Narcissists tend to be incredibly mean, vindictive, and vengeful. Understanding why can help better navigate these difficult relationships with people with high-conflict personalities. Narcissists can be mean because, deep down, they struggle with an intense need for admiration and validation. Their behavior is often driven by fragile self-esteem, and they may lash out to protect their perceived superiority or deflect attention from their insecurities. The need for control and a lack of genuine empathy contribute to their mean-spirited actions, as they prioritize their own desires and disregard the feelings of others.
While it may seem like they are confident and self-assured, their meanness often stems from a fragile sense of self that requires constant validation from others, leading to manipulative and hurtful behaviors. When a narcissist feels challenged, they lash out needing to regain power in the relationship. Tune in and listen to Lisa A. Romano help you better understand why narcissists are so mean.
