They would prefer to tell everyone else about the perceived offense instead of the very person who offended them. Anything that would allow them to play the victim and make someone else look bad will always be the course of action for them to choose. But aside from that, Narcissists just prefer to hold on to grudges. They prefer to keep issues unresolved and hold on to assumptions.
They prefer to pretend as if they are ok. They prefer to pretend as though they are forgiving, light-hearted individuals when in actuality they are filled with so much negativity and tension. Covert Narcissists are two-faced liars. They are hypocrites and cowards who live in fear of being exposed.
To protect their false image and stay in the good graces of outsiders they prefer not to address or confront the people directly who have offended them. They would prefer to continue smiling in their face while they look for different ways to stab them in the back.
There is no fun in making up and moving on. The Narcissist wants someone to suffer. So, they do not forgive or forget and will always be seeking their revenge. This is why all Narcissistic Relationships are fruitless and filled with confusion, pain, and misery.
