NPD attraction types
Since there are so many other attraction terms, we’ve decided that there need to be versions that are unique to NPD!
Efodian Attraction - a form of attraction that someone with NPD or traits feels towards someone whom they get/want supply from. This attraction is not abusive and can easily mimic other forms of attraction, such as romantic, sexual or platonic. In some cases, this can also be considered a subtype of pseudo- attraction

FLAG
• Dark Pink-Red and Orange: mimicking romantic and sexual attraction
• Yellow: supply being filled
Temian Attraction - a form of attraction that someone with NPD or traits feels towards someone they look down on, but still enjoy. It may feel like looking down on a pet that you find silly or stupid, but with amusement and affection
