 Hello everyone. Welcome to another live discussion video. Six ways narcissists use baiting to provoke you. You will be able to see the six ways in detail in the actual video but in this discussion video I'd like to hear from you. I'd like to hear about the ways in which the narcissist has baited you into something so please share your comments below but let's do a deep dive into this. Why do narcissists bait you? What is the purpose of it? And the reason why they do that is because they want a reaction out of you and the reason why they want a reaction out of you is because a long time ago they abandoned who they really are. They created a false self, this idealistic version that is everything they want to be but because the false self isn't real it cannot generate the emotional stability from within. It can't generate its own self-worth and self-esteem so that's why they have to bait you in. That's why they need a reaction out of you because it gives them a false sense of importance. It makes them feel powerful and significant, desirable and attractive depending on what emotion they're trying to evoke at that time but that is really the reason why they bait you into anything is because they want to feel a certain way about themselves but they cannot do that on their own. They need you for that. They need you to make them feel better about themselves and they do that by getting a reaction out of you by using the bait. They cannot generate these emotions from within. If they could they wouldn't need your reactions. They wouldn't need to bait you into anything. It's because they created the false self which is based on these ideals of what they think people want, what they think people find desirable and attractive, powerful, important all of these things which is typically something that they've seen in someone in their life who managed to get what they want, who managed to have their desired outcome or result, someone who gets attention and admiration because that's all they're really looking for but I would like to hear from you please tell me below your experiences where the narcissist tried to bait you in. I'm just looking for the comments now. Thunder says your reaction calms them down. They also see it as envy for some reason. That's very true. They want to project their emotions onto you. They want to use you like an object to regulate their emotions and they do see it as envy. Deep down they know that they've just manipulated you but in their minds they do think that you envy them. They trick themselves into believing that. They don't really care about what the truth is. It's just whatever makes them feel better but of course as we know they are the ones who envy us and that is actually why they always try to make you envious of them. They can't really experience or find any real fulfillment in anything directly. They find that from trying to evoke envy and jealousy within other people because they can only experience the satisfaction vicariously through another person's perspective of their situation especially if it's a positive perspective but it's always manipulation. Nothing is ever real with the narcissist. It's always very strategic. It's planned and coordinated. It's orchestrated to produce a desired effect. It isn't real. When the narcissist tries to bait you in you just need to stop and think what are they trying to get me to do and what should come to your mind then is that they're trying to get you to react. They want attention. They want you to notice them and to regard them as interesting or important. They want your emotions. When it all comes down to it they want a part of you and they're trying to trick you into giving a part of yourself to them as circum-twisted as that sounds. It's true. They engage in all of this trickery because they just want a part of you. They want your energy and they'll try all of these tricks and schemes anything they can possibly think of just to extract a part of you because that's what they want. So yeah that's why the narcissist will try to bait you. If you haven't seen the video yet please check it out. It's a really good video. If you don't know yet I am also on TikTok now as well.
