A narcissist spends most of their life running away from the consequences of their actions, believing this escape will last forever. In doing so, they become accustomed to being extremely arrogant and walking over other people, never thinking for a second about how their actions impact others. As long as it does not affect them, it’s none of their concern, none of their business. But when the direction of the winds changes, when the universe and situations force them to face the consequences of their actions for the first time, they are hit at a core level. They’re left feeling jeopardized, shaking, and trembling, not understanding what the hell happened.

This creates a dangerous cycle where they become increasingly detached from reality—more entitled, more grandiose, and more destructive with each passing day.
