Here are 8 things that will make to piss off a narcissist:
STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF There is nothing that a narcissist hates most than a partner who knows how to stand up for themselves and fight back. Every time you put the narcissist in their place and refuse to let them get to you, you are pissing them off. A narcissist hates vocal people, especially people who tell them the truth in their face.
NO LONGER BUYING INTO THEIR BULLSHIT Narcissists hate when your self-awareness, logic, and clarity of mind are high. This is because their favorite tool for manipulation is gaslighting. Therefore, if you refuse to believe their lies and their made-up stories then they feel a lack of control and that pisses them off.
REFUSING TO FEEL GUILTY Since control is the most important thing to a narcissist, they want to obey them and believe them everything they say. So, they will always try to make you the guilty one for their mistakes and wrongdoings. But, when you refuse to take the blame for the things you know you are not guilty of, then the power shifts. The narcissist starts feeling powerless and resents you for that.
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY A narcissist wants to be the center of the life of their partner. They want to have their partner’s undivided attention. They feel entitled to it. Therefore, any time you shift your focus from them and onto something you love and makes you happy, they get angry. They can’t understand how you can have fun and enjoy yourself without them.
DISPLAYING SELF-RELIANCE AND CONFIDENCE The worst fear of the narcissist is when their victim starts deciding for themselves because that means that they’ve lost all the control over them. A narcissist hates your independence and confidence. They know that the more confident and self-assured you are, the less they can control you and keep you submissive.
CONNECTING WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS A narcissist will always try to isolate you from everyone close to you. They will try to do it slowly and gradually by manipulating you. So, if they can’t separate you from your friends and family and you remain very connected to them, the narcissist will get very angry because they want to be your sole focus.
PUTTING THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS The narcissists are always putting the blame onto others. They never own to their mistakes and they probably blamed you for their wrongdoings and shortcomings. That’s because they have an illusion that they are perfect, and in their perfect world they never make mistakes. Therefore, they get pissed off every time you tell them like it is and you put the blame where it belongs.
WALKING OUT AND NEVER LOOKING BACK A narcissist wants you to be codependent on them. That’s why they tried so hard to make you feel worthless and useless and that you should be glad that they’ve chosen you as their partner. So, when you decide to walk away and never look back, that shatters them. It is the ultimate sign that they’ve lost all the control over you.
