I can provide some general insights on the behavior of narcissists after being discarded.
The time it takes for a narcissist to attempt to come back after being discarded can vary widely depending on several factors:
Severity of the narcissistic traits: If the person has severe narcissistic tendencies, they may be more persistent in trying to come back, as they often struggle with accepting rejection or the end of a relationship.
Emotional attachment: If the narcissist was genuinely emotionally attached to the person they were in a relationship with, they might attempt to come back sooner in an effort to regain control or seek validation.
Availability of new sources of narcissistic supply: Narcissists thrive on attention and admiration from others (known as narcissistic supply). If they quickly find new sources of supply, they may be less likely to come back to their previous partner.
Personal circumstances: External factors such as loneliness, personal crises, or changes in their life circumstances may also play a role in determining how long it takes for a narcissist to come back.
Boundaries and no-contact: If the person who was in a relationship with the narcissist establishes strong boundaries and maintains no contact, it can discourage the narcissist from attempting to come back.
It's important for the person who was in a relationship with the narcissist to focus on their well-being, healing, and personal growth after the end of the relationship. Establishing healthy boundaries and seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist can be helpful in navigating this process.
If you are dealing with a situation involving a narcissist and are finding it challenging to cope, consider reaching out to a mental health professional who can provide guidance and support tailored to your specific situation.
