All in all, narcissists feel a strong need to be the center of attention and will go to any lengths to achieve that. They want to compete with others but may not necessarily feel the need to break people. The harder they can push others, the more shady methods they may employ. If people don’t listen to them, they may rage or try to diminish strong individuals.
In the eyes of the narcissist, everyone is a potential rival. Their internal struggle and lack are projected onto the outside world as a coping mechanism for their own insecurities. They continually pressure others to demonstrate their superiority by lowering the spirits of others in any imaginable way, depleting their energy and making them question their abilities.
They will come back to test you every time you let them re-enter your life, and they’ll make you suffer even more for it. They have an insatiable desire to be the best, needing help even if it means taking advantage of others. Narcissists thrive on empaths and anyone who is potentially codependent, mainly because these individuals always forgive and tend to give others the benefit of the doubt.
At the same time, narcissists enjoy testing the limits of even the most accomplished and knowledgeable people to replenish their own sense of self-worth. They will continue to seek new sources of supply because they are easily bored. If they can’t be like you, they’ll try to destroy you. They are drawn to people who possess qualities they lack and seem to think they must surround themselves with influential individuals to measure their own efforts.
