**Do narcissists know when you're completely done with them?**

Yes—**they know.** They know **exactly** when you've figured them out. The moment you stop reacting, stop chasing, stop trying to explain yourself—they feel it. The shift in your energy is unmistakable. You’re no longer supplying the fuel they feed on: your pain, confusion, empathy, and hope. That realization threatens them more than anything.

Once a narcissist senses that you truly see them—**not the mask, but the manipulative, hollow person behind it**—they begin the **discard phase**, if they haven’t already. Often, they won’t rage or fight. They vanish. Just *disappear*—like none of it ever happened. They ghost you, delete you, block you, or move on to their next source of supply, as if you were never real. That’s because your value to them never came from your *humanity*—it came from your *utility.*

For you, this is devastating. You gave your love, time, energy, and belief to someone who turned out to be a facade. The relationship—the memories, the future plans, even the inside jokes—now feel hollow and surreal. You’re left picking up the shattered pieces of your reality, trying to make sense of how someone who claimed to love you could treat you like nothing. You find yourself researching narcissism late at night, reading stories that mirror your own so exactly it feels eerie. This is not just heartbreak—**it’s psychological whiplash.**

And the narcissist? They’re already working on their next target. They're not hurting, they're hiding. Running. Cowards in expensive masks.

But here’s the truth: **You won.** You woke up. You broke the illusion. You’re no longer a pawn. And no matter how much they try to rewrite the narrative, **you have something they never will—clarity, truth, and a real sense of self.** Let them run. You’re finally free.
