Narcissists use others for their personal gratification. Supply are those who the narc attaches to and uses to build themselves up in some way. Are you unintentionally supplying a narcissist? If so, then this video aims to help you recognize some of your own behaviours or patterns that may be contributing to the supply of someone with a narcissistic tendency. This video doesn't aim to demonize any disorders, but rather to help those who are in such dynamic to make necessary adjustments to live a more productive life. If this video could help someone you know, please consider sharing it. It may make a difference. It's hard to see a friend or family member when they are supplying a narcissist or a toxic relationship without realizing. We also recently worked on a video about how to deal with a narcissist as well here: ua-cam.com/video/rEFLum0_6n4/v-deo.htmlsi=MFT80Phc_39n5N5D There are already a lot of amazing resources out there, but hopefully this video can add to the pool of knowledge out there.
It is worse when people don't see they are narcissists and believe them putting you on the spot when they continue to get others to stroke their egos and paint you as the "bad vibe" making everyone also making you feel the same. It's hard when they have that much charisma to manipulate others. No matter what, Trump is a great example. He never admits he is wrong there is always something or someone else to blame and due to how loud and charismatic he is. He will always have followers.
Oh Please answer 😡I'm trying so hard to do something is good but :- 😒All the time i feel like I'm just an unwanted black hole . Eating others and my families - special , time , resources , emotions & feelings 😢It feels like it's good to runaway or die sometimes .
You should watch Sam Vaknin's videos on youtube because it's evidently clear he's a Quack Narc Professor who is diagnosed with N.P.D. God forbid him working with patients in clinical psychology.
True, but your circumstances are saying otherwise. It’s hard, so. If you have friends that can help you, great. Even if you try to have a relationship with whoever the narc is, you might have to cut them off.
“You will never get the truth out of a Narcissist. The closest you will ever come is a story that either makes them the victim or the hero, but never the villain.” ~ shannon l. alder
This line is so true! One of the red flags is that, these narcissists make themselves feel better find loopholes in others . They know they are shallow and don't ever get into a relationship with these narcissists they don't deserve it. They always play like a victim. I'm really proud to cut off,. They even will say that if they are not there then u will not be able to do anything. Please be aware what kind of people u choose to stay.
Narcissistic supply is anything that directs people’s attention towards the narcissist. Supply is attention, validation, praise, compliments. Which may be obtained by the narcissist’s appearance, intelligence, family, money, cars, clothes, connections. If they can’t obtain positive supply, they will settle for negative attention. They may become harmful and abusive. Whatever works for them. Whatever gets them the attention they crave and need.

I am in a relationship with an extremely powerful narcissist - I am talking the stuff you see in movies. I am the only person in the world to tell this narc the truth and this person doesn't like it. Even when I prove through their own recorded writing how they are wrong in making non stop allegations, they instantly turn it around and accuse me. There is no winning with a narc, though thats seriously important to them. I am grateful I live thousands of kilometres away. I love this person deeply, but am not dependant on them for anything anymore. Extremely charismatic, people are drawn to the individual, though having serious gobs of money doesn't hurt their cause in any way; people can absolutely be swayed and bought.Took me decades to escape the circle, and now I look at amusement at what goes on inside that circle. I think what frustrates me, is how they simply can never be wrong. On anything. And everyone else is the problem. Everyone else is blamed - for every tiny thing. The person has an extremely short temper, and is used to bossing people around. Responsible for affecting the lives of tens of thousands of people ultimately through their business decisions. They suck admiration and praise up like its their last breath. Nah, I am glad to be out of that influence, forever.
Inner universe! Love that!! Yes so true and so so sad! One big aha moment for me that completed the final piece of the puzzle and helped me comprehend this horrible picture was the following. I think I was about 7 or 8, one key family member who is notorious for creating unnecessary high contrast interactions to get lil ego hits. They were arguing loudly with someone in public about who knows what! This was embarrassing and happened often! When that was over and they stormed away blaming me and my siblings... they got into yet another heated discussion with someone else. This time they argued a g a i n s t what they had just been arguing FOR only a short time ago! All the bells and whistles and flags of every color were going off in my mind. Like hello we are standing right here! Don't you think people see and communicate about this later! I then understood the totality of NPD with the lack of emotional regulation and validation seeking.
