One of the greatest struggles for many narcissistic abuse survivors is the compulsion to cyber snoop on a toxic ex.

Some are being discarded, some have gone No Contact on their own, and yet others exist on the sidelines as the Other Woman or Other Man, waiting patiently for the narcissist to have The Divine Epiphany where he or she comes sprinting back, pleading for forgiveness, and waxing lyrical about marriage and growing old together.

What’s more, it’s a time when the Narcissist’s former victims spend horrifying amounts of time on social media, cyber-stalking the Narcissist and their new supply.

Coincidentally, it’s also a platform that Narcissists use to further degrade their ex-partners and simultaneously begin early triangulation with the new supply.

Stalking a narcissistic ex or toxic cheater on social media is directly correlated with a huge delay in the healing process (possibly years).

Sadly, this cyber-snooping has been the ruin of many a victim’s self-esteem as they begin to aggressively pursue the Narcissist in an attempt to make them “see the light”, which instead makes them appear less valuable than the Narcissist.

While social media snooping is something that almost all of us do in the beginning, it’s critical that you get a grip on this urge. Especially when you learn about the dark truths of social media.
