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!” ….

My bf (of 4 years) and I have been having some issues lately. we got into a huge fight about a week ago and he almost broke up with me (totally out of frustration-he said he was sorry and didnt mean it later). I’m currently in counseling to help me overcome some major codependency issues (not drugs or alcohol-just being too needy,clingy) and having better self esteem. I don’t want to feel like i’m going to die if he isn’t around which I know will help us in the long run.
we went to counseling on thursday and the session went well. the therapist wants us to spend the next 3 week apart (not broken up-just not seeing each other) and talking on the phone every Friday.
I’m doing ok now but yesterday (friday) I drove over there to have him look at my car (it’s been having issues and he told me to tell him about it if it did so he can help fix it for me). instead of leaving right after he looked at the car, I cried alot and told him I was scared that no matter how much I changed, he was going to leave me anyways. He held me in his lap and told me “honey, I know exactly how you are feeling and I understand. I love you but we both need this space b/c the counselor said it was best plus, I need the time to regroup and focus on me. you need it b/c you have to work the next 6 nights in a row.” I cried more and said I was sorry and got up to leave. he kissed me on the forehead and smoothed my hair before I got up. as I was heading for the door he called out my name and got up. He gave me a big hug and a kiss and said “honey, it’s ok. you don’t have to be sorry. I love you. you want us to be happy so do the things that make us happy.” I shook my head yes and told him I loved him too and was again sorry. as I walked down the driveway he again said “honey it’s ok.” then shut the door.
I emailed him later on to tell him I was sorry I hadn’t respected the agreement of space we had made and that I wouldn’t bother him anymore (no calls,emails,or showing up). I told him that I would be a changed person when the 3 weeks was up.
We use the same ebay account so I have to get into his email sometimes to check stuff. that’s the only reason I know he hasn’t checked the email. but he didn’t delete it.
and NO it’s not b/c he wants to break up-the therapist flat out asked him that during our session and I told him if that’s what he wanted I would come get my stuff after session and return his key. he told the therapist and me that he wants to work it out.
is he still mad at me? why wouldn’t he check it (or just delete it)? and NO i won’t contact him again for the remainder of the 3 weeks-he’s supposed to call me on fridays.