I'm glad you made this video, it reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife, $75k biweekly and a good daughter full of love ❤️
Hello, how do you achieve such biweekly returns? As a single parent i haven't been able to get my own house due to financial struggles, but my faith in God remains strong.
I raised 75k and Christina Ann Tucker is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!

Fun fact: Sam Vaknin is a diagnosed Narc. Who also happens to have a UA-cam channel about cluster b and other personality disorders and mental illnesses.
Fun fact the first narcisist, Narcissus (don’t know if i spelled that wrong) died from drowning after (what i think i remember) trying to admire his own reflection in a lake
Dude wtf, as someone with narcissistic personality disorder, this isnt true at all. Half of npd is seeing yourself of amazing, sure, but the other half is deep, deep self hatred. Its horrible, stop making us seem like villains :(

Hmm while I understand the issue of narcissism concerns many people, I find the comparison between narcissists and parasites a bit unscientific, not to say dehumanizing. This psychology discourse on personality disorders shifts into directions that are more and more problematic tbh.
August 17th will make 2 years since my first encounter with a covert narcissist. We dated for a little over a month before I dumped him and took legal action because a lot of the sexual abuse and violence that occurred in that time. Unknowingly, I was briefly apart of his supply. Because I’m someone who does their best to create safe spaces, open lines of communication, and overall cultivating healthy relationships with others, taking accountability is a huge thing for me. Knowing words of affirmation is a huge thing for most people, I blindly boosted my assailant’s ego. Both him and his flying monkeys (term used to describe a subset of a narcissist’s supply) are still stalking to me to this day despite the court order. I do my best not to acknowledge it because any attention is good attention but it just reminded me of how it’s really been 2 years since I encountered a covert narcissist.

Being a narcissist is not to be conflated with having npd (which is a serious mental health condition). Generally, there exists a criteria of diagnosis. There is a difference between having narcissistic traits and having npd. What's interesting is that npd is comorbid with bpd. The way these two interact is fascinating from an outsiders view. I'm also of the opinion that if you see this happening to a loved one by friends/family, you should probably give them a heads up if they don't already know about it. Narcissistic abuse is something I've endured my entire life, and due to a certain condition I have, I lack the ability to exercise judgment alone. Growing up with narcissists while having a disability like that greatly distorted my view of reality. It's unfortunate that cycles are often repeated due to this same abuse across generations either because trauma or genetics (often times both). Shame is not a good reason to not talk about these things. The golden rule of narcissism; they are beneath you, and they can not touch you nor mind you if you have an iron grip on your reactivity/impulses. You are loved and you are valid!!! Edit: Projecting your trauma onto others and expecting them to fulfill some kind of roll I feel may also be a form of narcissistic supply.
1:34 This sounds really accurate to Rainbow Dash. I think she’s a bit of a narcissist because her parents always praised her and made her win at everything, so she’s used to being the center of attention and the winner 🏅
I'd say Rainbow Dash is more arrogant than narcissistic. Yeah, she can be overconfident at times, which leads her to be unintentionally hurtful to others. But when it's pointed out, she will try to make it right.
itd make you uncomfortable i think. everyone wants to care for themselves and feel loved, but if youre a true narcissist you wouldnt feel bad putting others down to do that.
Oh my gosh. I’m separated from my ex spouse and he’s a narcissist…. Definitely was his primary source of supply for at least six years and he still tries to reel me back in until now. I can’t cut him off from my life completely because I have to co parent with him….
Oh my gosh. I am separated from my ex of 8 years. She accused me of narcissism, and it alarmed me deeply. I did all the internal work - for many years. Eventually I learned through significant, ongoing and heinous manipulation of the courts tendency to favour the mother, who the actual narcissist was and is. I am so weary of people accusing others of being a narc. Very easy allegation to make, with the normal (wanted and given) result being disgust. My experience shows that not all as it seems, even if the person making the accusations seems very easy to believe. Its the behaviours that are not publicised to the same people that are far more telling. Yes, co-parent here. Wish I absolutely wasn't, but I do it to help the children out of that cesspool of manipulation.
