Five Bizarre Behaviours of Narcissists During Collapse
Episode Overview
Narcissists may reach out to old sources of supply for comfort. They often gaslight themselves to escape reality. Extreme paranoia can lead to isolation and heightened anger. Dissociative amnesia causes them to forget their painful realities temporarily. Accusations and hypervigilance further isolate them from others.
It's truly like a vampire who is low on blood, desperately seeking supply.
Have you ever wondered what happens when a narcissist hits rock bottom? This episode dives into the bizarre behaviours narcissists exhibit during their collapse phase. Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional, takes you through five strange actions that narcissists resort to when their world starts crumbling. From reaching out to old sources of supply to experiencing extreme paranoia, Danish breaks down these behaviours with empathy and expertise.
One of the most striking points is how narcissists run back to people they’ve previously ghosted, seeking solace and validation. It’s like watching a vampire desperately searching for blood. But it doesn’t stop there; they also gaslight themselves, convincing their own minds that their reality isn’t real. Imagine the mental gymnastics involved in that! Danish also explains how narcissists enter a state of extreme paranoia, where everyone and everything seems like a threat. This leads to isolation and heightened anger.
The episode further explores dissociative amnesia, where narcissists forget their painful realities, only to be hit by anxiety and rage when they snap back to consciousness. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions that leaves you wondering how anyone can live like this. The episode wraps up with a discussion on how narcissists accuse others of things they haven’t done, leading to further isolation.
Danish’s insights are both enlightening and eye-opening, making this episode a must-listen for anyone dealing with or recovering from narcissistic abuse. So why should you tune in? Because understanding these behaviours can help you navigate your own recovery journey more effectively. Don’t miss out on this chance to gain some clarity and perhaps even a bit of peace of mind.
