Summary
The narcissistic discard can come on suddenly and when you least expect it. Often, discards occur in the face of conflict when a narcissist is in fear of being exposed. If you are a somewhat healthy person, who believes in fairness, and authenticity, in time, the narcissists inability to go deep and to live with accountability will be revealed. If you are not prepared for what happens when you and a narcissist experience even a minor conflict, you might go down a rabbit hole looking for ways to resolve an issue they are incapable of resolving. Instead, a narcissist positions themselves as a victim, demonized you and relies on backward rationalization to help justify discarding you before their shortcomings become exposed.
If you have ever experienced a discard, this episode will undoubtedly help clear your mind from the tangled web of disordered thinking and self preserving rationalizations of a narcissist.
