Ignoring us..taking away what we desire and NEED most…ATTENTION

We use the SILENT TREATMENT when we are defeated….know, read and use this to your advantage. A libra hurt my sister…so now im exposing all of us!

Very much as a drug addict Libra males would react to the absence of his particular drug. The Libra male constantly consumes (really, preys upon) adoration, admiration, approval, applause, attention and other forms of Narcissistic Supply (attention). When lacking or deficient, a Narcissistic Deficiency Dysphoria sets in. The Libra male is and looks depressed, his movements slow down, his sleep patterns are disturbed (he either sleeps too much or becomes insomniac), his eating patterns change (he gorges on food or is unable even to look at it). He is be constantly dysphoric (sad), anhedonic (finds no interest in the world, no pleasure in anything or in any of his former pursuits and interests).

He is subjected to violent mood swings (mainly rage attacks) and all his (visible and painful) efforts at self-control fail. He may compulsively and ritually resort to an alternative addiction – alcohol, drugs, reading. This constitutes a futile effort of the narcissist both to escape his predicament – and to sublimate his aggressive urges. His whole behaviour seems constrained, artificial, full of effort and toil.

The libra male gradually turns more and more mechanical, detached, unreal. His thoughts constantly wander or become obsessive and repetitive, his speech may falter, he appears to be far away, in a world of his narcissistic fantasies, where Narcissistic Supply is aplenty.

He withdraws from this painful world which knows not how to appreciate his greatness, special skills and talents, potential, or achievements. The Libra thus ceases to bestow himself upon a cruel universe, punishing it for its shortcomings, its inability to realise how unique the narcissist is. A schizoid mode sets in: the Libra isolates himself, a hermit in the kingdom of his hurt. He minimises his social interactions and uses “messengers” to communicate with the outside. Devoid of energy, the Libra can no longer pretend (be fake) or succumb to social conventions. His former compliance gives way to open withdrawal (a rebellion of sorts). His former smiles are transformed to frowns, courtesy becomes rudeness, emphasised etiquette used as a weapon, an outlet of aggression, an act of violence.

The Libra, blinded by pain, will try to hide it, (giving you the impression he does not care, when he really does alot) seeks to restore his balance, to take another sip of the narcissistic nectar. In his quest, the narcissist Libra males turns to and upon those nearest to him. His real attitude emerges: for him, they are but tools, one-dimensional instruments on the path to gratification, Sources of Supply or pimps of such supply, catering to his narcissistic lusts.

He regards them as shallow, no longer functioning objects. In his wrath, he tries to mend them by forcing them to perform again, to function. This is coupled with horrendous and torrential self-flagellation, a deservedly self-inflicted punishment, or so the libra male narcissist feels. In extreme cases of deprivation, the narcissist may entertain suicidal thoughts, this is how deeply he loathes his self and his condition.

Through all this, the Libra is beset by a pervading sense of nostalgia. It is a malignant variety, harking back to a past, which never existed except in the thwarted grandiosity of the Libra. The longer the lack of Narcissistic Supply (attention), the more this past is glorified, re-written, the more you are missed and mourned. This serves to enhance all the other negative feelings. Put together, it already amounts to what might be clinically described as depression.

The Libra then glides into the shores of paranoia (what if i cant get her back?). From his mental closet, he draws a model of a prosecuting world (like its your fault and blame), incorporating in it those around him and events in his recent life. This gives meaning to what is erroneously perceived by the libra as a sudden shift from over supply to under or to no supply (such over and under valuations are typical of him). The apparent diminishing of the Narcissistic Supply is best explained by a theory of conspiracy. The narcissist libra male then – in pain, in despair, in fear – embarks upon an orgy of self-destruction intended to generate “alternative Supply Sources” (attention) at any cost. (mostly

I’m sorry about your sister being hurt by a Libra. I know how it feels to be in love and then be hurt by a libra. Most of what you have said is right…about alcohol abuse and insomnia…and about the attention seeking part. I feel they shoot themselves in the toe all the time. But then, in Chris Rock’s words,” If you haven’t contemplated murder…you haven’t been in love!” ….

Question by : If alcoholism is a disease, why don’t people just go to the doctor?
Wouldn’t it be easier to go to rehab and therapy instead of going to Alcoholics Anonymous? How can they expect to get better if A.A. says alcoholism is a lifelong disease? Why is it that alcoholism is called a disease but doing cocaine or other drugs isn’t? I understand they might be ashamed but they need to get over that if they want to get better.

You apparently don’t have a good understanding about alcoholism. It is an addictive disease, just like drug abuse/smoking/any other substances and is difficult, at best, to treat yourself. Most people do not have insurance that would cover rehab and therapy which can run tens of thousands of dollars. Many have gone to their doctor for help with this initially but, once they go back to drinking, they are embarrassed because they do not have enough “will power” to stop which is foolish. It takes support, medications and a physician to help anyone through this process. The support is what AA does. Without it, many go back to their old patterns. None of this is easy for anyone who has an addiction and failure rates are very high.

Question by abigail s.: I want to find an alcohol rehab in Wyckoff, New Jersey but I don’t know how. Can anyone help me with this?
I just really want to help an old friend of mine. We’ve been friends since childhood and I didn’t anticipate that it would end up like this– that she would someday (which is now) be an alcoholic. We have always looked out for each other, and she has always been kind of like a big sister to me. So now it’s my turn to be like a big sister to her by helping her find an alcohol rehab for herself. How will I do this?

A good thing to do would be to take her to a doctor. The doctor will be able to assess her situation as well as tell you of the treatment programs and alcohol rehab that you should take her to. You can also check out the links below that I have provided. These contain lists of the alcohol rehabs in the area you have specified. I really hope that your friend gets well soon. It’s always tough to see a loved one suffering from the effects of alcohol addiction. Good luck.

Question by : Does your governments and religions allow you to use alcohol or do they pretend they don’t know that you are?
We Aliens are not allowed to use any intoxicating substances at all. In fact it never crosses our minds. But we see Earthkind walking around sloshed all around your planet. We’re not even talking about the abuse of other chemical substances. This behavior may compel us to wrap up our missions trying to be of help to you.

How does he afford the booze? Alcoholism is expensive too.

EDIT: yes I know its a serious problem, but as you said only the friend can help himself. PLUS, this guy is wanting to know about “free” programs – looking for a handout, and while it may be for a good cause, I was just making the point that his friend obviously has the money for a rehab program, but he has to stop buying the booze.
