They simply enjoy confrontation, the fight, the drama, the competition, and the game. Mostly, they enjoy winning. And, again, remember, winning for them means you are losing in ways that will have a detrimental, if not completely devastating, impact not only on your self-esteem but also on your emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being. Because they operate from an overinflated ego, often with a delusional sense of entitlement, grandeur, and superiority, their need to be right at all costs will not only be stunning but also, as I just said, incredibly harmful to anyone who engages in the nonsense and insanity with them, especially if you’re doing so on a regular basis. The more empathic you are, the more true this will be for you. Why? Because it’s never going to be a level playing field. Understand that narcissists have zero boundaries, and I mean zero. They are, at the very least, empathy impaired, if not lacking in conscience entirely. They also have zero issues with lying, twisting, distorting, omitting, and misleading. And this is as true of the covert or more meek and vulnerable narcissist as it is of the more overt and grandiose narcissist.
It’s important to understand that narcissists will be willing to go to any lengths, and they’ll be willing to say whatever it takes to win. And winning for them means not only discrediting and demeaning you by making you look bad but also hurting you in whatever way possible. They’ll use anything they can against you, including deeply personal or sensitive disclosures. Whatever they think will get the job done, no matter how cruel, untrue, or bizarre, Nothing is off-limits for these folks. Keep in mind that this will be true during the actual fight or argument as well as after the fact when recounting their version of the story to their enabling little entourage, flying monkeys, and little minions.
When The Narcissist Realizes They’ve Lost… YOU!
