podcast Channel make sure to subscribe and follow as well number one complete withdrawal by Nature a narcissist is other focused meaning they have to have someone in their life that keeps them distracted away from their failed true self but when everyone leaves especially in their old age when they are left on their own they have no option other than sitting with their suppressed and rotten trauma that comes up to the surface and when that happens it shatters their narcissistic defenses and keratonically depresses them and that leads to loss of interest in everything which becomes withdrawal leading to further irreversible collapse or self-awareness in a very few cases number two hyper irritability bitterness and uncontrolled are burst the loss of power strength Vitality control and recognition makes a narcissist realize that they have miserably failed in maintaining the never-ending Everlasting control they become irritable more bitter than ever and their rage takes over since the once powerful narcissist is now a weak link a weakling who cannot reverse their story a weakling who has to express this anger towards self for having failed and projected onto the others and this the object that receives this projection can be anyone anyone or anything in their proximity it could be you it could be their dog it could be the neighbor it could be a random stranger they become the worst and the most bitter form of themselves before we move to the point number three I am curious if you witnessed The Narcissist collapsing if you did drop your experiences in the comments below number third euphoric recall of the Glory Days when their present does not serve the narcissist The Narcissist escapes to the past and revives the feelings of power and control by remembering what they did and how they used to command people around how they used to terrorize people they obsessively illuminate on these experiences and talk about them with almost everyone they can to get supply from within in fact they make themselves the source of Supply when they can't find it on the outside to explain this point further I have a experience to share with you a couple of years ago I went to an event where my grandfather who's a collapsed malignant narcissist was also present he was sitting in a room filled with people and when I entered the room I greeted everyone including him but I knew that his ego was fragile so I personally went and greeted him and said hi to him especially to make him feel special and better than the rest after a couple of hours he called me in a gathering of people I mean he just pointed out and just you know called me towards himself and when he did he started berating me quite out loud in a very uncontrollable manner berating me for not greeting him for not saying hi to him to my defense I reminded him that I did so so on that he got even more enraged because I was questioning his memory which clearly was not functioning see since he was very old and he then started glorifying his past days and how powerful he used to be and how you he used to terrorize people and how his voice was a symbol of fear for so many people he did a shamelessly as if he was trying to bring those days back but in a very helpless manner could not do so this example just shows us how much they want to be who they used to be when they once they are collapsed they want to go back and bring those days back to life and live them because when they used to have those experiences their false self was quite intact they were full of Supply they used to just play with people like objects and toys from the story we can learn two things number one narcissist defenses are still intact in some capacity even when the narcissist has collapsed and number second if they have nothing to take Supply from they would take it from within their own experiences from their own past memories from their own old stories that they have created in their head number four compulsive Behavior intensifies to rebury what was Unearthed by the collapse they become more compulsive than ever their addictive behaviors take over and they take part in high risk behaviors like gambling drinking rash driving and using drugs the calculatedness in their behavior is gone and they are more reactive to their environment in general their addiction becomes quite Dynamic and it keeps shifting from one thing to the other from food to pornography to self-sabotage of any kind number five and the last one extreme form of persecutory paranoia someone has persecuted repair and nowhere when they are constantly thinking about how others are plotting against them and how others are trying to attack them and when narcissists get to this point of collapse it becomes ten times more because narcissists are paranoid in general but when they collapse they turn into this wounded animal that becomes more dangerous than ever because they feel super vulnerable at this point their narcissistic defenses are intensified and their delusions and paranoids become more rigid and psychotic they think everybody is into planning and plotting against them everyone is just trying to hurt them in one or the other way they could come up with bizarre paranoias like government is listening to them through their mobile phone they are listening to them through the radio you are plotting against them with other people and you want to just take away what they have you are plotting and planning against them because you are jealous of their happiness the neighbor is going to kill their dog you are going to do this they are going to do that and the list goes on and on and on they do not stop at this point it's like the this person The Narcissist turns into a crazy being that is completely out of control it becomes absurd at this point and they turn into this being who has lost it all I hope you found today's episode insightful drop your experiences in the comments below and
