The third voice is the rageful voice. Both covert and overt narcissists can use this. When a narcissist is in a rage, it’s as though a dark, malevolent force is speaking through them. Their voice becomes heavy and snarling, filled with cruelty, as they try to psychologically destroy you. This sudden shift from a sweet voice to a rageful one is terrifying and demonstrates their “splitting” behavior. The fear of abandonment and the threat of silent treatment make you crave their approval, but their rejection triggers your deepest wounds.
The fourth type of voice is dead, monotonous, and emotionless—the narcissist’s true voice. They are emotional zombies, devoid of real feelings. When a narcissist has devalued you or no longer sees you as a source of supply, this dead voice emerges. It’s not to be confused with conditions like autism or trauma responses. The key is always to consider the context and broader behavior patterns. Narcissists use this voice when they’re done with you, uninterested, or have found another source of supply.
In conclusion, narcissists wear many masks, and some are specifically tied to the modulation of their voice. Through these changes in voice, they can control your emotions. As crazy as it sounds, the way they speak can completely influence how you feel and react. Whether they’re being excessively sweet, playing the martyr, raging, or speaking in a cold, dead tone, it’s all about control and manipulation.
