✨ Narcissists thrive on validation because it feeds their self-esteem and inflated self-image. 🌟 This constant need arises from deep-seated insecurities and a fragile self-worth. When they fail to receive the validation they crave, they may react with anger, withdrawal, or even intensifying their manipulative behaviors to regain control.

🔍 Recognizing this pattern can help you set healthy boundaries. If you or someone you know is navigating a relationship with a narcissist, remember: their need for validation is not a reflection of your worth. You deserve respect and genuine connections! 💪❤️ #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #Validation #MentalHealthMatters
