- 0:43reverse discard, but y'all, as I grow, my perspective changes on
- 0:46certain situations and things like that.
- 0:47So stay tuned to the end, y'all please.

- 0:55Going to be doing interviews, live interviews, in person
- 0:58interviews, all kinds of stuff. So make sure you subscribe for
- 1:00that as well. But yes, y'all, I got a message
- 1:04on Snapchat. Yeah, I do.
- 1:05I do read my DMS when I can. I do read my messages.
- 1:08I do try to, right? I'm looking for like some public
- 1:11public relations PR assistance or whatever, you know, I'm
- 1:16looking for that type of stuff as well.
- 1:17So y'all have experience in that shoot me e-mail, but
- 1:21narcissistic people like I got a message on Snapchat.
- 1:24I lost my train of thought. I got a message on Snapchat that
- 1:26said, Hey lady, you think my I think I feel like my my
- 1:29narcissistic ex is is pushing me away and wants me to break up
- 1:33with them. But I don't know is that a is
- 1:34that a thing? I was like, what you haven't saw
- 1:37my video on the reverse discard. So let's get into it.
- 1:41Yes, that is absolutely a thing. I know sometimes, I know a lot
- 1:44of people, including myself, talk about the just the discard
- 1:47phase, right? When narcissists break up with
- 1:49you, when they discard you, when they're done with the
- 1:52relationship and they want to be done with you and they just they
- 1:54get rid of you, right? They just break up with you.
- 1:55They leave you for a new supply. They do this, they do that.
- 1:58We talk about that all the time. But we what we don't really talk
- 2:01about is when they want, they want you to be the one that's
- 2:05out the door. They want you to be the one that
- 2:07says I'm done, I'm finished. They want you to do that.
- 2:11That's a discard because they wanted it to happen, but it's
- 2:15reversed because you were the one who does it.
- 2:17They wanted to break up. They didn't have the courage or
- 2:19the strength or the war with all to do it.
- 2:21And also be like, if you break up with me, guess what?
- 2:24I get to play all. Guess what?
- 2:25I get to play. If you break up with me, guess
- 2:27what I get to play. If you break up with me, I get
- 2:30to play the victim. So a lot of narcissistic people
- 2:35get to play the victim, the situations that they themselves
- 2:38create by pushing you away. If you break it with me, I'm the
- 2:41victim. I can go on Facebook and
- 2:43Instagram and tick tock and just like, even though I wanted this
- 2:49guys, I guess. I'm single again.
- 2:53I guess I'm not good enough. For people to.
- 2:58I guess I'm not good enough for people to love.
- 3:01I just want to be loved and loved and loved and blah blah
- 3:04blah. That's what happens.
- 3:06They want you to love. You know what I'm saying?
- 3:08They they will use this as the they will play the victim card.
- 3:12They pull that, they pull that victim card out their water.
- 3:14They'll be like, hmm, got something for you?
- 3:18Here it is. Let me see here it is the handy
- 3:24dandy victim card. Here you go.
- 3:28Take it, Take it. Take it, Georgie.
- 3:30Take it. They'll pull it out their wallet
- 3:32anytime. Because guess what?
- 3:34You did break it with me. I'm not lying.
- 3:36You did in the relationship. I'm not lying.
- 3:39There's truth in it. There's the truth in it, isn't
- 3:41it? There's truth in this
- 3:43circumstance. There's truth in truth in it.
- 3:46Because they did. They wanted you to.
- 3:47And now they can play the victim.
- 3:49I wasn't good enough. And guess what else to get?
- 3:52Like they can play the victim and they also have an excuse to
- 3:55move on faster, don't they? If you break it with me, I have
- 3:59an excuse to move on fast, right?
- 4:01Because you no longer wanted the relationship, right?
- 4:04You no longer wanted that because now I have an excuse to
- 4:08move on pretty quickly because of this, right?
- 4:12Because this situation has evolved, because this has
- 4:15happened, I can move on faster and you can't hold me like you
- 4:19can't hold me accountable. You broke up with me.
- 4:21Who cares if I get in a relationship next the next week?
- 4:23Who cares if I move in with somebody else in two days?
- 4:27Who cares who cares about any of that?
- 4:31Who cares about any of that? You see what I'm saying?
- 4:34That's what happens. That's what happens.
- 4:37Like they enjoy the fact that you bruggle with them so they
- 4:41can absolutely play the victim in the circumstances that they
- 4:44themselves have concocted, that they themselves have created.
- 4:48This is why they like, like I said, This is why they would do
- 4:50the reverse discard and the reverse discard happens.
- 4:54Y'all, It can happen slowly over time.
