Sudden abandonment is not normal behavior — it is emotional cruelty dressed in indifference. When someone truly feels the love, depth, and passion they once proclaimed, they don’t just vanish without explanation. They don’t go silent, they don’t ghost, and they don’t erase you as if you never mattered. And yet, this is exactly what narcissists do. They don’t just *leave* — they discard, and they do it in a way designed to destabilize you, to make you question your worth, your sanity, and your entire perception of the relationship.

The discard is not spontaneous. It’s premeditated. While you’re still giving your all, believing the connection is strong, they’re quietly devaluing you behind the scenes, preparing their exit, lining up new supply. And then one day, they’re gone — cold, distant, detached. The person who once told you that you were everything they ever wanted now acts like you never existed. They’ll say things that make no sense, offer vague or patronizing breakup lines like "You deserve better," or "I'm just not in a good place," while they’re already grooming their next victim.

You’re left in a fog, grieving not just the loss but the *confusion*. How could someone go from love-bombing to emotional detachment so effortlessly? How could they say you were different from all their "crazy exes" — only to now paint *you* as the crazy one?

This isn’t love. This is manipulation. This is abuse. Narcissists rewrite history to protect their image and justify their betrayal. But their actions speak louder than their words ever did. And the truth is: you were never the problem — they just never had the capacity to love in the first place.
