Narcissists possess a provoking demonic spirit that knows how to instigate you, identifying the precise buttons to push to bring out the worst in you. This spirit’s aim is to force you to act out of character. Why? Because when you do, you lose integrity. When you calm down, self-loathing sets in—you wonder, “How could I say such a thing?”—and embarrassment overtakes you. This is when the spirit rejoices: “Mission accomplished.”
The spirit is cunning yet weak. It plays shady games but refuses responsibility. The moment your rage is unleashed, it retreats, and the narcissist seamlessly transforms into the victim. They adopt a “puppy-eyed” demeanor, exclaiming, “I don’t know why you’re acting this way. Look at me, everyone—see how I’m being targeted! I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this.” This clever manipulation garners sympathy and gaslights you, reversing the narrative and turning the tables.
The Demonic Aspect of Narcissism
When I discuss narcissism and demonic spirits, I am not absolving narcissists of responsibility. I am not suggesting they are controlled by an external force and have no choice. What I mean is that there is a demonic influence that amplifies the harm caused by their choices—choices to lie, manipulate, gaslight, and inflict pain. This whispering voice becomes more powerful over a soul that has already abandoned the light.
One specific demonic entity that often dominates a narcissist’s psyche is the provoking spirit. Its mission is to instigate, ensuring a reaction to the narcissist’s abuse. This spirit helps narcissists pretend to be victims and make their abuse appear clean and calculated. It whispers, “You can never be wrong. You can never make a mistake. They’re jealous of you—attack them!” The narcissist then provokes their target and revels in their reaction, finding satisfaction in controlling their emotions.

- The Narcissistic Roommate
During my college years, I had a narcissistic roommate. We shared responsibilities for washing utensils, alternating tasks each day. On his assigned day, he gave me the silent treatment and deliberately left my utensils unwashed, knowing it would anger me. When I confronted him, he ignored me, fueling my frustration further. The situation escalated into a verbal altercation, during which he smirked—his satisfaction at my outburst was palpable. Realizing this, I calmed down to avoid giving him the victory he sought. - The Malignant Narcissist Father
As a child, my father would intentionally provoke me by exploiting my abandonment anxiety. He would casually say things like, “Your mother has left us and isn’t coming back,” knowing it would devastate me. His casual tone and visible pleasure in my tears were haunting. This deliberate instigation to destroy a child emotionally was, in my view, nothing short of demonic. - The Psychopathic Narcissist Grandfather
My grandfather practiced black magic and once shared how he stirred chaos in a family by casting a spell. He narrated, with laughter, how two people began fighting after his actions. His enjoyment of sowing discord was deeply unsettling. To me, this exemplifies the demonic essence of narcissistic behavior—thriving on confusion, division, and destruction.
Conclusion
Narcissists often exhibit behaviors that mirror the workings of dark forces. Their provocative nature and manipulative tactics leave their victims questioning reality.
