Self-supply is critical in the regulation of the narcissistic personality, especially during the schizoid phases. These are some of the techniques the narcissist uses to self-supply:

Reframes reality
Inflated, counterfactual self-perception (good person victimized or paranoid ideation)
Reassigns weights to sources of supply with you as sole arbiter
Converts negative to positive supply (locus of grandiosity)
Future or past orientation (will be adulated in the future or would have been appreciated in the past)
Self-aggrandising referential ideation
Delusional revenge fantasies
Magical Thinking
