We all know those people who seem to get angry at the drop of a hat, especially narcissists. But did you know there are certain things you can say that almost guarantee to set them off? If you’re curious about what those are, stick around. In this video, we’re breaking down the top five comments that can trigger a narcissist and why these comments make them so mad.
Number 1: “It’s like I have to walk on eggshells around you.”
This is exactly what they want to hear because it boosts their ego and makes them feel like they’re in complete control—even over your emotions. However, they won’t show their giddiness about it outright. Instead, they’ll deflect and make it seem like the problem is you. They might say something like, “Stop projecting your issues onto me. I didn’t make you act like that. Look at me; I’m calm and rational. You’re the one freaking out. That’s why I call you anxious. It’s your anxiety that makes you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around me.” Or maybe they’ll try to justify it by saying, “Well, there’s been a lot going on, and we both know who’s been acting irrationally lately. You’ve been doing a lot, so maybe walking on eggshells isn’t such a bad thing. It might help you avoid mistakes.” Either way, they’re shifting all the blame onto you. It’s just another way to dismiss your feelings while tightening their grip on control.
See how being with a narcissist can really take a toll on you? Their delusional thinking doesn’t just affect them; it affects you too. They’ll manipulate you into thinking you’re the problem, that your feelings don’t make sense, and that everything is somehow your fault. Over time, you start getting pulled into their warped reality, where they never take responsibility for how their actions impact you. In their version of the story, your anxiety or sensitivity toward them is all on you. They’ll insist it has nothing to do with their behavior or the toxic environment they’ve created. It’s a vicious cycle of blame and emotional manipulation, leaving you stuck in a relationship filled with chaos and self-doubt.
