7 Things That Shock A Narcissist To Their Core

When you display a trait they don’t have themselves.

A narcissist wants you to be as dark as they are. They’ve been through trauma—but they still made choices that reinforced their personality traits, and that’s what shaped the ego structure they live with.

They want to see you experiencing the same devastation. They want to break you and keep you shattered.

But even after all this abuse, if you’re still capable of compassion—if you can offer love and be kind to others—they’re shaken. They’re deeply shocked.

Since they can’t experience it themselves, it makes them question their own capability. It makes them feel smaller than you. It makes them wonder what choices they made throughout their life.

Of course, they wouldn’t choose to be kind after seeing you be kind to others—but that’s beside the point. They’re shocked because you weren’t broken by their abuse.

You chose to be kind, empathetic, and loving toward others—even after going through so much.

So these were the seven things that shock a narcissist to their core..
