Narcissists hold onto a lot of resentment and hatred toward those who stand up for themselves and use healthy boundaries.
A narcissist feels entitled to say and do what they wish, and entitled and disrespect and hurt anyone they see as a threat.
They hate anyone who recognizes and calls out their toxic and controlling behavior — it is a direct threat to their overinflated ego and sense of entitlement.
Instead of looking inward and asking themselves why they act the way they do, or why someone needs to set a boundary with them, or why they even think what they do, they get mad at you for no longer allowing it.
This can be really tough to work through — really tough. If you need help, reach out to schedule a Clarity Call.
