Narcissists cannot tolerate those who experience genuine joy and live life authentically. Seeing someone thrive, especially at their expense, triggers their sadistic tendencies. They feel good when they witness your suffering and will go out of their way to undermine your happiness. Being carefree around a narcissist is nearly impossible, as they will find ways to keep you anxious and unhappy.
Number six: They hate vulnerable people.
Narcissists are repelled by vulnerability and emotions. When someone expresses their feelings, it disgusts them and reminds them of their own weaknesses. They may label your vulnerability as drama or exaggeration, shaming you for being sensitive. This leads to a disconnection from your own emotions, often resulting in what I call “identity paralysis,” where you begin to doubt your feelings and instincts.
Number seven: They hate creative people.
Lastly, narcissists resent creativity because they can only imitate and steal rather than create. Creativity represents a deep connection with the self, allowing for original expression. This unpredictability is a narcissist’s kryptonite; it makes them anxious and panicked. In an attempt to gain control, they may try to manipulate you into sharing your creative ideas so they can claim them as their own.
Sharing is caring!
