5 Signs a Narcissist is Deeply Suffering Inside
You think that a narcissist is winning? No, they’re just hiding it better than most people can. Behind the designer outfits, the forced laughter, and the obsessive chasing of attention, there’s a quiet, silent kind of suffering that eats them alive every day. It’s not the type that brings them to tears; it’s the kind that turns their soul hollow. They cannot rest. They cannot love. They cannot stop comparing themselves to you and others. And no matter how much they achieve, nothing is ever enough.

No, they could be earning $100,000 or even a million a month, and still, if someone they secretly envy gets a $100 bonus, it will destroy their inner peace. It doesn’t matter how big they appear from the outside. Inside, they’re constantly being pierced by the smallest wins of others. They do not see what they have; they only see what someone else just got. And that is what makes their life unbearable and miserable. God could give them tenfold, but the second someone they do not like gets something tiny, it feels like theft. They do not know how to celebrate. They do not know how to rest. They are trapped in a loop of constant comparison. And you know comparison is killing them from within. They’re not chasing dreams; they are running from jealousy all the time. That is why even their own family’s achievements feel like betrayal to them. When their brother gets married, when their cousin gets a new car, when you are praised in a meeting at work, it ruins their week. They become bitter, sour, and unsettled. So no matter how blessed they seem, they live in a constant state of inner poverty. They are starving—starving for what? For peace they cannot access because they are addicted to envy, and that is what destroys them.
