Why Narcissists Constantly Need Validation

This has got something to do with the nature of falsehoods.

Falsehoods only align with its own compatible type of falsehoods.

Falsehoods do not align with truth or an incompatible falsehood.

But there’s more, falsehood cannot stand on its own, unlike truth.

Therefore falsehood inherently needs to spread itself by infecting others (i.e. you) to forcibly generate false validity.

For example, you know that things fall down because of gravity. That stands on its own. It does not need validation. Anything incompatible with that basic truth doesn’t bother you. Truth corresponds with reality. Reality itself provides the constant intrinsic validation for truth.

Falsehoods have no such constant bedrock to sit on. When a mind functions purely from falsehood, it needs continuous justifications to stay believed. It is constantly fighting evidence, constantly fighting reality itself, constantly fighting gravity. I’m sure you are familiar that whenever you confront or rebuke a narcissist to uncover their lies, they will spit out a stream of nonstop justifications, excuses, and ridiculous philosophies as well as other distractions. Narcissists will justify, justify, justify.
