Narcissistic Supply
right off the presses from Wikipedia:Narcissistic supply is a concept introduced into psychoanalytic theory by Otto Fenichel in 1938, to describe a type of admiration, interpersonal support or sustenance drawn by an individual from his or her environment and essential to their self-esteem.
The term is typically used in a negative sense, describing a pathological or excessive need for attention or admiration from codependents, or such a need in the orally fixated, that does not take into account the feelings, opinions or preferences of other people.
Hope this helps ya.........are you orally fixated today??

So it is treatable if and when the person chooses to seek help.
Just like someone who is suffering from PTSD and one must have compassion for someone who has any kind of disorder.
There are no drugs, no therapy nothing that can help 'evil'. They just were doing a segment on Trump on TV.....it was called the "evil" of Trump. The mainline know what going on..........some others like to hide in the dark........
I did attend medical school did you?
It seems that everyone wants to be a doctor.
Are you sure you aren't an narcissistic person yourself?
You say I'm a codependent ok.
When I saw your first blog topic I had a pretty good feeling to whom it was about.
It's obvious you don't like a certain person cause I remember when you kept posting links to articles pertaining to narcissistic people.Also telling me and others that we should read them.
Treating us like we weren't capable to look things up ourselves.
I will no longer posting in your blog topics.
Have a happy life.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our power/strength to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
Can't remember who said this.
Too bad most people won't read this in a second page blog. I don't think that silence is always a weakness, nor having a say doesn't always make anyone strong.

Great quote. Thank you.
Always love your common sensical logic.....have a great weekend
I go to the blogs for the chit chat and find myself amazed at the CS "reality show" going on 24 hours non-stop.
If this is the example being set for them, can't blame them for how they grow up.
Hope you're doing fine.
To try and ease the pain of rejection, coldness,blow ups. cutting across and being the centre of attention.... [when we speak on the phone] and h er inability to feel any real emotion [unless she fakes it ].
I went to the trouble of studying this condition... personality .
I don't believe a Narcissist can be helped. There is a complete shell underneath and of course, a very very low self esteem, that they willnot get int touch with, they simply lack certain emotions. like guilt, pity for others...
Now scientists/Neurologists have found that both psycopaths and Narcissists have a very small underdeveloped AMygadia in the Brain so it seems, this condition is not something that can be 'cured' or one can take medication for..
There are fantastic sites online to help those who are, or have been affected by Narcissm. The Mask....
Somehow they always walk away, feeling slighted, hard done by, even though they will rip you apart with their tongue... Toxic and I say stay away if you can.
