SE1 EP 12 - The Narcissist Injury
What you are about to listen to, is a real recording. This was a result of a narcissist injury. This recording was from the very beginning, and start of how things quickly escalated. I am using this as an example of how horrible, and hateful a narcissist can be. The backstory of this conversation, was the attempt of this person "hacking" my social media accounts, email ect., and my quick actions to cut off this person from having access. I had just realized that things were quickly coming to light, finding out all the secrets and learning that the mask had just fallen. When you begin to connect the dots, you'll find that they don't take kindly to being accountable for their own destruction. The Definition A narcissistic injury occurs when narcissists react negatively to perceived or real criticism or judgment, boundaries placed on them, and/or attempts to hold them accountable for harmful behavior. Narcissistic rage is a psychological construct that describes a reaction to narcissistic injury, which is conceptualized as a perceived threat to a narcissist's self-esteem or self-worth. A challenge to their confidence. People with NPD build up confidence in themselves by continually getting away with lies or false personas. When someone pushes them and exposes a weakness, people with NPD may feel inadequate. That unwelcomed emotion can cause them to lash out as protection. Sense of self is questioned. If people reveal that someone with NPD isn’t as capable or talented as they pretend, this challenge to their sense of self may result in a cutting and aggressive outburst.
