Narcissists Are INSANE

Narcissists are in a state of mind that prevents normal perception, behavior, and social interaction. They are mentally ill. This is why the first thing they do when they realize you're not on the same page is to break you down and try to destroy you. You act like a mirror, reflecting back to them their own insanity, and they don't want to be reminded of that.

So, they try to destroy you to continue existing in the false reality they have created for themselves, where they are fine and everything they do is right. But how did they end up this way? Why did they become insane? Why did they detach from reality and create a world of their own?

The reason is that they lack belief in themselves, in truth, and in reality. The truth makes them look bad, so they gave up on themselves. They lost confidence in their abilities, judgments, and inherent value. Instead, they created a false character to mask the person they are underneath—the person who hates everyone and everything that reminds them of who they actually are.

They are insane because they deny who they actually are. They deny the truth, reality, and anyone grounded in reality. To them, this is an offense, bringing annoyance and resentment because they perceive it as an insult or disregard. They assume everything has something to do with them because, in their minds, they are the center of everything.

They constantly respond to things that affect them without considering their significance or relevance. This makes them delusional, holding false beliefs and judgments about external reality despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary. They have a mental condition that prevents them from distinguishing between what is real and what only seems to be real.

As Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Narcissists repeat the same cycles of abuse, expecting different outcomes each time. They love bomb, devalue, and discard, which may harm you initially but ultimately makes you stronger and more knowledgeable. They don't self-reflect or analyze their past failures and mistakes. They don't learn anything new and keep doing what they've always done because they don't know what else to do. If something isn't working, they should try a different approach, but they don't.

Narcissists devalue you because they have no other option. They have a black-and-white mentality, so it's either you or them. No narcissist will choose their target over their false self. If you're too much for them to handle, they will discard you, even if you're a good source of supply.

One of the best things you can do is to act like you're on the same page. Be friendly and agreeable, entertain their delusions of grandiosity, and give them space to act out their false sense of arrogance and entitlement. But also make sure you have boundaries in place. If you give a narcissist an inch, they will take a mile.

Narcissists will test the waters to see what they can get away with. They will judge your feelings and opinions before taking further action. They create problematic situations that gradually increase in severity until you don't realize what you've gotten yourself into. By that point, you're so dazed and confused that it can be hard to find your way out, which is exactly what they want.

They want to keep you in a state where you're still able to supply them with what they need while not knowing who you are or the work you did to get there. They want to make you crazy just like them, to lose touch with reality while still providing them with value.

Narcissists typically target people who are disciplined and have self-control because they don't have that. They behave in an uncontrolled and disorganized way, unable to control their emotions and desires, especially in difficult situations. They pass that off to you to regulate their emotions and get supply.

They zone in on brief periods of time and blow them out of proportion, making them seem of utmost significance. They want you to validate their crazy-making by setting you up to lose and making you question yourself. This is irrational, immature, illogical, abusive, and manipulative, intended to confuse, irritate, exhaust, and provoke you into an emotional reaction.

Narcissists know exactly what they're doing. They deliberately avoid taking responsibility for their actions to maintain power and control over you. They don't give you the truth or a resolution because they enjoy the power it gives them. They find pleasure in the dopamine release it triggers in their brains, making them feel good about themselves, even if only for a moment.

They seek escapism and distraction from unpleasant reality, often at your expense. They want to feel justified in their actions, continuously controlling the game to prevent you from exposing them. They are detached from reality, creating a false character who is all-powerful and all-knowing, dominating you to make you feel small.
In reality, they are like the man behind the curtain in "The Wizard of Oz," manipulating things behind the scenes. Their power comes from your belief in their false reality.
