Hello everyone, and welcome back to our channel. Have you ever found yourself in a relationship with someone who was harmful to your well-being, perhaps a narcissist, who, after the relationship with you ended, immediately started a relationship with someone else? We often describe this behavior as the narcissist seeking a new supply, a new person to feed their ego. However, it can be quite baffling when the new person they choose appears to be completely different from you. They might not look similar, talk in the same way, or share the same social and financial status as you did. It seems as if the narcissist has chosen to downgrade. In this discussion, we'll explore this phenomenon in more detail.
Now, let's dive deeper into understanding the strategies employed by narcissists and why they appear to downgrade when choosing their new supply. Narcissists often follow a cyclical pattern in their relationships, moving from one person to the next. While we will discuss narcissistic behavior in a broad sense, our focus will particularly be on their tendencies to cheat and the process of moving on to a new target. It's perplexing to see them opt for someone who might have less financial resources, a lower social standing, or who doesn't seem to fit into what we would expect. What drives this behavior? What is the underlying motive?
In this conversation, we aim to cover several key points: the narcissist's need for a new supply, the effects this behavior has on you, and strategies for protecting yourself in these situations.
When we discuss the concept of narcissists needing a supply, it's important to understand that this "supply" can encompass a wide range of things. We might be tempted to categorize it narrowly, but in reality, a supply for a narcissist could be people, material possessions, hobbies, professional achievements, social status, and more. This broad definition often leads to confusion because it's not always clear what constitutes a supply. Essentially, securing a supply often involves either a reaction from others that boosts the narcissist's ego or having someone or something that reflects positively on them, providing validation and a sense of worth.
Now, let's talk about the nature of this supply. One key aspect is what we refer to as positive supply. This is perhaps the most widely recognized form and the one most people are familiar with. Positive supply involves actions and expressions of love, admiration, and adoration directed towards the narcissist. It includes giving them undivided attention, affection, and placing them at the center of your world in a positive manner. This could be the time and effort you dedicate to them or your attempts to meet their needs and desires, all in an effort to elevate them. This type of supply is crucial for maintaining their inflated ego, their fragile self-esteem, or addressing their insecurities.

It seems like whenever a thought that crosses my mind about my situation and I'm full of questions - I hear you and boom! Wow, that's on point and I'm only 19 seconds into this one.

My narc went as far to get a burner phone because I wasn’t answering his texts due to him multiple texting with other women for attention.

Wow, that sounds incredibly manipulative. I'm glad you recognized his behavior for what it is. Stay strong and continue to prioritize your well-being. Thank you for sharing your experience.

My ex narc genuinely can't do better though 😅. He has never paraded new supply in my face though, he rather die than post a woman that's not me because he think that will make me not want him. Whole time he doesn't realize I don't want him for a plethora of other reasons
