 Five signs you have hurt the narcissist, five signs who have caused them emotional pain. It doesn't take much to hurt a narcissist. It may seem like any little thing you do can upset them. When you are around the narcissist, you may find yourself walking on eggshells. You may find that you have to be extremely cautious about your words or actions because they are easily upset or annoyed. Sometimes that emotions can show in certain behaviours. Their behaviour can reveal if you have caused them emotional pain. So here are five signs you have hurt the narcissist. One, anger or narcissist's degrade. When a narcissist is hurt or upset, it usually comes out as anger or rage. If the narcissist appears to be angry, this is an obvious sign that they are hurt or offended by something. When a narcissist is hurt, they lose control of their emotions. They don't know how to deal with emotional pain, so it will normally result with them lashing out at you. They will try to make you feel the same way they do, so that they can regulate their emotions at your expense. Two, silent treatment. When the narcissist ignores you, this is a sign that you have hurt them. They do this because it's their way of regaining control over the situation. They think that it puts them in a position of power where they are the ones who decide whether or not they want to engage with you. The narcissist will also use the silent treatment as a form of punishment. They will use it to hurt you, which again regulates their emotions. So if the narcissist isn't talking to you as much, or if they block you on social media, this is a sign that you have hurt them. Three, changing the conversation. If you are having a discussion about something and the narcissist changes the conversation, it's because they don't want their mask to slip. They don't want to expose themselves. So instead, they will think of something else to talk about. They will try to divert the conversation in a different direction because you caught them off guard. They were not prepared for it. Everything the narcissist does is an act. If you ask them something on the spot, it pulls them out of the act. So then they have to think of something else to say to cover it up. When the narcissist reacts offensively or tries to change the conversation, this is another sign that you have hurt the narcissist. Four, triangulation. The narcissist will compare you to someone else. They will start spending more time with other people. They will do anything to make you feel inadequate as though you're not important to them because at some point that's how you've made them feel and it may have been without you even realising. Narcissists are very sensitive people but anytime that you see them trying to make you envious or jealous of someone or something, it's a sign that you have hurt them. When they try to hurt you, a clear sign that you have hurt the narcissist is when they try to hurt you. If they say or do anything that is intended to hurt you, that is a clear sign that you have hurt them. Narcissists are very petty, vengeful people. They always have to retaliate. They always have to have a comeback even though you may not even know what you've said or done to make them mad. They're very sensitive. They're paranoid and hyper-vigilant. So they're always on edge. They're always scanning the environment for threats and they always find evidence of what they're looking for because whatever you focus on expands but if the narcissist is trying to hurt you, they must think that you've hurt them. Whether you intended to or not, it doesn't really matter. They're still going to get revenge because they're hurt and they need to regulate their emotions somehow. So they will withhold something from you or sabotage something that you're doing because they want you to feel more pain than they felt when you hurt them. So they will do anything to cause problems and difficulties for you. You may see the narcissist acting strange towards you. They may seem angry. They may be trying to make you envious or jealous of something. They may be trying to hurt you and the reason why they do these things is because they're hurt. They believe that you caused them emotional pain. So now they want to get back at you. They want to make you feel worse than they feel. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonated with you.
