Welcome to today's episode of the podcast, where we explore the fascinating and sometimes frightening world of narcissism. In this episode, we'll be discussing what happens when you tick off a narcissist. 

Narcissists are known for their self-centeredness and lack of empathy, but what happens when someone challenges their inflated sense of self?

The answer is not pretty. First, let's talk about what a narcissist is. Narcissism is a personality disorder characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. 

Narcissists believe that they are superior to others and often have a sense of entitlement. They crave attention and will go to great lengths to get it. Now, let's get into what happens when you tick off a narcissist. When you challenge a narcissist's self-image or sense of superiority, they will often react with anger and aggression. 

This is because their ego is fragile, and any perceived threat to their self-image is seen as a personal attack. One common tactic that narcissists use when they feel threatened is gaslighting. Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse where the narcissist will manipulate the victim into questioning their own reality. They will deny their behavior, twist the truth, and make the victim feel like they are crazy. 

This is a way for the narcissist to maintain their sense of superiority and control over the victim. Another way that narcissists react when they are challenged is by becoming defensive. They may lash out at the person who challenged them, accusing them of being jealous or envious. This is a way for the narcissist to deflect attention away from themselves and onto the person who challenged them. 

In extreme cases, narcissists may even become violent. This is because they see any challenge to their self-image as a threat to their very existence. They may become physically aggressive in an attempt to maintain their sense of control and superiority. So, what can you do if you find yourself in a situation where you've ticked off a narcissist? 

The best course of action is to disengage and remove yourself from the situation. Don't engage with the narcissist or try to reason with them. This will only escalate the situation. It's also important to seek support from friends, family, or a professional therapist.

Dealing with a narcissist can be emotionally exhausting and can take a toll on your mental health. Having a support system can help you cope with the situation and protect yourself from further harm.

Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast, where we delve into the fascinating world of narcissism and the complex dynamics that surround it. Today, we're going to be discussing a topic that many of our listeners may have experienced firsthand: why narcissists hoover and idealize you.

If you've ever been in a relationship with a narcissist, you may have experienced a cycle of idealization and devaluation.

This cycle of hoovering and idealizing is a common tactic used by narcissists to maintain their supply of attention and admiration, also known as narcissistic supply. Narcissists thrive on the attention and validation of others, and will go to great lengths to ensure that they continue to receive it. By hoovering and idealizing their past partners, they can ensure that they have a steady supply of attention and admiration, even if they have moved on to other relationships.

Join us as we delve into the world of narcissistic personalities and explore the truth about their need for narcissistic supply. This episode promises to be informative, insightful, and eye-opening for anyone who has encountered a narcissist or wants to learn more about this complex personality disorder.
