How do You Know When a narcissist is Replacing You With Someone Else?
If you’re paying attention, you will see it a mile away.
The relationship is on again! You can’t believe you two are finally back together! But it might work this time. She really seems like she loves me and cares for me this time!
My gawd, we had a fantastic night! I missed this feeling so much!
My lord, it’s like old times! She’s texting me again with emojis, telling me she loves me and wants me at her house every night!
I’m not going to lie, I’m a little jaded, and it feels a little off, almost sinister. Of course, she’s said this before, but it’s been so long since she’s shown me this level of attention again that I can’t pass it up! My soul has been craving it!
It feels good, but I almost feel a sense of shame taking over me. I actually feel disgusted with myself. While the smothering of attention feels excellent, it doesn’t have that magic pop it uses too. I feel like a piece of used meat.
I started questioning again why I wasn’t good enough the other 10+ times. Why was I always chosen last over everyone else? The disgust I feel with myself is overwhelming. I feel like I’m being used. I feel like she doesn’t have other options, and I’m “it.”
