Jealousy Games: How Somatic Narcissists Manufacture Insecurity
By Festus Joe Addai
For the somatic narcissist, jealousy is a weapon. They don’t just accept admiration — they orchestrate insecurity. Keeping you feeling "not enough" fuels their power, dominance, and emotional control over your mind and heart.
"They don't want your trust — they want your fear of losing them."
How They Manufacture Jealousy
Somatic narcissists deliberately engineer emotional instability by:
- Flirtation Games: Publicly or subtly flirting with others to trigger jealousy and competition instincts.
- Comparative Comments: Mentioning exes, admirers, or attractive strangers in ways designed to make you feel replaceable.
- Social Media Provocations: Posting seductive or ambiguous content to bait reactions from you and others.
The Psychological Trap of Jealousy
- Shifting the power dynamic — you chase them instead of the other way around.
- Keeping you off balance emotionally, making you easier to control.
- Making you feel dependent on their validation to relieve the jealousy they created.
"They manufacture the disease — then offer themselves as the cure."
The Emotional Toll on Victims
Over time, victims trapped in jealousy games experience:
- Crippling self-doubt and diminished self-esteem
- Obsessive comparison to others
- Emotional dependency on the narcissist's attention and approval
Breaking Free from Their Games
The antidote to jealousy-based control is radical emotional sovereignty. You must anchor your worth internally — not in the shifting gaze of someone addicted to making you feel replaceable.
You are not an understudy in their performance. You are the lead in your own life.
