Number 9: They will get depressed or self-destruct.
When you are silent, narcissists’ brains work overdrive because they don’t have any distractions from the reality they are running away from, which is the fact that no one loves them. As a result, narcissists will ask what is wrong with them, why they can’t make anyone happy, or if something is going on in their lives that makes them so unlovable.
They will get forced to self-reflect, which they hate the most. Narcissists will eventually get depressed after thinking about these too much without fixing the root of the problem. They will get wild and hurt others.

Number 10: They try to make light of the situation by joking.
It is never pleasing to get your feelings treated as a joke, and narcissists do this daily, or at least on the days when you are too upset to respond to them. That’s why you stay silent, but narcissists always have to prioritize themselves first, even if you’re upset.
They’ll always attend to their uncomfortableness with the situation. That is why they will throw a joke or two, not because they want to make you laugh, but because they want to ease themselves up from the tension they get from your silence. Narcissists might think you have invalidated their feelings, but you are genuinely the one getting taken for granted.
And they usually react to silence impulsively, much more when they aren’t used to it. It is only up to you if you let yourself get under their care, which is careless and unappealing. You deserve to have your silence now and then. If you can’t get that from a narcissist, you should leave.
