Narcissists do NOT fear abandonment - they fear being without "supply" and not in total control.
Narcissists will often get depressed when they lack narcississtic supply (some kind of admiration from others.)
No.
They change supply when you see them for who they are; their need for constant attention and adoration trumps any needs you may have.
to ensure future narcissistic supply is available when needed.
I am not sure what "meaningful" means - but many narcissists have long term relationships with their sources of supply (not necessarily with other narcissists).
Some do. They don't want to loose their "blood supply." LEAVE ANYWAY and no contact!!
Narcissism and depression are unrelated. It is my belief that narcissists are prone to depression particularly when narcissistic supply has left. They may even have suicidal thoughts but rarely act on them. Good lord! How would the world survive without them!
Narcissists want as much attention as possible. If you are old supply, they will keep you around as long as they can for whenever they need it. Old supply is just main supply they aren't able to get as much attention from, or they've chewed you up and spit you out and have become bored, but if you still pay attention to them, they will still seek supply from you whenever they need it (when they have suffered narcissistic injury, or are temporarily without a main supply) . why would you care, just run for life! if you are old supply: run! you're just a toy they've gotten sick of, but like to remember playing with... if you are current supply: run! you will be old supply yourself once they've found a better quality supply.
Anyone could do either - in the view of many narcissists everyone else is there to flatter and supply them with what they need emotionally. You can go from being overvalued if you are doing this 'pumping up' to being apparently hated and put down viciously (often behind your back too) as soon as you don't do what they feel you should be doing.
Narcissists are capable of anything since they don't think like normal people, but it's my opinion that they never discard good supply unless they have other supply (new or old) lined up.
Empathically not. Narcissists are incapable of loving. Idealization - the unrealistic, fantasic, pathological, and utilitarian adulation of a source of narcissistic supply - has nothing to do with love.