I dunno if you mentioned it but they'll fight others for a good source of supply. They'll fight for the attention and admiration of a hood source of supply even if it hurts others- example a narc mother may try to attract her daughters boyfriend/husband in various ways fir attention (not necessarily sexually attract them although that can happen..) but just try to gain thier attention, time, and praises in any way possible
not the whole ass internet misusing the term "narcissist" and proceed to slam on people with a literal PERSONALITY DISORDER. yall i get that someone hurt you but declaring that theyre a bad person just because theyre a narcissist is shitty behaviour 💀💀 the amount of hate people with personality disorders get is so ridiculous smh
Although I love psychology and I'm not saying the study is wrong I feel that it's a bit much to put someone in such a simple box when the mind is so complex. People are many things and not just one particular behavior. I think it does a disservice to science to paint with such a broad brush. Therefore making our own selves hypocrites in the process and unintentionally creating yourself into the very thing we are judging someone else for.
Can you make a video about what to do if you are guilty, I feel very guilty about hacking into somebody’s account and wasting their coins, even though they are poor
npd vs aspd (socio) npd: needs narcissistic supply aspd: does not need this, at all. (i repeat, does not need this) npd: deeply insecure, on the inside. aspd: no self esteem issues, none. Confident, cool, suave is their name. npd: needs people around 24/7. They will wilt like a flower without others around to praise, like, or tell them how pretty they are. aspd: doesn't NEED people, but having you around to drive me places is good, no? npd: insecure aspd: confident npd: "me, me, me, me" aspd: "tell me about you." npd: (narc injury and temper tantrum) aspd: doesn't care npd: sees the truth of the world by their emotions and how they feel only (takes their emotions as fact) aspd: doesn't have many emotions, fake that they do to blend in (will fake cry at funeral) npd: only I, how I feel, and what I want, matters (me, me, me) aspd: only winning and power matters. (see, ayanokouji ending speech)
I wonder what is the percentage of narcissists in the world population! Like in most scenarios, every individual has a combination of multiple traits! Life and people are very complex! We can't even figure ourselves out! Bye!
Once i saw the “pick me” on the thumbnail of this video, i right away thought of the Pick Me Gays, Pick Me Trans, and Pick Me De-transitioner people that kiss up to a certain felon running for President, hoping to stay in his good graces and not be purged for who they are from project 2025.
The short answer is that narcissists can be compared with parasites, leeches. You might compare them with a 2 year old who has temper tantrums when they don't get their way (the "terrible twos"). Or in other terms "emotionally immature" and not self-aware at all. While on the other hand, people with ADHD are in my experience very different, and also often self-aware and cooperative with treatment.
Has anyone got any tips for trying to prevent or stop suicidal thoughts because I could that with that now as I don’t know how much longer I can last when this is one of if not the only things I can think about now I’m lost and can’t have my friends or family think they were doing things wrong when it’s my head and my thoughts doing it all I tried to end it last night and had a panic attack mid attempt which caused me to just grip the knife and not move please help me
Your life is precious, please don't end it! I advise that you see your Doctor ASAP. Remember that everything in life is temporary & life will get better for you. Please stay strong ❤
@@supernoodlejr How are you feeling now? Please stay strong! Maybe to keep your mind off things, keep busy with hobbies if you have any. You are so young, believe me life will get better for you ❤️🙏❤️
@@LovelyLisa1989 a bit better I guess. because before I attempted it I sent a text to my mate what I was thinking of my life at the moment and hoping that they get further than me and do better and just thanked them for being a part of my life and doing there best at helping me and that I wasn’t gonna see them again because I was gonna do what I should’ve 2 years ago when I first felt this way after my grandma died and my mum got breast cancer She just basically said that they will always be there for me if I ever felt this way and not to do as it would kill them all inside and told me to look at the future and what I would miss. Which looking back I’m thankful I said that as that’s the only thing I thought of when I was gonna end it because I read her reply before I was gonna do it and it helped me realise that I hadn’t got the mental capability to end it I had the courage but not the mental capability and my mind just couldn’t take it so I just froze and broke down
My mother is the Narcicist. Apparently as her Eldest Daughter, I didn't provide enough Supply for her. So she tried to end my Life. She now absolutely doesn't remember doing this.