- 4:55It's not just, it could be a switch, a flip that switches,
- 4:59right? It could, they just could turn
- 5:00on the discard. But a lot of times they
- 5:03calculate it, they take their time, they, they, they cultivate
- 5:06it. They, they, they mold it, they
- 5:08use it. Then they wrote, it's a slow
- 5:11release. It's a slow rollout, right?
- 5:13It's a slow release capsule. It's not, it's not microwave.
- 5:17You know you have to. It's a crock pot.
- 5:19Crock pot discard instead of the microwave discard.
- 5:21When they just break up with you, they'll just start, they'll
- 5:25just start to remove the love from you.
- 5:27They'll just start to remove the affection from you.
- 5:30They'll just start to remove things from you that they like
- 5:33said they themselves want. Like they, they, they, they,
- 5:36they you want like if you want communication, they'll just
- 5:39start communicating with you less.
- 5:40If you want love, caring, affection, they'll just start to
- 5:42give you less love, less care, less affection.
- 5:45They'll stop. Like I said, they'll stop
- 5:46texting you as much. They'll start coming home late.
- 5:48They'll just start doing little things to push you out the door.
- 5:52But you don't want to leave. You want to fight for the
- 5:54relationship, right? You don't want it to end.
- 5:55So you might stay a little bit longer.
- 5:57You might try to change certain things about yourself.
- 5:59You might even try to have a conversation with them and ask
- 6:01them what's wrong. And they'll tell you straight
- 6:04up. It's like, hey, look, nothing's
- 6:06wrong, everything is fine, everything is fine.
- 6:08I was dancing around and everything is fine, nothing's
- 6:11wrong. You know what I mean?
- 6:13But you can sense that there's something wrong.
- 6:17They just don't want to admit it.
- 6:18And with with them not admitting it, it can just make everything
- 6:21go on longer. It can make the situation, it
- 6:24can precipitate the situation and make it just make things
- 6:26worse. It absolutely can.
- 6:28This is can't absolutely happen, right?
- 6:31You're just fighting for the relationship.
- 6:32They're just being manipulative. This is how it goes.
- 6:36Like you're fighting, you're you're fighting around, you're
- 6:38doing this, you're doing it and they are just doing, they are
- 6:41just going about their everyday lives like nothing has changed,
- 6:43like nothing matters, right? They're being manipulative,
- 6:46they'll be they're being abusive, they're being toxic as
- 6:49hell. They do this stuff all the time,
- 6:53you know, So I tell you, I say that to say this, you are not at
- 6:57fault for break. Like even if they you think it's
- 6:59the reverse, discard you. If you want to leave, you should
- 7:03absolutely leave. I know y'all are thinking I'm
- 7:06not going to let them reverse this card.
- 7:08Me, I'm going to stay. Why would you do that?
- 7:11It's just an idea. You're wasting your time.
- 7:12I don't want them to play the victim.
- 7:14They're already playing the victim.
- 7:16They're already they're going to be the victim regardless.
- 7:18And the longer you stay, the worse they will treat you,
- 7:22right? The longer that you stay, the
- 7:24worse they will treat you. The, the, the longer you stay
- 7:27with them, the longer you are around with them, the longer,
- 7:29the more that you do to them, the more, like I said, the more
- 7:32that they're going to take away stuff.
- 7:34They're going to abuse you. They're going to use you.
- 7:36You see what I'm saying? They're going to do a lot of
- 7:38this different stuff to get inside of your head and to
- 7:41activate you. They absolutely are.
- 7:45So I say that to say this. You are empowered, you are as
- 7:49strong as you possibly can can be, and you deserve better.
- 7:52You deserve better than somebody that's going to sit right here
- 7:54and just intentionally be manipulative and disconnect from
- 7:57you and just just just act irritated around you all the
- 8:00time. Every single little thing that
- 8:02you do irritates them. Every single little thing that
- 8:04you say sets them off. Everything makes them sad.
- 8:07Everything makes them unhappy. Everything does this, everything
- 8:09does that. Like they're just being, they're
- 8:10just getting on your damn nerves.
- 8:13They're just doing this to be toxic as hell and be
- 8:14manipulative and getting your damn nerves sooner or later.
- 8:17You got to pull the plug on it. The lady.
- 8:19Look y'all, it's dead. The relationship is dead.
- 8:22You got to resuscitate. You can't resuscitate it then.
- 8:24You see what I'm saying? You can't do CPR on a dead
- 8:26relationship. Stop trying to revive or
- 8:29resuscitate a dead relationship. You don't like I said,
- 8:32especially if they're not trying to, if they're not trying to
- 8:34breathe, it's just like they're choking on something, right?
