A fifth comment could be, “Let’s talk about the last time you made a major blunder.” This statement is an attempt to level the playing field, but narcissists often react defensively, insisting that they are above reproach.
A sixth comment might be, “What’s wrong with you?” This question rarely elicits a constructive response. Instead, it usually deepens the argument, as they will see it as an attack on their character.
Lastly, you might say, “I don’t know if I can keep doing this.” This can provoke anger because it suggests a potential end to the relationship. Narcissists feel the need to control such situations and may react defensively.
I’m sure you could add more comments that trigger their anger. If you want to share some in the comments section, many others would likely appreciate it.
Remember, there is a healthy and appropriate form of anger that establishes boundaries and communicates your needs. However, narcissists struggle to express anger in a healthy way, leading to unhealthy self-absorption and anger.
Instead of getting swept into their lack of maturity, maintain a clean sense of assertiveness. Stand firm in who you are and what you believe. Avoid getting caught up in the circular arguments that accompany their immaturity.