You are either joking or have absolutely no idea how dangerous and damaging it is to be in a relationship with a narcissistic. Please do more research and take care because I'm leaving a 7 year relationship with a narcissistic and it's almost completely ruined my life. I will be in therapy for many years to undo all the damage. It's not worth it to just not be alone...
If you're in a "trauma bond", it might be wise to ask for professional help to break free (emotionally) from the co-dependency (mutually addicted to each other) with a narcissist. Everyone can learn to get their own confidence and spirit back. So can you!
My ex left me for another woman so hes a narcissistic now hes talking behind my back i should never dated him in the first place he was making fun of my hygiene
Hey @psych2go i love your work. It helped me in a lot of ways . I wanted to ask if you could give some information about if i can become an art therapist and work with unicef or unesco or in any other way.

If you have Any suggestions or information for me in this regard please guide me . Forever grateful. Thank you

Hi
It is worse when people don't see they are narcissists and believe them putting you on the spot when they continue to get others to stroke their egos and paint you as the "bad vibe" making everyone also making you feel the same.
It's hard when they have that much charisma to manipulate others.
No matter what, Trump is a great example. He never admits he is wrong there is always something or someone else to blame and due to how loud and charismatic he is. He will always have followers.

How do you distinguish the need for narcissistic supply with that of dopamine chasing that someone with ADHD has/does? It feels incredibly similar.
If u forgot, remember, you’re an amazing human being, and are capable of so many things! The only thing that’s stopping you, is yourself. ☺

Thank you for the loving message! I love you and everybody else too! Don't forget to love youself too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a narcissist’s world, you’re just the audience cheering for their every move. They don’t see you as a person, just a means to an end.
Yes, as a pawn
That sounds more as a socioparh, but narcissist follow a similar pattern except it's more subconscious
Sorry to hear that.. how is your contact with this person at the moment?
just a pawn in there game.
they talk about winning and losing alot.
never understood why but everything is just a game to them.

This sounds really accurate to Rainbow Dash. I think she’s a bit of a narcissist because her parents always praised her and made her win at everything, so she’s used to being the center of attention and the winner 🏅
I'd say Rainbow Dash is more arrogant than narcissistic. Yeah, she can be overconfident at times, which leads her to be unintentionally hurtful to others. But when it's pointed out, she will try to make it right.
I once asked a psychiatrist if I could be a narcissist, he said no…. And then I asked what if I try really hard and put my mind to it.
itd make you uncomfortable i think. everyone wants to care for themselves and feel loved, but if youre a true narcissist you wouldnt feel bad putting others down to do that.
You forgot blame you for thier mistakes
I was staying up all night for this
Oh my gosh. I’m separated from my ex spouse and he’s a narcissist…. Definitely was his primary source of supply for at least six years and he still tries to reel me back in until now. I can’t cut him off from my life completely because I have to co parent with him….
I feel you 😢 I’m in the same spot
Oh my gosh. I am separated from my ex of 8 years. She accused me of narcissism, and it alarmed me deeply. I did all the internal work - for many years. Eventually I learned through significant, ongoing and heinous manipulation of the courts tendency to favour the mother, who the actual narcissist was and is. I am so weary of people accusing others of being a narc. Very easy allegation to make, with the normal (wanted and given) result being disgust. My experience shows that not all as it seems, even if the person making the accusations seems very easy to believe. Its the behaviours that are not publicised to the same people that are far more telling. Yes, co-parent here. Wish I absolutely wasn't, but I do it to help the children out of that cesspool of manipulation.
Would negative attention (infamy, notoriety, etc.) suffice for a narcissist ?
