They don’t move on because they’ve grown or healed.
They move on because they found someone else to play the game with.
And sometimes, watching that can hurt more than the breakup itself.
Because it makes you feel disposable.
But it’s not you.
It’s the cycle. And anyone can be next when they’re just a role, not a real person, in the narcissist’s story.
7. You’ll Feel Free—But Also… Lost
You expect peace. You expect relief. And you do get it… eventually.
But first, there’s grief.
Because even if it was toxic, it was familiar.
Even if it hurt, it was something.
That confusion? That loneliness? It’s part of detoxing from the emotional addiction narcissists create.
Be patient with yourself.
Freedom takes time to feel like home.
Final Thought:
Walking away from a narcissist isn’t just leaving a person—it’s leaving a game you didn’t even know you were playing.
And when you stop playing, they don’t clap for your growth.
They fight to keep the game alive.
But you?
You don’t have to play anymore.
You’re allowed to choose peace, even if it’s quiet. Even if it’s lonely. Even if they never understand why.
Because you don’t need them to understand.
You just need to heal.
Sharing is caring!
