When they are dealing with one of their victims, when they’re dealing with you, they need to know what you’re feeling, what you’re experiencing, and what’s happening in your body. It’s psychosomatic feedback they gather all the time because of their predatory nature, to devise a plan or target an outcome.
But here, when they’re dying and contemplating death, there is no outcome. What can they do about it? The only thing they know is they’ll be either cremated or buried. What happens beyond that, they don’t know. And that is what keeps them awake at night.
That’s also one of the reasons why many of them have hypochondriasis. Now, I’m not saying all people who are hypochondriacs are narcissists. No. I also have hypochondriasis because of my traumatic experiences. That doesn’t mean we are narcissists; I’m just creating a correlation. And remember, correlation does not always mean causation.
The Legacy Obsession
Death to a narcissist also means leaving a legacy behind. They have created their kingdom and shaped it very well. They knew what the dynasty was going to look like. They were the rulers and thought they would sit on that throne forever. But then things start slipping away through their fingers, like sand, when they are diagnosed with terminal illnesses.
It’s like they feel their throne is being snatched away. And my dear survivor, that’s the worst feeling you would not want to go through. Most people—non-narcissistic folks—make peace with their ending one way or another. Some people just go very happily, but when it comes to a narcissist, it’s always extreme; it’s chaotic. Have you had experiences like that? Please share them in the comments below.
