Number 1: S£x Addiction: Feeding the Ego Through Physical Validation.
Narcissists often use s£x as a tool to validate their worth, exert power, and manipulate others. For them, s£x is less about intimacy and more about gaining admiration, dominance, or control. They thrive on the chase, the conquest, and the attention they receive from potential partners.
S£x addiction for narcissists can take different forms. Some engage in promiscuity, constantly seeking new partners to satisfy their need for attention and approval. Others may become serial cheaters, even if they’re in a committed relationship. Their cheating isn’t always about physical pleasure—it’s about feeling powerful, desired, and superior to their partner. They often justify their actions by blaming others, claiming their partner wasn’t giving them enough attention or affection.
The addiction doesn’t end with the act itself. Narcissists may boast about their s£xµal conquests or use them to create jealousy and competition among others. This keeps them at the center of attention and feeds their need for validation. However, their inability to form genuine emotional connections often leaves their partners feeling used, betrayed, and emotionally devastated.

Number 2: Stealing: The Thrill of Taking What’s Not Theirs.
Stealing is another shocking addiction that some narcissists develop. This doesn’t always mean physical theft, like shoplifting or stealing money. Narcissists are also emotional and intellectual thieves. They take credit for other people’s ideas, manipulate others into giving them what they want, or even steal someone’s sense of self-worth.
When narcissists steal physical items, it’s often not about the object itself but the thrill of getting away with it. They feel a rush of power and superiority when they outsmart others or break the rules without consequences. This behavior can extend to stealing opportunities, relationships, or even someone’s reputation through lies and manipulation.
On an emotional level, narcissists steal energy and confidence from those around them. They may gaslight their victims, making them doubt their own reality, or manipulate them into feeling guilty for things they didn’t do. By breaking others down, narcissists feel stronger and more in control.
