They always have numerous men available at any one time to fill the gap within themselves; they need “narcissistic supply.
It is hard to believe at first, but it is true—they always have a constant supply of “narcissistic supply” available. Because adoration, admiration, and acknowledgement are what they truly want, they ensure they have a constant supply of these around. As physical sex is the most powerful source of admiration, they also make sure they have numerous men ready to control them to give them a sense of entitlement when those men adore them.
It is foolish to think that you can change this. In fact, most people with this condition (narcissism) feel they are above everything else, so they rarely seek treatment or some form of psychotherapy or counseling. Even counselors are challenged with working with them, as the narcissist is very charming and will inevitably think they are in control of the sessions, and the therapist is also in love with them.
So, while it is possible, it is highly unlikely that a narcissist will change their skin, and the only time they contemplate possibly changing is in the event of the death of a close one, divorce, or a serious life event. Even then, the likelihood of change is very low, and they typically go back to their same patterns.
The great thing about everything we have shared, though, is that you are in total control—all the time! It is up to you to set your standards high, educate yourself on these patterns, come to terms with who you are dealing with, release your anger and frustration, and (if you feel like it) forgive them so that you do not harbor any more anger; this will allow you to let them go easily. Note that you do not have to let them know you forgive them; just do this within yourself.
When you are ready, you will be better equipped to let them go and not fall back into any patterns that have been keeping you in a negative spiral with these emotional vampires. Whatever you do, do not go back, ever, or suffer the consequences spelled out above. The choice is yours to make.
I trust this has been helpful. Have a warrior week and keep strong as always!
Sharing is caring!
