What Does a Narcissist Feel When You Fully Expose Them
Think of a wounded beast; you know how dangerous it becomes, right? That’s exactly what happens to a narcissist. They thought their shield was impenetrable, but your facts have pierced that shield and hit them where it hurts. They are feeling the pain, but pain does not mellow them down; it makes them fiercer than ever and dangerous to deal with. Out of that uncontrollable rage, they try to assassinate your character. They will counter-accuse you of things you may have never said or done. They run massive revenge campaigns, raising an army against you and turning it into a bloody war instead of sitting with the information.
Number three: Extreme Fear of Public Exposure.

Some may fawn by pretending to be nice again; love bombing becomes their go-to coping mechanism. Those on the grandiose end of the narcissistic spectrum will twist the information, using whatever you say against you.

They will act superior in the relationship because they do not want to be seen as needy. The truth is, they are more dependent on you than you are on them. They need you like you need oxygen. Instead of instantly replacing you, especially if you are a grade A type of supply, they will accuse you of ruining everything. They will try to trap you in their web of lies, attempting to manipulate you until you are exhausted.
