 Narcissists are addicted to fame. They are addicted to being known or talked about by many people, not because they have achieved anything significant, not because they have attained something with effort, skill or courage, but because they believe they are inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. They have a strong sense of entitlement. They desire to be liked, admired and supported by many people. As I have said in a previous video, the narcissist is dependent on our reactions. They are dependent on what we do, feel or think in response to what they are doing. It feeds them. It makes them feel as though their false self exists. When you respond to what they are doing, you are acknowledging their false self. You are supporting their delusional fantasy. This is why they have to be the centre of attention. They have to be the person who excites everyone's interest or concern, even if they are the centre of an argument and everyone hates them. It still makes them feel as though they exist. They are always checked to see if people notice them. If some time goes by and no one has noticed them, they feel as though they don't exist. So they always have to do something to make people notice them and they will do whatever they have to do to become famous. It's not because they actually enjoy what they are doing. It's not because it's something they are passionate about. They are just doing it because it gives them the attention and admiration that they need. They are just doing it because it makes people notice them. They are not passionate about what they are doing. They are addicted to people's reactions to what they are doing. They don't really enjoy their work. They enjoy the results of their work. They rank the quality, proficiency or value of the hobbies, activities or people in their life. Not by the satisfaction or enjoyment that they provide, but by how useful, profitable or beneficial they might be. They only care about things that will make them publicly acknowledged. In the narcissist world, everything can be divided into two groups. Things that leave them deprived of attention and admiration. And things that make people react to them. They have no care or passion for these hobbies, activities or people. All they really care about is the reactions that they might generate. The attention and admiration that they might provide for them. They want to be famous. They want to be known by many people. It makes them feel powerful. It gives them the ability to direct and influence people's behaviour and the course of events. It provides them with a constant source of narcissistic supply. It boosts their false sense of self-worth, self-esteem and self-importance. It makes them feel special, as though they are better, greater or different from what is usual. They don't really care about bad publicity. They don't care about things that might cause harm to their reputation. As long as they remain the focus of public attention, that's all that really matters to them. What bothers them is when they are not getting attention. When they are not getting publicity, they hate it when people do not take notice of them. It makes them feel as though they don't exist. And when they begin to feel that way, they will do whatever it takes to get it back. They will do whatever it takes to get people to focus on them again. They will become destructive and excessively extrovert. Some narcissists will even physically attack you just to get you to pay attention to them. Narcissism is everywhere in the media these days. It's all over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. They all want attention and admiration. They don't care about you. They only care about how you react to them. They act as though they are happy and they love themselves. But secretly, they are miserable and they regard themselves with disgust and hatred. Just as they secretly feel worthless and insignificant. Yet they portray an image of superiority. However these narcissists portray themselves, it's always the opposite of how they really feel. They are trying to trick you into believing that they're something they're not. When what they're trying to be isn't something that they're even interested in. All they're really interested in is people's reactions to what they're doing. It is the reactions that make them feel alive. It makes them feel as though their false self exists. They don't really care about being famous. They're more focused on people's reactions to their fame. That's what they're addicted to. That's what makes them feel special and important. But it comes from external sources. It's not generated from within. They are living a lie. But if they can get people to agree with it, it makes it more believable for them. That is why they obsessively promote it. That is why they buy likes or subscribers. They already know that it isn't real. They know that's not who they really are. They know that's not what they're really about. But if they can get people to believe it, it makes it more believable for them. However people react to it is then how they will react to it. Which is why all they're really focused on is people's reactions. That is the only thing that has any value or significance to them. It is the only thing that makes them feel alive.
