 The narcissist will steal your energy. It is like the narcissist has a nutritional deficiency. As though they do not have enough of certain nutrients. When they targeted you, they were looking for someone that had something to provide to them. Certain qualities, abilities or talents. Characteristics or traits. Good energy. Money, power, physical attractiveness. They were looking for someone who was full of nutrients. Someone to provide them with nourishment. Someone to provide them with food that is essential for their growth, health and good condition. They were looking for someone to provide them with nutrients or energy to sustain them. But the narcissist didn't have any nutrients or energy to give to you. The narcissist is like junk food. Pre-prepared or packaged food that has very low nutritional value. For a relationship to be healthy or functional, there needs to be an equal exchange of energy. If there isn't an equal exchange of energy, someone is going to be left feeling drained of energy. This is what happens when you are involved with a narcissist. When they consume the nutrients that you have to offer, they are getting nourished. They are being provided with food that is essential for their growth, health and good condition. But when you consume what they have to offer, it's just junk food with very low nutritional value. It leaves you feeling drained, lifeless and very confused. This is why when you are involved with a narcissist, it can seem as though they have more energy than you do. It's because they are using up everything good about you while having nothing to give to you in return. Which then leaves you feeling depleted. They have nothing nourishing to offer you. They have nothing to give to you that will assist your growth, health or good condition. Anything that they give to you will likely prevent you from growing. And it will have a negative impact on your health and good condition. They always leave you worse off than before you met them. Because they have nothing to give to you in return for what you give to them. They have nothing to replenish you. While you are giving out everything that you have to offer and you are not being replenished. So eventually you will be left with nothing. The narcissist has to trick you into believing that they are giving you something nourishing or something full of energy. But all they are giving to you is junk food. You cannot be replenished from consuming junk food. If you are eating junk food every day, eventually you are going to develop a lack of proper nutrition. You are going to have deficiencies and imbalances in your intake of energy and nutrients. You may experience weight loss or weight gain. You might feel tired all the time. You might have a low mood and increase in illnesses or infections. Because you are not being nourished. You are not receiving the adequate intake of energy and nutrients to maintain your health. This is what happens when you are in a relationship with a narcissist. The narcissist is feeding off the energy that you naturally produce. When you are giving them your attention and admiration, your time and energy, your love and affection. You are giving out your resources which are meant to sustain you. Which are meant to strengthen or support you physically and mentally. You are giving your energy and nutrients to the narcissist. They are consuming it and it is nourishing them. They have to get it from you because they cannot produce it on their own. But when you are giving all of your energy and nutrients to them and all you are getting in return is junk food. You begin to get sick. You develop anxiety or depression. You no longer feel fulfilled with life. You don't have the energy or nutrients to recover because you have given it all to the narcissist. And all you got in return was junk food which didn't have the nutrients to replenish you. To strengthen or support you physically and mentally. So now you feel tired all the time. You have a low mood and increase in illnesses or infections. Because of a lack of nourishment. Because you are not receiving the adequate intake of energy and nutrients to maintain your health. Normally we can replenish ourselves. With enough time we can restore ourselves to a former level or condition. We can heal or recover. We can become healthy again. The narcissist cannot do this. They do not have the energy or nutrients within them to do it. They need to have other people for nourishment. They need to have other people to fuel their growth, health and condition. Because the narcissist is nothing more than a container of junk food. Which means that it is not possible for them to nourish you. It is not possible for them to give you the energy and nutrients that you need. They are already aware of this. And that is why they have to conceal their true nature. They have to lie and deceive. They have to steal from you. Because they already know that they have nothing nourishing to give to you. They have to make their junk food look more attractive or interesting. They have to make it seem as though their junk food is actually something very healthy or nutritious. When you first meet them it may seem that way in the beginning. But the longer you stay around them the more depleted you become. Until you finally realise that you have just been robbed of your energy and resources. Everything that sustained you. Everything that maintained your growth, health and good condition. And you realise that you have been left with nothing to help you recover. Nothing to help you restore yourself to your former level or condition. You feel empty and drained of your life and energy. Because now you have the junk food inside of you. While they have all of your energy and nutrients. You gave it away to the narcissist. Because you thought that there was going to be an equal exchange. But the energy and nutrients that they were supposed to give to you was never real. They lied to you. They deceived you. It was only junk food. They need your energy and nutrients. They cannot live without it. And they will do whatever it takes to get it. Any engagement or interaction they have is designed to extract the energy and nutrients from their unsuspecting targets. But they have nothing nourishing to give back in return. Which is why whenever you engage or interact with the narcissist. You are left feeling drained, lifeless and confused. This is how the narcissist steals your energy. The link is in the video description. Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon.