Hi you’re one of my favorite channels. Though I’m feeling pretty sad today :/
Sam Vaknin has a UA-cam channel as well. I'd highly recommend if you want a deeper understanding of narcissism.
Thanks for sharing the resource! How did you first stumble on his channel?
I dunno if you mentioned it but they'll fight others for a good source of supply. They'll fight for the attention and admiration of a hood source of supply even if it hurts others- example a narc mother may try to attract her daughters boyfriend/husband in various ways fir attention (not necessarily sexually attract them although that can happen..) but just try to gain thier attention, time, and praises in any way possible
not the whole ass internet misusing the term "narcissist" and proceed to slam on people with a literal PERSONALITY DISORDER. yall i get that someone hurt you but declaring that theyre a bad person just because theyre a narcissist is shitty behaviour 💀💀 the amount of hate people with personality disorders get is so ridiculous smh
thanks, just "broke up" with one, hit all the points and he was still not ashamed to say he has done nothing wrong, the guts pheww
'The supply' was so relatable, great video, you should make it public.
Why does yt said this is post 2 months ago
i am probably a narcissist and i don't know what to do about it
Points Explained:
1. The Gatsby
2. The Spotlight
3. The Host
Thank you 🌸🌷🌺
I am nothing
I love you, thank you
Dr vaknin IS a great mind !!!!!!
Although I love psychology and I'm not saying the study is wrong I feel that it's a bit much to put someone in such a simple box when the mind is so complex. People are many things and not just one particular behavior. I think it does a disservice to science to paint with such a broad brush. Therefore making our own selves hypocrites in the process and unintentionally creating yourself into the very thing we are judging someone else for.
Psi Plushie is really cute.
Can you make a video about what to do if you are guilty, I feel very guilty about hacking into somebody’s account and wasting their coins, even though they are poor
npd vs aspd (socio)
npd: needs narcissistic supply
aspd: does not need this, at all. (i repeat, does not need this)
npd: deeply insecure, on the inside.
aspd: no self esteem issues, none. Confident, cool, suave is their name.
npd: needs people around 24/7. They will wilt like a flower without others around to praise, like, or tell them how pretty they are.
aspd: doesn't NEED people, but having you around to drive me places is good, no?
npd: insecure
aspd: confident
npd: "me, me, me, me"
aspd: "tell me about you."
npd: (narc injury and temper tantrum)
aspd: doesn't care
npd: sees the truth of the world by their emotions and how they feel only (takes their emotions as fact)
aspd: doesn't have many emotions, fake that they do to blend in (will fake cry at funeral)
npd: only I, how I feel, and what I want, matters (me, me, me)
aspd: only winning and power matters. (see, ayanokouji ending speech)
I wonder what is the percentage of narcissists in the world population! Like in most scenarios, every individual has a combination of multiple traits!
Life and people are very complex! We can't even figure ourselves out! Bye!
I heard 30-40% of population, I could be wrong
Interesting 🤔
I thought this was gonna be a meme until I realized it was psych2go
I haven’t been finding things that apply with me lately, could you do a video about why it hurts to love someone
Once i saw the “pick me” on the thumbnail of this video, i right away thought of the Pick Me Gays, Pick Me Trans, and Pick Me De-transitioner people that kiss up to a certain felon running for President, hoping to stay in his good graces and not be purged for who they are from project 2025.
How do you distinguish the need for narcissistic supply with that of dopamine chasing that someone with ADHD has/does? It feels incredibly similar.
The short answer is that narcissists can be compared with parasites, leeches. You might compare them with a 2 year old who has temper tantrums when they don't get their way (the "terrible twos").
Or in other terms "emotionally immature" and not self-aware at all.
While on the other hand, people with ADHD are in my experience very different, and also often self-aware and cooperative with treatment.
@@frankie555comparing people to parasites is evil, why are you doing it
2nd!
You are right!
What if I know I am narcissist? How do I do better? Or is it irreversible?
Every narcissists stay away from me! Get lost! Beat it!
not ever narcissists is a bad person
I think I am a narcissist 😭
What traits do you relate to though?
Could I have narcissistic behavior...?? 🤔😟
The hate is real on here.
