Many of us were discarded not because we weren’t valuable, but because we were overly dependent on others for our happiness. We found ourselves in a cycle of people-pleasing, sacrificing our own needs for the sake of someone else’s happiness. This dynamic is unsustainable. It is natural to support and care for one another in healthy relationships, but sacrificing our own well-being consistently is not the foundation of mutual respect and love.
In narcissistic relationships, this imbalance can be overwhelming. The narcissist drains us, and we give up our self-worth to keep them satisfied. We often stayed because we believed our love would be enough to heal them or change them. The pain from being in such a relationship is not a reflection of our failure, but rather a consequence of being with someone who failed to recognize our intrinsic value.
The memories we leave behind—the love and care we offered—will not serve them as a source of nourishment. Instead, they become a haunting reminder of what they’ve lost, a reminder that ultimately leads to their inner destruction. It’s important to recognize that our kindness is not a curse, but part of our karma. You are the embodiment of the consequences they will face. The good you did in their lives will stay with them as an ever-present reminder of their inability to appreciate you. And while you may not witness their suffering, rest assured karma is working in ways beyond our comprehension.
When we look in the mirror, we see the reflection of our own growth, our own transformation. We may not have understood the lessons before, but we do now. Embrace the opportunity to evolve spiritually, emotionally, and physically. This is a time to focus on self-care and self-improvement—not just in terms of appearance, but in how we view ourselves and our potential. Whether it’s focusing on health, fitness, or overall well-being, every action taken to improve yourself adds to your strength and vitality.
As empaths, we often find ourselves vulnerable to the words and actions of narcissists. When they belittle us or call us names, it is important to remember that their goal is to manipulate our perception, to make us doubt our worth. They are aware of our value deep down, but use these tactics to keep us feeling inferior. Don’t let their projections of inadequacy cloud your sense of self. You may find yourself questioning your own worth because of their manipulations, but remember: the narcissist was never truly at your level. They created a false narrative to keep you stuck, to keep you from realizing your full potential. Don’t buy into that false narrative; you deserve better.
