5 Signs You Have Touched Narcissist's Sensitive Nerve -

They are incredibly fragile— their ego is easy to break. One tap, and it shatters into millions of pieces because they are inherently insecure. Anything can be taken as shame or criticism by them. When you touch a nerve, they don’t process it easily.

If the situation is in their favor and nobody is watching, they unleash their rage and become the monster they truly are, lashing out to “give it back” to you. However, if the environment is not conducive, they resort to more indirect yet harmful tactics to try and destroy you.

And that is exactly what we are going to discuss in this episode.

These signs are not always easy to recognize unless you are attuned to their body language and understand what’s going on beneath the surface. That’s why I encourage you to stay until the very end if you want to expose them once and for all.

Sign 1: The Mask of Fake Calmness

The first sign is that they put on a mask of fake calmness to show you they are invincible—unaffected by anything you say. They’ll pretend you can’t trigger them because you’re not “powerful enough.”

But if you pay close attention, you might notice subtle signs:

A clenched jaw,
Eyes turning red, or
A tense body, as though ready to fight.

They somehow contain their rage because they know that if they let it out in that moment, everyone will see their true self. What does this tell us? It reveals that they can control their anger when they want to. They just choose not to.

When no one’s watching and you’re vulnerable, they unleash their rage. They say the most horrible things, attack you relentlessly, and bring you down without remorse. Narcissists don’t have a conscience—they only care when the consequences are severe or life-altering.

This sign helps you recognize when you’ve triggered them, even if they appear calm on the outside.
