 How the narcissist tortures you. The narcissist will torture you because they believe that you are behaving in an unacceptable way so now they have to punish you and they will capitalize on what they believe to be your mistake. If you reject their proposals or ideas or you refuse to do something for them or if you fail to obey their rules or commands the narcissist will become very petty and temperamental. They leave you walking on eggshells. You become extremely cautious about your words and actions. You become very careful not to offend or upset them because they get angry and offended very easily. It doesn't take much to set them off and when the narcissist wants to punish you they will starve you emotionally. They will give you the silent treatment. They will withhold their attention and affection. They will cut off all forms of contact with you. It's a form of torture. It's a practice of causing great mental suffering and anxiety to you as a punishment when ordered to force you to say or do something and someone probably did it to them at some point in their lives and they didn't like it so they do it to you. It offers them emotional support by revealing to them how much power and control they have over you and when they do it they're hoping that you will become desperate. They're hoping that you will feel like you're lacking attention and affection. They're hoping that you will desire attention and affection from them and they're hoping that you will do whatever it takes to get it but they want you to only desire it from them. They don't want you to get it from anywhere else so they will create the means to isolate you to cause you to remain alone or apart from other people so that you have no one to turn to so that they can become your only source of communication and your only source of love and affection. The narcissist will keep their silent treatment going for as long as they need to because although they may be cold, distant and silent with you they have other people that they can be happy and cheerful with. They will leave you with a lack of adequate psychological nurturance and without anyone who you can trust or confide in while they're entertaining multiple other people at one time and they will also be gaining supply from you because they get often seeing you bitter, resentful angry and upset which is why they will always leave you in a state of emotional starvation. They will always leave you craving love and affection. It's a form of punishment and it gives them narcissistic supply. It makes them powerful and important, attractive and desirable. The narcissist will torture you. They will punish you. They will give you the silent treatment. They will withhold their attention from you. They will withhold their love and affection but if you refuse to be affected by the attempts to torture you it will cause a narcissistic injury. It will make them very angry because it makes them feel irrelevant. It makes them feel unimportant and undesirable. It confuses them. It makes them feel like you are better and stronger than them because you're not affected by it and the narcissist wants to upset you. They want to take away your happiness and contentment. They want to be the cause of your misery which is why it's so important to emotionally detach from the narcissist because when you take away your emotional investment they will no longer be able to torture you. They will no longer be able to control you. They will no longer be able to affect you. The narcissist knows exactly what they're doing when they torture you. It's intentional and deliberate behavior. When they're being negative and unhelpful they're intending to cause harm. They're intending to manipulate and control you. They're intending to subject you to a particular process where they can make you their subordinate and break you down mentally and physically which is why you must escape from their control. You must escape from their spell by regaining control of your thoughts and actions by finding your confidence and emotionally detach yourself from the narcissist taking away your emotional investment and then they will be unable to affect you.
