At the core of a narcissist’s behavior is their insatiable need for admiration and attention, also known as “supply.” Narcissists are incapable of genuine emotional connections because they only view people as objects to fulfill their needs.

The discard phase is simply the final step in their plan to replace you without taking any responsibility for the hurt they’ve caused.
