And their motivation for doing this is because they're hurt. It should reveal to you that you have hurt the narcissist. However the narcissist makes you feel is already how they feel.

When the narcissist tries to hurt you, the root of this behaviour stems from their own misery and dissatisfaction with their lives. It has very little to do with you. Which is how their behaviour can often seem so extreme in response to a minor situation. They turn molehills into mountains. They act like it's more than what it is. Because then that gives them an opportunity to get their rocks off, in response to all of the other times they've been hurt. If you have hurt the narcissist, they will go out of their way to hurt you. Because they can't help themselves. They can't regulate their own emotions. They have to elevate themselves at your expense. Which is how you should know that however you feel following an interaction or engagement with the narcissist. That is exactly how they want you to feel. And it is likely to be how they feel. Emotions are very contagious. Especially with narcissists, as they are so overbearing.

They will try to bring you down to their level. They will try to cause some type of disruption. They are very restless.

So they cannot allow you to be at rest. They can't stand the thought of you being happy and enjoying your life. While they're miserable and depressed. It eats away at them. So they have to bring you down. They have to give you a reason to be sad and down just like them. But when they do that, it should reveal to you that they are hurt. You have hurt the narcissist. They are just responding to the pain that you may have caused. Which is something that they will always be responding to.

Because they don't know how to regulate their emotions. They have so many unhealed traumas. And that is what dictates how they behave. Because when they get hurt, it activates these traumas. Which is how their behaviour can often seem so extreme. Because they're responding to everything that went wrong in their lives, before they even met you. Which they are now holding you responsible for. But if you want to know if you have hurt the narcissist. This is the number one sign. If you have hurt the narcissist, they will try to hurt you.