T’as remarqué aussi ? 😂🤣😂🤣
I don't see anyone hating in the comments section.
@@PerceptionVsReality333C’est normal ! Tu l’es 😂😂😂
Why was this posted at 4 am
4 am is when magic happens.
@@Psych2go true
Do you think two narcissists can work together?
LMAO never
In what sense? Like towards a common goal?
@@Psych2go Yes
Is narcissist a nature or nurture trait? Since there is a supply
Research are leaning more towards nature, but usually most things are combination of both.
Damn im ip at 3qm just for this lol
Where are you watching from?
When does narcissism reach into Psychopathy ?
That's a great question. Let us look into the research for this.
Then what's napoleon Complex?
How did you come across this term?
How you upload animations that long si fast
Great question! We usually make them months in advance!
Response to the thunbnail: are you meggy spletzer?
Because you don't look like meggy spletzer so... Nuh uh, nuh uh and most of all NUH UH!!!!!!
Has anyone got any tips for trying to prevent or stop suicidal thoughts because I could that with that now as I don’t know how much longer I can last when this is one of if not the only things I can think about now I’m lost and can’t have my friends or family think they were doing things wrong when it’s my head and my thoughts doing it all I tried to end it last night and had a panic attack mid attempt which caused me to just grip the knife and not move please help me
Your life is precious, please don't end it! I advise that you see your Doctor ASAP. Remember that everything in life is temporary & life will get better for you. Please stay strong ❤
@@LovelyLisa1989I’m 14 my birthdays in 2 months I’m back at school in 4 weeks if I make it and don’t want my family to know
@@supernoodlejr How are you feeling now? Please stay strong! Maybe to keep your mind off things, keep busy with hobbies if you have any. You are so young, believe me life will get better for you ❤️🙏❤️
@@LovelyLisa1989 a bit better I guess. because before I attempted it I sent a text to my mate what I was thinking of my life at the moment and hoping that they get further than me and do better and just thanked them for being a part of my life and doing there best at helping me and that I wasn’t gonna see them again because I was gonna do what I should’ve 2 years ago when I first felt this way after my grandma died and my mum got breast cancer She just basically said that they will always be there for me if I ever felt this way and not to do as it would kill them all inside and told me to look at the future and what I would miss.
Which looking back I’m thankful I said that as that’s the only thing I thought of when I was gonna end it because I read her reply before I was gonna do it and it helped me realise that I hadn’t got the mental capability to end it I had the courage but not the mental capability and my mind just couldn’t take it so I just froze and broke down
My mother is the Narcicist.
Apparently as her Eldest Daughter, I didn't provide enough Supply for her. So she tried to end my Life.
She now absolutely doesn't remember doing this.
That's terrible.. to have a parent who tries to end you, because of something they aren't receiving.
Hello
Hey there!
@@Psych2go How's your day?
Dr vaknin, I have ligma
I’d rather be someone else’s narcissistic supply than a loner or a nobody! #cepv #IMustWin
You are either joking or have absolutely no idea how dangerous and damaging it is to be in a relationship with a narcissistic. Please do more research and take care because I'm leaving a 7 year relationship with a narcissistic and it's almost completely ruined my life. I will be in therapy for many years to undo all the damage. It's not worth it to just not be alone...
If you're in a "trauma bond", it might be wise to ask for professional help to break free (emotionally) from the co-dependency (mutually addicted to each other) with a narcissist.
Everyone can learn to get their own confidence and spirit back.
So can you!
@@frankie555100%! This is the correct way
Thank you very much 🌸🌷🌺
My ex left me for another woman so hes a narcissistic now hes talking behind my back i should never dated him in the first place he was making fun of my hygiene
Tu t’emballes les couilles 😂😂
Hey @psych2go i love your work. It helped me in a lot of ways . I wanted to ask if you could give some information about if i can become an art therapist and work with unicef or unesco or in any other way. I thought you might know about it as your channel also focuses on mental health and i believe it uses art very well into it. If you have Any suggestions or information for me in this regard please guide me . Forever grateful. Thank you
