Look, I’m going to lay it out for you straight: Narcissists aren’t just a little needy; they’re hungry. And I’m not talking about your average “feed me” kind of hunger. I’m talking about a deep, insatiable, bottomless pit kind of hunger for validation. They can’t function without it. They’re like a car running on fumes. Without constant admiration and attention, they stall. And that’s where you come in. You, my friend, are their supply. You’re the one who feeds their ego. You’re the one who tells them, “Hey, you’re the best thing since sliced bread.” You make them feel important and special. You give them the constant affirmation they need to keep their fragile little ego intact. But the moment you stop, that’s when the wheels start falling off the cart.
Indifference to a narcissist is worse than a slap in the face. It’s worse than telling them they’re worthless. Because you know what? At least with a slap, you’re acknowledging them. You’re making them feel something. But your indifference? It’s the silent treatment turned up to a thousand. It’s like you’ve completely erased them from your reality. Poof! Gone.
Think about this: Have you ever heard of a plant that survives without water? Yeah, me neither. Narcissists are the same deal. Without you feeding them, without you offering up that constant validation, they start to wilt. And this is why they can’t handle it. This is why they lose their minds. When you stop giving them what they need, they’re no longer alive; they’re just nothing. And for them, that’s the ultimate death sentence.
