Feel like you're walking on eggshells all the time? Does the narcissist always seem to be tearing you down? Constantly fighting invalidation, gaslighting and dealing with trauma bonding?

There's a reason for that: the narcissistic devalue phase.

It's true - narcissists (people with NPD and other cluster b disorders) need you to feel bad about yourself.

The technical definition: de·val·ue

dēˈvalyo͞o/Submit

verb

reduce or underestimate the worth or importance of.

"I resent the way people seem to devalue my achievement"

synonyms: belittle, depreciate, disparage, denigrate, decry, deprecate, treat lightly, discredit, underrate, undervalue, underestimate, deflate, diminish, trivialize, run down

Today, we are going to dig into the emotions and specific kinds of behavior that happen inside of the last and most painful part of the cycle: devaluation and discarding.

Devalue and Discard: The Painful Part of the Narcissistic Cycle of Abuse

You've been walking on eggshells for awhile now, but it doesn't seem to matter to your narcissist.

The narc is no longer even polite to you, much less kind. You often wonder what happened to the person you first met.

Nothing you say, do, think or feel is acceptable and he makes sure you know it.

Everything you do elicits the same kinds of responses: anger, irritation, "justified" rage.

If you call a narcissist on their crap or you prove one wrong, watch out. That's when the narcissist will go ballistic, pulling no punches, digging deep to find a way to hurt you.
