7 Ways a Narcissist Destroys Their Own Destiny

A narcissist is their own biggest enemy. This is what I always say: it’s their own actions that lead to their demise. They are their own karma. I do not say this out of anger or vindictiveness; I say it because I have seen it happen. I see it happening, and it never occurs by accident. They never reflect; they never look within. They walk through the world acting as if they are perfect and need no improvement. Everyone was created to serve their ego, and they believe they can rule everybody and everything. But life does not work that way, does it? While digging graves for others, they forget that God or the universe is watching. They overlook that, in the shadow of their plotting, their own grave is being dug, which doesn’t even cross their mind. Ultimately, when they fall into it, they fall deep and forever. That’s how they suffer.

1. Burning Bridges: Destroying Relationships

The first thing narcissists do is systematically destroy every meaningful relationship in their lives. They do not just end relationships; they burn them to the ground. They ensure that when they leave, there is no going back. They betray their closest friends, backstab their business partners, and humiliate their romantic partners in ways that guarantee these individuals will never trust them again. What they do not realize is that relationships are the foundation of everything in life. As they say, your network is your net worth. Your connections determine opportunities. But narcissists are so focused on winning every single interaction, on being right, and on dominating every conversation that they leave destruction in their wake. I have seen narcissists with incredible opportunities—great business deals, romantic partnerships, career advancements—and they threw it all away. Why? Because they could not resist the urge to prove their superiority. They would rather be right than successful. How foolish is that? They prefer to win the argument rather than win in life.
