Description

A narcissist seeks supply, attention in any way, shape, or form for sustenance to live. It's like the air they breathe, like pervasive tree roots looking for water to survive. Tree roots will stretch far and wide to get what they need to survive, even sometimes under homes.

The tree doesn't care that it may cause damage. It will plow on through to get what it needs. In the same way, a narcissist searches and seeks this survival sustenance (supply), reaching in all directions to accomplish this task at whatever cost.

In this episode, you'll uncover the six things narcissists desperately seek:

• Undying devotion and trust (they need to come first, even at the cost of your personal goals and aspirations)
• Constant admiration (they're seeking to be worshiped as the ultimate authority and know all in your life)
• Power and control (they overpower you from different angles all at the same time so you'll need them more and more)
• Value and importance (they tell stories to inflate themselves and provide support for their fragile ego)
• Your reaction (after they abuse you, they receive glory knowing they were powerful enough to cause you distress)
• Silence (they teach you not to speak out, or there will be hell to pay)

A narcissist shares stories from their past all for you to gain respect, trust, and admiration in exchange for your relentless allegiance. They need you to be on their side to the eventual cost of your personal goals. They want this extreme devotion to pale in comparison with every other priority in your life. They seek you to defend them even if they're wrong with absolute unwavering devotion.

Learning what a narcissist needs to survive can be eye opening and can shape a new beginning to recognize abusive behaviors and allow the truth of the matter to shine forth. If you've ever wondered what drives their behavior, if you're questioning why they need so much from you, or if you're ready to understand the mechanics behind their relentless pursuit, this episode breaks down exactly what they're after and why.
