The fourth reason is for narcissistic supply. Narcissists derive a sense of validation or “narcissistic supply” from their interactions with others, including people they don’t like. Whether it’s through conflict, attention, or negative emotions, they will use their enemies to feed their ego and get emotional reactions that affirm their sense of importance.
Closing Thoughts
In conclusion, the narcissist’s need to keep their enemies close is linked to their need for control, validation, and a fragile sense of self. Narcissists are two-faced, vindictive, selfish, and dangerous to your life. They only care about taking what they can from you. They rejoice in your downfall and have no issues pretending to love or care about you if it means they can get what they want. So, it’s important to spot these parasites before they drain you and do your best to keep them at a distance. The less they know about you, the better.
