Have you ever experienced a moment when someone who seemed extremely confident suddenly lost control? Have you witnessed sudden outbursts of anger, silent revenge, or excessive victim play? Why do narcissists not tolerate rejection and become even more dangerous when their sense of power is taken away?
There is a type of narcissist that is particularly unpredictable – those who cannot bear defeat. Their personality is built on a fragile illusion of power, but when that collapses, they collapse too. And when they fall, they want to take everyone around them down with them.
Narcissus all his identity They build on an image of who they are. This is not a true awareness of themselves, but a construction that they feed on affirmations, admiration and control over others.
It seems like they are always one step ahead of everyone else, like they have everything under control – but in reality, that's just delicate balance, which can collapse in an instant.
They can't stand doubt. They can't stand defeat.
They can't stand for anyone to see their weaknesses. But because those weaknesses are always there, hidden somewhere in the background, they live with them as a constant fear that someone will recognize that they are not as powerful as they seem.
And when that happens – when someone says "no"When something doesn't work out for them, when life doesn't reward them the way they expect – everything inside them turns inside out.
What used to look like pride, becomes poisonous resentmentWhat was once charm becomes cold contempt. What was once confidence turns into a destructive war against anyone who has "betrayed" them.
When pride becomes a prison
The more they try to keep up their show, the more they get caught up in their own lies. They don't just lie to others - they lie to themselves too.
They are convinced that they are better, smarter, more worthy than everyone else. And when reality betrays them, when it turns out that they are not infallible, that they are not irreplaceable, that they are no longer at the top – that is when their plight turns into something dangerous.
They won't accept responsibility. They will not admit their mistakes. Instead, they will destroy, manipulate, and seek revenge.
Anyone who crosses their path can become the target of their rage. It doesn't matter if you once helped them, supported them, loved them - if they see you as a threat, they will attack you.
Their pain doesn't seek a solution. It seeks an enemy.
They're not looking for forgiveness. They're not looking for reassurance. They don't care about what's right or wrong. You might think you can convince them, that you can calm them down, that you can show them that the world isn't as cruel as they think.
But the truth is that for such people, no explanation, no hand of reconciliation, no logic is enough. They don't want to find a way out of the darkness. They want everyone else to get lost in it.
The only solution: escape
You can stay and try to understand. You can fight, you can argue, you can try to fix something that seems broken. But remember – their game is not a game of reason. It's a power play..
And the only way not to lose in this game is to not participate in it at all.
