It’s important to understand that narcissists like to feel in control of their environment and are constantly on the lookout for signs of a problem. They are extremely controlling and fear any change. As such, they often try to avoid conflict by blaming others for their mistakes. The fear of being discovered is the primary motivation for narcissists to be abusive and controlling. They keep you constantly on high alert and create the illusion of success by using manipulation tactics to dominate their victims.
However, once you recognize these patterns, making narcissists fear you is easier. By adjusting your responses to them, you can improve the quality of your interactions and elevate your communication skills. The narcissist’s anxiety will increase the more you engage with them, which will only heighten their unease. Anxiety is a constant, vague feeling that a narcissist experiences in both their body and mind. They are paranoid and often think, “What if everything I have built is for nothing?”
