In the narcissist’s mind, they’re always the star—the best mother, partner, or hero who can do no wrong. Imagine their disbelief when someone doesn’t recognize their supposed brilliance. It’s like telling them the sky is green. They truly believe they are superior, and when others fail to see or celebrate this, it feels like a personal insult. The question “Don’t they see how great I am?” loops endlessly in their mind.
They don’t just disagree with criticism—they see it as an attack on their very core. This perceived injustice leads to indignation, resentment, and sometimes a vendetta against the person who dared to question their greatness. They obsess over it, ruminate, and seek ways to prove their superiority.
Conclusion
While narcissists paint a picture of invulnerability, certain things they simply cannot get over. Whether it’s the exposure of their true self, the loss of control, the disappearance of admiration, or not being acknowledged as the best, these experiences create cracks in their seemingly impervious armor. Remember, beneath their grandiose exterior, they are mere mortals, wrestling with insecurities and losses they can never truly let go of.
