Any other person they’ve persuaded of your inferiority will likely follow with more put-downs and disappointment. This narcissistic approach is meant to degrade, dominate, and belittle you while masking the narcissist’s apparent faults. When a narcissist refuses to communicate, for example, it is known as the silent treatment. They punish you with emotional and/or physical detachment to make you behave.
For what purpose? Even if they use this strategy as one of their preferred methods, they employ it to convey disrespect and signal that you are not worthy of their respect. It’s crucial to be reminded of your inferiority so that you don’t lose sight of how the narcissist sees you, as well as to intentionally cause you to feel rejected and abandoned. Emotional manipulators and their spineless accomplices are shown to be harsh; they simply lack empathy.
