Due to a split-off childhood trauma that is the cause of their behaviour, people with narcissistic personality disorder or narcissistic behaviour, have a very low self-worth. A narcissist therefore necessarily needs a person who has a low self-worth and is very adapted, so that he can enhance himself. A narcissist can only make emotionally dependent, bully, devalue, criticise, manipulate and ignore adapted people with low self-worth who cannot set boundaries. And this is what a narcissist thrives on. That's why it often happens that a person with low self-worth keeps attracting narcissists into his life.
