English term or phrase: Narcissistic supply
Narcissistic supply is a concept introduced into psychoanalytic theory by Otto Fenichel in 1938, to describe a type of admiration, interpersonal support or sustenance drawn by an individual from his or her environment and essential to their self-esteem.

The term is typically used in a negative sense, describing a pathological or excessive need for attention or admiration from codependents, or such a need in the orally fixated, that does not take into account the feelings, opinions or preferences of other people.

agree  Ramunas Kontrimas: Sutinku, tik 'puoselėjanti' labiau vartojama teigiamame kontekste, o čia reikia neigiamo, tai gal stiprinanti ar skatinanti

  -> geras pastebėjimas. Galbūt netgi "narcisizmą kurstanti aplinka" – neigiama konotacija, nors gal ne visai tikslu.
