Narcissists don't have anger management issues…

Narcissists don't have anger management issues, they manage their anger just fine when there are witnesses around.


Many people assume narcissists have anger management issues because of their explosive outbursts, insults, or intimidating behaviour behind closed doors. But the truth is, narcissists don't actually struggle to control their anger. They manage it perfectly well when it serves them to do SO.


If a narcissist genuinely couldn't control their rage, they would lash out indiscriminately - in front of family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, and strangers. But notice how their temper magically disappears when there are witnesses who might hold them accountable or damage their reputation. In public, they can appear composed, charming, and perfectly reasonable.


This selective display of anger isn't accidental. It's a calculated tactic to control and intimidate the people closest to them while maintaining an untarnished image to the outside world.


This is why victims often struggle to prove emotional abuse.

Outsiders see the narcissist's controlled persona and assume the target is exaggerating or provoking them. But the reality is that the narcissist saves their worst behaviour for moments when no one else will see it. 


Remember: if someone only loses control when you're alone, it's not about poor anger management. It's about power and manipulation. Recognising this pattern is the first step toward breaking free.

The narcissist will do everything in their power to destroy your happiness and the healing.

No matter how much you try to make the  relationship work, their main priority is how they look. The narcissist needs to maintain a sense of dominance by controlling how others perceive you. This is often accomplished by initiating smear campaigns about you to back up their story, to ensure their reputation isn't damaged. The narcissist will do everything in their power to destroy your happiness and healing that you are desperately seeking, no matter how much you try to make the relationship work their main priority is protecting how THEY look. Narcissists will always need to surround themselves with people who 'like' them, to continue to give them supply and they are called flying monkeys. Mere pawns in a narcissist's plan to maintain their control and power and to make you look like the crazy, insane person and to keep the narcissist in the supply they have become accustomed to because their mask must not slip! That is a narcissist's worst nightmare, and YO...

Narcissists claim their exes are crazy……

It’s easier than admitting they cheated on them repeatedly, lied to them daily, gaslit them constantly, bankrupted them financially, took away all their friends and family, controlled them coercively, hurt them emotionally, and then abandoned them once they'd drained them completely. Why Narcissists Call Their Exes Crazy??   When a narcissist ends a relationship, they rarely take accountability. Instead, they rewrite history. One of their favourite lines? "My ex is crazy." It's a convenient cover that hides a much darker truth—because it's far easier to blame someone else than to admit what they've done. Behind that label often lies a brutal story. One where the narcissist lied daily, cheated repeatedly, and gaslit their partner into questioning their own reality.  They isolated them from family and friends, took control of their finances, eroded their self-worth, and made them doubt their every move. All while appearing charming to the outside world. A...

As The Ex Spouse of a Narcissist

As the ex spouse of a narcissist, I had someone who talks at me, not with me.  Someone who needs me but does not respect me. A child who demands attention and has tantrums if he does not get it.  A person who does not listen and does not feel what others feel, or understand how others are affected by his behaviors. As the ex spouse of a narcissist, I must walk alone through my struggles, silently feeling my pain while no one sees it, no one sees  him . Nothing is mine or can be about me, he has to be the center of attention. In public, he wears a mask that no one can see through, but at home, the mask comes off and I am subjected to emotional abuse. As the ex spouse of a narcissist, I am the one with the problem—the one who is too sensitive, the one who cannot take a joke. I am the one who needs help, not him. He is not the problem; I am. I am because I see him for who he is and I cannot pretend anymore, and that is a problem. In social situations he would demean me ...
