When a narcissist sees you as being too strong, this is what they’ll do. Narcissists desire nothing more than to be in a position of power and control. These individuals have a great need to exert authority and command over the people in their surroundings, including their spouses, co-workers, and friends. This need drives them to behave dominantly and aggressively.
So why do people act in such a manner? Because they feel they are not in control of the situation. Clear about what to do, they will attempt anything that has a chance of being successful. Many people have been in violent, abusive relationships with narcissists that have gone on for a very long time. Both codependency and narcissism are characterized by an obsession with achieving power and authority over others. They will make an effort to control you, whether they believe you will be an easy or tough target.
We will take a look at some of the strategies that narcissists use to get rid of people they view as a threat. These are individuals who are not easily swayed by the opinions of others. They are powerful, self-reliant individuals who have developed in both their thinking and actions.
Let’s begin.
Narcissists have difficulty accepting people for who they truly are, and as a result, they tend to treat others poorly. People who aren’t easily influenced give off an air of confidence, have a healthy sense of self-esteem, and are generally well-grounded. These are the ones who make narcissists feel threatened. The fact that this is the case doesn’t deter them from pursuing these individuals.
There is no whitelist when it comes to dealing with narcissists; those who are vulnerable and even those who are powerful will be the focus of their invasion. The methods by which they interact with people set them apart. The narcissist’s ultimate goal is to destroy everything that stands in their way, and they will stop at nothing to achieve this goal.
Narcissists believe that the only way to improve their own self-esteem is to bring down the self-esteem of those around them. Even though some of us are smart and tenacious, and even though it’s possible that we won’t cave into the love bombing they’re throwing at us, they are still intent on convincing us to comply with their demands.
We need to remember that while narcissists like to employ love bombing to bring others under their control, they also have a range of other tactics at their disposal. This is something we must keep in mind at all times. When people realize that flattery and charm aren’t enough to win someone’s favor, it’s not uncommon for them to play the victim in order to earn sympathy.
