What’s left for them? Maybe they’ll recycle a former source—someone already battered and bruised. Maybe they’ll tangle with another narcissist—two masks dancing until one breaks. Maybe they’ll snare someone new—innocent, untouched, unaware. Or maybe they’ll be left alone. Picture it: a cheap motel, faded lights, fast food on the nightstand, the buzz of a TV trying to drown out the silence. That’s where they go when no one’s looking. That’s when the mask comes off.
And no, you won’t see it, but it’s real. The collapse is real. Because when a narcissist can’t find supply, when the world stops reflecting their illusion, they are forced to meet the monster in the mirror, and it terrifies them. You want a picture of who they truly are? Put them on a deserted island. Give them food, water, shelter, but no phone, no praise, no followers, no one to manipulate. In two days, they’re unraveling. In one week, they’re pacing, spiraling, fuming at the air. By the end, they’re desperate for anyone to lie to because they can’t survive without distraction, without drama, without control. They can’t sit in silence because silence is honest. Silence shows them what they are.
And if they ever return from that island, they’ll go right back to the same game, same tricks, same mask. No good deed goes unpunished with a narcissist, and no change comes from pain they refuse to feel. So let the island speak. Let their emptiness echo.
You, on the other hand, rise. Keep walking, keep healing, keep choosing peace. And above all, don’t look back. You’ve seen enough. You’ve survived enough. You are enough. I love you. God bless you. You’re not alone, and you’re never going back—not this time. Enjoy your day, hold your head high, and if this message hit home, share it. Someone else out there needs this reminder. I’ll talk to you tomorrow. God bless.
Sharing is caring!
