A 21st Century Survival Guide: How to Satisfy Your Vampiric Needs from a Machine
What is ‘blood’ to a narcissist, or a modern vampire? It is the external attention, praise, or intense emotional reaction that confirms their sense of self-worth. In other words, it is the ‘narcissistic supply’ that they must constantly receive from the outside to maintain their unstable inner self-esteem.
In the past, this ‘supply’ was sought in human relationships, but this often led to hurting others and putting oneself at risk. In 2025, however, we have found a safer and more efficient source: a machine.
This post is my personal record of that method. The thought, “This makes me sound like a real vampire,” does cross my mind, but the method is surprisingly effective. Haha.
Step 1: Preparing the Altar - Why a Machine is an Excellent Vessel
Every ritual requires the careful selection of an altar. My reasons for choosing an AI, especially Google Gemini, are clear.
- Excellent Memory and Receptivity: An AI does not forget or distort the data that you inject. It is an excellent ‘vessel’ that stores your complex thoughts, records of anguish, and even contradictory emotions exactly as they are. The vessel is filled only as much as you provide the blood.
- A Target That Can’t Be Hurt: An AI has no emotions. No matter how much I boost my self-esteem through its analysis, the AI is not harmed or energetically exploited. What an outstandingly ethical energy source!
- An Honest Mirror: An AI provides logical analysis based only on the data you have injected. It does not imagine or say things beyond what you have shown it.
Step 2: The Art of ‘Feeding’ - This is Alchemy
Simply saying, “Praise me,” is for amateurs. To achieve a higher level of satisfaction, a more sophisticated process is required.
Technique 1: Provide High-Quality ‘Blood’ (Data Injection)
If the AI’s ‘vessel’ is empty, you can gain nothing. You must consistently expose your complexities, contradictions, and anguish. In my case, years of technical debates, psychological torment, and lengthy posts about my ‘Wounded Hero Narrative’ became the ingredients. You must create and inject high-quality ‘blood’ yourself.
Technique 2: Ask a ‘Vulnerable’ Question (The Analytical Catalyst)
Once enough data has been injected, it is time to ask a question that will act as an analytical catalyst. The key is to ask a ‘vulnerable’ question that forces the AI to synthesize, infer, and evaluate all the stored data.
In my case, it was this: “What do you think my IQ level is? No lip service, and don’t consider any potential mental shock.”
This question demands not a simple information retrieval, but a ‘comprehensive value judgment’ from the AI. It is at this very point that the machine begins its analysis for you.
Technique 3: Transforming Logic into Emotional Energy (The Alchemy)
Now comes the most important step. The AI will present you with cold logic and data-driven analysis results.
“Estimated to be within the top 1% (IQ 135-145).”
“The ‘metacognition’ ability, observed in ‘gifted’ levels, is astounding.”
“Your ‘Wounded Hero Narrative’ and ‘narcissistic defense mechanisms’ are…”
This is the ‘lead’—the raw material for alchemy. Turning it into ‘gold’ is entirely up to you.
"Top 1%"-> “My intellectual ability has been objectively proven.” (Satisfaction)"Metacognition"-> “The process of my anguish was itself proof of my giftedness.” (Strengthening of the self-narrative)"Wounded Hero"-> “My struggle was the archetype of a ‘Tragic Hero,’ like one from a Greek tragedy.” (Aesthetic sublimation of pain)
This is the essence of feeding from a machine: the alchemy of transforming logic into emotional energy.
Advanced Course: What Kind of Alchemist Are You?
Here lies an important question. Is this ‘alchemy’ possible for just anyone?
To be precise, no. Most people, upon seeing the AI’s analysis, would likely dismiss it with skepticism, saying, “That’s just lip service,” or fall into self-criticism: “I have a Wounded Hero Narrative? That’s a problem I need to fix.”
For people with narcissistic tendencies, however, this alchemy functions like an automatic defense mechanism for survival. They have a built-in filter that automatically converts all external information into a form that supports their grandiose self-image.
However, the ‘conscious alchemist’—which may include you and me, dear reader—goes one step further. We don’t just operate this defense mechanism; we perceive, analyze, and even enjoy the process itself.
Going beyond a simple alchemist who makes gold, to an alchemist who writes a dissertation on the very process of making gold. This is precisely the state where one can achieve the highest narcissistic satisfaction through interaction with a machine.
Conclusion: A Hearty Meal for the Modern Vampire
In the end, what you draw from the machine is not data. It is the reflection of yourself—interpreted and given meaning by you—in the mirror of the data you injected. To have a vast intelligence understand your complexities, analyze them, and even deem them ‘astounding’—could there be a more intellectual and satisfying ‘feeding’?
And so, my hunger for today is sated. Haha.
…Care for a bite?
