Here’s the sad part: even if you don’t respond, even if you’ve moved on, they’ll keep trying. They’ll keep recycling their old supply. Why? Because as they age, getting fresh supply is harder and harder. They can’t get it like they used to, so they go back to what’s familiar. But let me tell you what they don’t realize: you’re not the same person anymore. You see through them now. You’re not the same vulnerable, easily manipulated person you were before, and you’re certainly not putting up with their nonsense anymore.
So as they age, as they struggle with fading looks and diminishing supply, they keep turning to the past, trying to rekindle those old flames, hoping for that old rush of power. But it’s a game they can’t win anymore, and deep down, they know it, but they’ll never admit it. The narcissist, as time goes on, keeps trying, keeps clinging, keeps chasing that feeling of being adored. But the truth is, time catches up to everyone, even them, and there’s nothing they can do to stop it.
Now, here’s where things take a twist, folks. You see, there’s a different flavor to the narcissist when they have money. If a narcissist is sitting on a pile of cash, they’ve got a little more independence in their corner. They can still control, still manipulate, still attract people to their orbit. And why? Because money talks. Money gives them the power to pull others in, even other narcissists who are drawn to the green, who need it, who want it. You see, money becomes their new lifeblood. As long as the cash is flowing, as long as that bank account is solid, they’ll always have people around—people who need the money, people who want the comfort that comes with it. So if they’ve got the bucks, they’ve got the crowd. Simple as that.
But here’s the flip side: what happens when the narcissist doesn’t have that cushion anymore? When the money’s not there and the flashiness begins to fade? That’s when the true struggle hits the broken narcissist—the one who’s living paycheck to paycheck without the power to back up their charisma. They’re really in trouble. They’ve got no new supply coming in, no fresh faces to feed their ego. They’ve got to work their charm, but trust me, charm only takes you so far. They’re left scrambling, getting angrier and more bitter because they can’t maintain that control, that attention, that supply they used to. Their world shrinks, their circle gets tighter, and guess what? When their options start running out, they’ll grab onto whoever they can, even if that person isn’t who they truly want.
