Video Description

Why Does a Narcissist’s Discard Feel So Shameful? Being discarded by a narcissist can trigger intense shame—but why? Let’s break it down: - Your worth feels tied to their approval. They build you up, then tear you down, making you question your value. - The discard feels like rejection. It’s easy to internalize it as a judgment on your worth, even though it’s not. - They shift the blame. Narcissists are masters at making you feel like you were the problem—even when you weren’t. But here’s the truth: this shame isn’t yours to carry. It’s a result of their manipulation, not a reflection of your worth. Their actions say more about them than you. Reclaim your self-worth by remembering that their discard doesn’t define you—it defines their inability to truly connect.
