Mornings with a narcissist are a full-on circus show—a perfect demonstration of what it’s like to live with a demon. Why? Because these individuals thrive on chaos. If you live with a narcissist and expect to wake up to a calm and comfortable morning, think again. That peaceful start to your day only exists in your dreams because the narcissistic monster will never let it happen. Why? Let’s find out in today’s episode.
Habit #1: They are obnoxiously loud—intentionally so.
When a narcissist wakes up, they make sure you know it. They yawn loudly, slam doors, and brush their teeth so noisily that it feels like they’ve put it on loudspeaker. They spit on mirrors, leave hair everywhere, and talk or laugh excessively loudly. This obnoxious behavior stems from the lack of attention they experienced all night. Their actions feel like an earthquake, shaking you awake from deep sleep. They may yell, curse, or complain, often shaming or blaming you for no apparent reason.
Unrealistic demands quickly follow:
- “Why isn’t breakfast ready yet?”
- “Why are you still sleeping?”
- “Don’t you have work to do?”
- “What about the kids? They need to get ready for school!”
They see you as their servant, and their chaotic demands set the tone for the day.