- 8:36Imagine somebody's choking on something and you're doing a
- 8:38Heimlich, and then you finally get it out of their mouth and
- 8:41they just like, all right, no, they put it back in their mouth.
- 8:48You do the Heimlich maneuver on them and they spit it out there
- 8:51like, oh, I can breathe again. I can breathe again.
- 8:54Stop it. And they put it back in their
- 8:56mouth. They want to be, they want to be
- 8:58emotionally choked out. They want to be, they want to
- 9:01disconnect from you. And I know it sucks, y'all, I'm
- 9:03not. I know I'm poked for it.
- 9:04I make jokes, but I know it sucks.
- 9:07But if they look, you don't want to stay where you're not wanted,
- 9:11go where you are appreciated, not tolerate it.
- 9:14Yeah, they might tolerate you for a little while because maybe
- 9:17the finances, the finances are in order or not in order.
- 9:20Maybe they, they, they need you for something else, right?
- 9:23Or maybe they don't want to see you with anybody else because,
- 9:27because just because the reverse discard happens doesn't mean
- 9:31that they will absolutely move on to somebody else very, very
- 9:34quickly. It could mean that, right?
- 9:36It could absolutely mean that. But a lot of times it's just
- 9:39them being manipulative, being toxic as hell and just just
- 9:43being, just being unnecessary. I hate y'all.
- 9:45I, I can't, I can't explain how much I hate the reverse discard
- 9:48because it's cowardice and I, I hate it because y'all know why I
- 9:51hate it? Because I used to do it.
- 9:52They used to be my move. They used to be my weapon of
- 9:54choice. So when I talk about the reverse
- 9:55discard, it makes me feel the internal shame of doing it right
- 10:00because I, I've done, I've perpetrated, I've, you know,
- 10:02I've executed the reverse discard.
- 10:05Most breakups in my life have been the result of a reverse
- 10:07discard. Me emotionally disconnecting
- 10:09from them. Like it'd be me, sorry.
- 10:16It'll be me just waking up one day not feeling the same about
- 10:19the relationship. And instead of being a man or
- 10:22being a woman or being a person and just breaking up with the
- 10:25person or just telling them, I would just disconnect from it
- 10:28and be a be a coward. You know what I'm saying?
- 10:31I would just say big. I was just a huge coward.
- 10:33And it's tough for me to say that because I'm talking about
- 10:34myself. It was cowardice of me to just
- 10:37be like, I'm just going to treat you bad and make you leave.
- 10:40I put people through. So it's putting people through
- 10:43unnecessary emotional distress because I'm a coward.
- 10:45Because they are a coward. It's coward.
- 10:48The reverse discard is coward is Incarnate.
- 10:50It just is. I was a coward when I was doing
- 10:52it. Your partner, your ex, whoever
- 10:54it was, the reverse discard to you is a coward while they
- 10:57themselves are doing it as well. So don't let them convince you
- 11:00of otherwise y'all? So that's why I just say like
- 11:02out the reverse discard does happen and they just do it
- 11:05because they disconnect from you.
- 11:06They emotionally discard you. You can learn more about the
- 11:08emotional discard in my course called Understanding the Seven
- 11:11Stages of a Narcissistic Relationship.
- 11:13Everything y'all is available at mentalmentalillness.net.
- 11:16You can see it go across the bottom of the screen.
- 11:18Coaching courses. Everything is available at
- 11:19mentalillness.net. But yeah, it's a it's a tough
- 11:23thing to deal with. It really just is.
- 11:25It's like y'all see me growing, y'all see me trying to, you
- 11:27know, make amends with the mistakes I've made in the past,
- 11:30but not everybody's going to get to that stage, y'all.
- 11:32It just like I'll say this, just because they don't get to that
- 11:34stage does not mean that you yourself do not matter, y'all.
- 11:38So I appreciate y'all tuning into another episode.
- 11:42I'm super thankful for y'all. If the reverse discard is
- 11:45happening to you right now, y'all, get your ducks in a row
- 11:48and go ahead and reverse this card.
- 11:49They ask. Get them out of there and just
- 11:51be prepared, y'all, when you do, when you do, they reverse this
- 11:54car when it does happen, just be prepared.
- 11:56They're going to play the victim.
- 11:58They're going to play. They might move on quickly.
- 11:59You have to be prepared for this stuff, you know what I mean?
- 12:02I know I said make it seem like it's something easy to do.
- 12:04It's not easy. It's not easy to deal with
- 12:06whether or not you know it's coming or you're going through
- 12:08it right now anyway, y'all make sure y'all subscribe to the
