Number 1: They hate being challenged or criticized.
They will become defensive when you try to challenge their beliefs and actions. And they view it as a personal attack when someone questions the way they think about something or what they have done. They hate it when someone points out a flaw or openly finds fault with them.
They despise those who disagree with them on anything. Narcissists do believe that they are superior and that whatever they do is perfectly fine and should not be challenged. Complements are always welcomed but not critiques. No matter how constructive you think the critique is, the Narcissist will still be offended.
Even those Covert Narcissists who in public will try and play it cool and are even grateful for the feedback, in reality, they are not, and you have just made yourself a target for their passive-aggressive attacks.

Number 2: Narcissists’ hate is being rejected.
They have a huge sense of entitlement so whenever someone tells them no, they hate it. No is a very small but powerful word. It communicates so much to the Narcissist, and I think that is why it makes them so angry. You are telling them they do not control you, that you do not owe them anything, and that there are limits to what you would or could do for them.
The Narcissist does not want limits being placed upon them. They want all of you. So, when they ask something of you, they expect a ‘Yes’, nothing else will do. So, not maybe or we’ll have to see what happens because the Narcissist will not be happy with any other response than a yes. So, whenever you reject a Narcissist be prepared for them to retaliate.
