What scares a narcissist? What makes them run? According to recent studies, there are a few things that terrify them more than anything else. In this story, we will discuss what those things are and how they can affect your interactions with a narcissist.
What scares a narcissist the most?
1. Public humiliation
The first is public humiliation. Narcissists hate to be laughed at or made fun of, and they will go to great lengths to avoid it.
2. Abandonment or isolation
Another thing that terrifies them is being abandoned or isolated. Narcissists need constant attention and validation from others, and the thought of being left alone is terrifying to them.
3. Fear of loss of control
Finally, narcissists are also afraid of losing control. They like to be in charge and in control of their lives and their relationships, so any indication that they are not in control can be very frightening for them.
It is important to remember that narcissists are often very good at hiding their fears, so you may not always be able to see these things that scare them. However, if you know what to look for, you can use this knowledge to your advantage in your interactions with a narcissist.
How those fears can affect your interactions with them?
If you are aware of the things that scare a narcissist, you can use that knowledge to your advantage in your interactions with them. For example, if you know that they are afraid of public humiliation, you can embarrass them in public or make fun of them in front of others.
If they are afraid of being abandoned or isolated, you can ignore them or give them the cold shoulder. And if they are afraid of losing control, you can try to take control of the situation yourself.
By using these tactics, you can put a narcissist on edge and make them feel uncomfortable. This can be a very effective way to get them to back down or to get them to do what you want.
