I’ve learned that laughing at a narcissist can be one of the most effective ways to hurt their egos. Narcissists have an inflated sense of self-importance and like to put on shows in order to get admiration and attention from others.
But when they are laughed at or mocked, it really gets under their skin because it deflates all this pride they take in themselves—like someone has just given them a sharp slap across the cheek!
It’s offensive for those types of people who care so much about how they’re viewed by others, which is why I think it can be such a great way to shut down some narcissistic behavior. Has anyone ever seen this work?
Sometimes, a narcissist might try to joke around with what happened in an attempt to take back the power of the situation. But if that fails, they can become hostile and really indignant, making sure everybody knows how unfunny it is.
This will only make those having fun at their expense laugh even more, which absolutely devastates someone with an excessively positive view of themselves!
When people chuckle about something relating to them not being right or perfect, it’s like a slap in the face for any narcissistic person, as this reminder of imperfection is unbearable for them, so you should definitely use laughter whenever the opportunity arises!
