Narcissists want you to feel unimportant and insignificant, as though you’re not worth their consideration. In reality, the opposite is true—they are heavily dependent on you. They need your emotional support to continue functioning, but they want you to believe otherwise. This illusion is designed to make you feel small and keep you at their beck and call, ensuring they can extract what they need from you.

The truth is, you don’t need them. Narcissists lack the ability to fulfil your emotional needs. Instead, they leech off your emotions like parasites, draining you to sustain themselves. This dynamic is known as "narcissistic supply." To maintain this supply, they must have power over you, constantly competing with you to feel superior. Their sense of superiority is what fuels their supply.

Narcissists cannot achieve power and control through normal, healthy interactions. Instead, they create a fantastical reality where they set the rules. In this space, they manipulate and brainwash you, controlling your thoughts and actions to ensure you behave in ways that serve their needs. This artificial dynamic allows them to maintain their narcissistic supply, as real-life interactions don’t align with their distorted way of thinking.

Their minds operate in reverse, contrary to how reality is meant to function. This is why their behaviour often feels backward, unusual, or even bizarre. If they were to engage in normal, balanced relationships, they wouldn’t feel powerful, and their supply would diminish.

If someone is trying to gain power and control over you, it’s important to recognize that they don’t care about your happiness or well-being. Narcissists are only interested in taking what you have to offer. The more time you spend with them, the more you’ll find yourself giving—your time, energy, love, compassion, and kindness—while receiving little to nothing in return.

They target you because of your unique qualities and strengths, which they can’t find elsewhere. Narcissists are drawn to amazing individuals like you because they lack the ability to generate these qualities within themselves. They depend on you for emotional validation and support, even if they never admit it. Their actions reveal their dependency—they consume your energy reserves while pretending to love and support you.

It’s crucial to stop giving your energy to narcissists. Don’t blame yourself or think you could have done more to make the relationship work. Their goal is to make you feel inadequate, trapping you in a cycle of self-doubt and anxiety. They want you to believe you need to change to gain their approval, but the truth is, they don’t care about your efforts. All they care about is maintaining control over you to access your energy.

When you’re a narcissist’s source of supply, you’ll notice that you’re constantly giving while receiving nothing in return. They mould you into the person they want you to be, all while taking your emotional energy and offering no gratitude. They feel entitled to your love, devotion, and respect, but they have nothing to give back. This one-sided dynamic leaves you feeling drained and dissatisfied.

Narcissists will do everything they can to keep you stuck in their web, but it’s not in your best interest to stay. They don’t build, protect, or preserve—they only destroy. They rely on you to create and sustain what they cannot. Even if they leave, they often return, seeking to regain control and access to your energy.

In any relationship, there’s an exchange of energy. Healthy relationships involve mutual support and positivity. With narcissists, however, they steal your positive energy and replace it with negativity. They gaslight you into believing you need to keep giving until you’re completely drained. When that happens, they’ll blame you and move on to their next source of supply.

Breaking free from a narcissist is liberating. Remember how much happier and more fulfilled you were before they entered your life. Disconnecting from them allows you to revive your energy, spirit, and joy. Spend time focusing on yourself, and you’ll notice your happiness returning as if it was never taken away.

You were never meant to be a narcissist’s life support. They manipulated you into that role because they can’t sustain themselves. But you have the power to reclaim your life. By cutting ties and prioritizing your well-being, you can rediscover the happiness and fulfilment you deserve.
