What exactly does a narcissist want in a relationship?

By Jay Laffenwright

Narcissists are maniacal human parasites, sorely dependent on others to provide them with the source they lack.

The “source” represents anything they want that they feel incapable of providing for themselves - attention, edification, time, money, sex, power, prestige, social status, access, etc. You are and always will be the audience to their lifelong stageshow - whether family, friend, mate or co-worker - you are the giver, the victim. They are takers.

There’s no extent of manipulation that they will not use to drain any accessible victim for what they want. Like all parasites, they seek out the vulnerable, latch on for dear life, and suck you dry. They care nothing about providing for your needs. They do not appreciate what you do, and really do not differentiate between victims - as long as their needs are met. If someone else supplies the need, they’ll drop you like bad habit or keep you for back up supply. In fact, there’s never enough supply. They will take it from as many suppliers (suckers) as they can juggle, and most will eventually feel neglected and leave.

Narcissists have developed into people who are literally unable to empathize or genuinely care about other people’s needs. They will give, but only the bare minimum that required as a tactic to continue getting what they want. It will never be 50/50. That would make them feel like they have lost too much. To be clear, their personal goal is to take as much and give as little as humanly possible.

If they feel denied or don’t get their way, they will flip from loving to hateful, nasty, degrading and blaming in a split second, then back like a true Jekyll & Hyde.

Regardless of the facade of normality, these are broken mentally ill people who use others until they die. If you’re a giving, loving person, beware. These blood suckers are looking for you.
