Number 5: They say something hurtful or insensitive to get a reaction from you.
Narcissists are attention seekers, and they don’t mind if they have to hurt you just to make you notice them. If you remain quiet, the narcissist will become frustrated and try again to get a reaction from you. That is why it’s important not to engage with them when they are hurtful or insensitive. If you react, the narcissist will still feel like they have won, reinforcing their behavior. They enjoy the attention, and getting a reaction from you makes them feel good about themselves.
Number 6: They ignore your silence completely, pretending it doesn’t exist.
Narcissists often do this when they have conflicts. They ignore the issue of why you are silent and pretend it doesn’t exist while hoping that will make it go away, which is a classic passive-aggressive move. When they do this, it isn’t because they are trying to help you; they try to avoid responsibility for the problem. They want you to feel guilty so that they can blame you for not communicating and make themselves look like good people who couldn’t possibly have done anything wrong.
