Narcissists constantly lie to hide their insecurities and will do whatever it takes to maintain this facade. They manipulate people and situations to prevent anyone from discovering the truth about their vulnerabilities.
The possibility of exposure terrifies them because it threatens their carefully constructed image.
4. Narcissists Fear Losing Control
When dealing with a narcissist, you might notice that they often display anxiety. This anxiety stems from a fear of losing control over their relationships and environment.
They may accuse others of being negative, unsupportive, or selfish to deflect their own anxieties. The more anxious they feel, the more resentful they become toward others. Narcissists will do whatever is necessary to maintain control and avoid being exposed.
