone they can manipulate and control just like they did with you. But here’s the thing: it’s not the same. It’s never the same. Because you? You’re one of a kind. Your kindness, your compassion, your love—it’s not something they can just replicate; it’s not something they can manufacture. And when they realize that, when they understand they can’t find another you, that’s when the real torment begins.
