What Narcissists Truly Miss About You
Episode Overview
Narcissists view their partners as objects performing functions rather than valuing them as individuals. They miss the benefits you provided – empathy, support, and sacrifices – but not you as a person. Narcissists create an idealised version of you that never matches reality. After discarding you, they struggle to find new partners willing to sacrifice as much. Understanding these dynamics can help in healing and reclaiming self-worth.
They miss not you but who you were to them – how you loved them, your sympathy, your empathy, the chances that you gave them.
