YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMortification leads to decompensation (deactivation of defenses, including the false self), contact with shame, emotional dysregulation, and acting out (like in BPD).
Shame requires object libido. Narcissist entrains himself to reboot narcissistic libido. Therapeutic hint for BPD.
Abandonment or engulfment provoke borderline mortification: anxiety and emotional dysregulation, decompensation, and acting out. These trigger narcissistic defenses (NPD, secondary psychopathy, covert borderline).
Acting out results in shame and guilt which involve object libido. Therapeutic hint for NPD.
No Narcissistic Supply without Self-supply.
Narcissist’s grandiose fantasy renders input from others narcissistic supply.
When narcissist is mortified, depressed, or otherwise fails to believe his own fantasy, no feedback from others will be perceived as catalyzing supply, only as fake or low-grade supply.
