Number 1: They will think you’re doing it on purpose to hurt them.
Narcissists still accuse you of being cold, unfeeling, and cruel. You’ll wonder if something is wrong with them. They see life as a competition and need to feel superior to win it. But the truth is that you may be silent because you’re trying to figure out what on Earth they are talking about. However, they will think you’re hurtful and cold. They’ll interpret your silence as a sign that they’ve been rejected or ignored.
Narcissists are often very insecure and need constant reassurance and validation from others. They have a hard time understanding that other people don’t think the same way they do and may not be able to give them the attention or validation they crave. They are also very self-centered, so it can be difficult for them to see things from your point of view.
Number 2: They get angry and lash out at you for “ignoring” them.
One of the things narcissists hate the most is getting ignored. They always consider your being silent as one of the signs of it. They do not like the feeling of not being heard because that disproves their belief that their lives matter more than others.
Their constant desire for validation makes them desperate to get it by hook and crook, and you won’t like it when they are desperate for it. Narcissists tend to get worked up when seeking validation. As a result, they could inquire and lash out at you for ignoring them.
It doesn’t matter to them why you are silent in the first place. What they want to figure out is why you’re ignoring them. Never mind all the hurtful things they’ve said to you. Your silence is more important to them, and this shows how disrespectful narcissists are toward your emotions.
