Well, they are like animals. Animals do it anytime, anywhere. They don’t care. They don’t have that kind of awareness. That consciousness is missing in there. So is with narcissists. They’re animals in that way. Back then, as a child, I truly concluded that my father was an animal. The way he eats, the way he sleeps, the way he carries himself around people—all of that is quite primitive, old—um, it’s reptilian in nature. It’s interesting to know that they also feel shame, but selectively, meaning that when they perceive a threat or feel like somebody is putting them down, harassing them, or insulting them, they get activated, charged up, and ready to fight.
But when doing something like this, they think there is no shame in it. When I say narcissists are delusional, I just don’t mean it in a symbolic or metaphorical way. I literally mean it because this is pure delusion. How can someone justify their immoral state to themselves and say it’s completely okay when it’s not? But at the same time, take offense at something insignificant that was not intended by the one who was labeled as the offender. It is totally crazy to me. I can’t make sense of it. It almost looks psychotic in that nature, but I must also point out to you that they’re fully aware of what they’re doing. It’s not like they are crazy. They know what they’re doing and how that is impacting you.
And the conclusion is that they do not care, period. They do not care how it is impacting you. If they feel good about it, if it excites them, if it gives them some kind of high, they’ll do it again and again and again. Now I would like to know about your experiences. How have you witnessed this in the narcissist who hurt you? If yes, drop your answers in the comments below and help other survivors feel less alone in their journey of healing and recovery. With that, let’s bring this episode to an end, and I’ll talk with you in the next one. As always, let the healing begin and continue.
Sharing is caring!
