Pathological narcissism is something you can not obtain, you must be born with it, it is estimated to effect approximately 1 person in 100, but how many actual narcissists exist are a constant debate almong psychyatrist, since the line between being narcissistic and being a narcissist is quite thin, there is simply way too little research on narcissism to surely say.

Narcissism is a very special way of thinking and a life long pattern of certain behaviours, a narcissist is in-changeable, the way he is and thinks is deeply rooted in his brain, he is a natural addict to narcissistic supply, he is born with the brain of an alcoholic.

But what does the narcissist do when he is denied narcissistic supply, the narcissist is a smart individual he likes to have plans and he knows that he can’t always get attention at all times on his demand. So he seeks other forms of addictions – alcohol, nicotine, sugar, work, drugs and other substances.

The narcissist collects addictions, so that when he is denied one of them, he has somewhere to turn, one addiction does not quite seem to be enough, he is never quite satisfied so he usualy uses them all as often as possible, he seeks infinite satisfaction.

The hunt for narcissistic supply can be percieved as very annoying to the people around, the narcissist seeks constant attention from the people around – this can be in the form of teasing, poking and basicly annoying everyone in order to achive their attention.

If a person does not know the origin/reason for the narcissists behaviours they will view him as a very wierd person.

Let’s say we have a narcissit who is addicted to cigarettes, sugar and narcissistic supply.

He’s out of cigarettes, he has no sweets at home and no money to buy new.

Then obviusly he will seek extra much narcissistic supply – and will be percieved as even more “annoying” than usually – he knows how much he irritates people by doing this, but he does’nt seem to care, this is because the narcissist feels a very low level of shame and remorse.

If the narcissist can not obtain ANY of satisfactory addictions – he will go into a depressive state of self loathing.
