Episode Overview
- Narcissists lack object constancy, so they don't miss you as a person.
- They only miss the benefits they derived from you, like admiration and attention.
- Understanding this can help you break free from emotional turmoil.
- Reverse projection traps victims in a cycle of misunderstanding.
- Focus on your own healing and recovery rather than worrying about the narcissist.
The narcissist is a monster. The narcissist is a parasite. The narcissist is the epitome of evil.
Ever wondered if a narcissist misses you after you've left them? This episode of 'Heal from within after Narcissistic Abuse with Danish' tackles this complex question head-on. Danish Bashir, a certified clinical trauma specialist and narcissistic abuse recovery professional, dives into the concept of 'object constancy' to explain why narcissists seem to forget you once you're out of their sight.
Unlike most people, narcissists lack this ability, which means they don't miss you as a person but rather the benefits they derived from you. Think of it like a predator only caring about its prey when it's time to hunt. Once the hunt is over, the prey is forgotten. It's a hard pill to swallow, but understanding this can be the first step in your healing journey.
Danish uses relatable metaphors and anecdotes to make this difficult topic easier to grasp. He compares a narcissist's lack of object constancy to a toddler who cries when their mother leaves the room, unable to understand that she will return. Similarly, a narcissist can't form lasting emotional connections because of their developmental trauma. They don't miss you; they miss what you provided—whether it was admiration, attention, or a sense of importance.
This episode also touches on the concept of 'reverse projection,' where victims of narcissistic abuse project their own feelings onto the narcissist, mistakenly believing that the narcissist feels the same way about them. Danish emphasises that this misconception traps you in a cycle of emotional turmoil. So, should you worry about whether a narcissist misses you? Danish argues that the better question is how you can heal and move forward.
By understanding the true nature of narcissistic behaviour, you can break free from their grip and focus on your own recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling to make sense of their feelings after leaving a narcissistic relationship. Don't let the narcissist's lack of emotional depth keep you stuck. Tune in to gain valuable insights and take the next step in your healing journey.
