Today, we are going to unpack a subject that weighs heavily on the minds of many survivors. It is a topic that often keeps people up at night, ruminating and questioning their own reality. We are talking about the phase that inevitably follows the discard: the signs of "trouble in paradise" between the Narcissist and their New Supply.
We have all seen it. The Narcissist leaves, or you finally escape, and almost immediately, they seem to have landed in a fairytale. They expend significant effort to maintain a fabricated persona, especially when they have secured a New Supply. They meticulously work to project an image of an ideal, wonderful relationship, often subtly—or blatantly—conveying that this new individual is superior to you. The narrative they spin is designed to make you feel that your perceived shortcomings were the reason for the relationship's demise. They want the world to believe that you were the "problem," and now that they have found someone who meets their expectations, they are finally happy.
But here is the truth that we are going to expose today: Such audacious claims are a common manipulation tactic, not a reflection of reality. We are going to peel back the layers of this performance, look at what is known as "shared fantasy," and discover what happens when reality inevitably crashes in.
Let’s start by addressing the elephant in the room. Why does it look like they are having the time of their lives? This behavior represents their initial strategy to perpetuate the aftermath of the discard. By "perpetuate," we refer to the mocking and various psychological tactics they employ following a separation and the acquisition of a New Supply.
Frequently, the Narcissist's primary motivation for publicly displaying their new relationship is to provoke jealousy. It is a calculated performance. They aim to entice you into chasing them, hoping you will attempt to reconcile or at least react. What a Narcissist desires most is to witness a conflict—an emotional wrestling match—perhaps even a physical confrontation, between you and their New Supply. They want both of you vying for their attention, fighting over them as if they are a prize to be won.
However, it is crucial to recognize the manipulative nature of this desire and refuse to engage in such a demeaning struggle. You are not a contestant on a game show; you are a human being with dignity.
When we look at this through the lens of psychology, we have to understand that Narcissists struggle deeply with self-regulation. They cannot generate their own self-esteem. They need external validation, which we call "supply," to feel alive. This outcome—a display of contention over them—would significantly inflate the Narcissist's self-esteem. It validates their false self-image that they are irresistible and all-powerful.
