Impulsive reactions
During a narcissistic collapse, narcissists are still left feeling as if they have lost their confidence and hard-earned facade or pretense. What will be your instant reaction if something threatens to take away something you’ve worked hard for? Isn’t it for protection?Narcissists are also like that; the symptoms of narcissistic collapse are essentially when their narcissistic traits become overly pronounced. Narcissists are known to be impulsive even at the beginning; they prioritize short-term gains and quick decisions to protect their self-image and still appear confident and appealing to others, but the rage they feel when their world crumbles will fuel their impulsiveness as they desperately try to reclaim their fantasy of controlling their emotions and others. As a result, their instincts will instantly kick in, leading them to make clumsy decisions that often cause a plot hole in their made-up stories. Either way, narcissists will still be knocked over when they experience a narcissistic collapse, no matter how hard they try to get it together.
Withdrawal
According to what I’ve said before, introverted narcissists are translucent when they experience a narcissistic collapse. You may ask why it is only them. It’s because overt or grandiose narcissists take the position of a leader or someone above them that they are seldom questioned or looked down upon. How do we notice an introverted narcissist is experiencing a narcissistic collapse? That is when you see them withdrawing from a conversation or ghosting you; this passive-aggressive behavior is a narcissist’s way of gaining back the control they have over you or a situation. They might even expect your attention to make them feel good again, even if you didn’t do anything to offend them or don’t have a reason to pursue them.
