What happens when a narcissist cannot obtain a narcissistic supply for a long period of time?

Answer 1

I think they kinda go a little nuts! They begin to question their worth and feel very empty. They will perhaps work long hours to avoid pain. They may try and get attention. They will feel very alone as they see they are not that important aftre all. They may also become angry at people who left them.

Answer 2

"narcissist" is not a precise term, and we don't know what kind of supply you refer to. We assume drugs. That being the case, and operating on the assumption that you refer to a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, we can assume a lot of upset and rage, although it is impossible to predict individual reactions to situations.

Answer 3

A narcissist does not have a conscience. They will find a new source of narcissist supply or already have another source as a back up if they no longer can obtain the fix from the current victim.

Answer 4

By finish, I assume you mean that they cannot get a reaction?? Typically they will devalue or dismiss you. Without a response a true narcissist will burn up inside! Remember that all of their being revolves around what they need. Without a confrontation or a response a narc will eventually fade away

Answer 5

Sometimes they do if the other supply misses some qualities you had that he feels he needs in order to feel better and also to torture both of you to feed his ego.

Answer 6

He simply finds a new source.

Answer 7

They will leave you alone.
