8 Indications Of Narcissistic Rage

A narcissist is a person who admires himself excessively. They have an alternate persona instead of the real one. This alternate persona often comes across as grandiose. The illusions of grandiosity are completely shattered when a narcissist experiences sheer disappointment. This triggers the inner inadequacy and vulnerability and then a narcissist shows extreme anger. This is called narcissistic rage.

Narcissistic rage can occur anywhere. It can occur when you are at the office, home or in any social interactions. Given below are eight situations when narcissistic rage often happens:

1. When a narcissistic person does not get the results according to his way, even if his way is irrational.

2. When a narcissist is being criticized by a critic, even if the critic is constructive, diplomatic and rational.

3. When a narcissist is not given all the attention that he wants even when there are other important things to deal with.

4. When a narcissist is caught disobeying orders and violating the norms.

5. When a narcissist is asked to take responsibility for his or her faults.

6. When a narcissist’s ego and self-image suffers a blow.

7. When other people remind the narcissist of his manipulations, misuse, and insufficiency.

8. When a narcissist loses control of his physical surroundings.

Narcissists often have to pay a heavy price for their rage and alternate persona. They destroy the relationships which they have with their friends and families. Given below are the destructive consequences which a narcissist has to face.

1. Drifting apart from your family

Families are very important to people and everyone is very close to their families. They are our life-support. Research and psychologists have shown that over the years narcissists have lost all ties with their families because of their rage.

2. Impact on your love life

Narcissism also has a great impact on a person’s marriage and romantic relationships. Research has also proved that narcissism has deep impacts on divorce as well.

3. They lose ties from most of their relationships

Narcissists break many hearts and leave behind umpteen broken relationships. This is because they “use” and not “relate”.

4. Isolation

Most narcissists have very few close and lasting relationships. This is mostly because of their rage and behavior. At the expense of other people, they achieve success. When they are successful and at the top, they find themselves to be all alone.

5. They miss many opportunities

Narcissists have very few lasting relationships. They get fewer opportunities in life. Sometimes when they do, they miss it because of their behavior or rage.

6. Financial and legal problems

Narcissists often break rules and they are not responsible at all. Because of this, they face many legal and financial problems.

7. Their reputation gets hampered

Narcissists are not trustworthy, credible or reliable. They do not behave like professionals at all. This degrades their reputation.

8. The fear of rejection

Being unimportant and not being the center of attention is the main causes of narcissistic rage. They are full of insecurities in life and often fear rejection.
