Number 1: It props up their false self and over-inflated ego.
People with a destructive narcissist personality pattern, In other words, people who land on the spectrum of destructive narcissism, go through life with an intense need to start and win arguments because it props them up, meaning it boosts their over-inflated ego. It helps keep their false persona, including their false sense of superiority intact. It lets them know that they’re alive, important, and significant, even if in a highly dysfunctional and destructive way.

Low vibrational beings will draw on and literally siphon the intense emotion, energy, and motion, coming off of their target. And this is especially true in the dynamic between the empath and the destructive narcissist. But, again, there’s more to it.
