NewNarcissists are emotional vampires in the most clinical sense. Their need for validation and supply is insatiable, and those closest to them pay the cost.

It is the depletion that comes from constantly managing someone else's ego while having your own needs dismissed entirely. Naming this dynamic is one of the first steps toward healing and toward setting your energy aside for people who actually reciprocate.
If you have been in a relationship with a narcissist, you know the feeling. The exhaustion. The confusion. The sense that you gave everything and somehow ended up with less than nothing.
