Do Narcissists Get Scared?

Narcissists are frightened, fragile people.

Rejection, humiliation, and even the tiniest of defeats can shake them to their core.

What scares the narcissist the most?

Narcissists are terrified of being alone, and their greatest fear is abandonment. Setting clear boundaries or not reacting to their chaotic manipulation will cause them to become afraid of losing you even though they may never admit it.

What do covert narcissists fear?

Covert narcissism is more strongly linked to introversion than other types of narcissism. This relates to narcissistic insecurity. People with NPD are deeply afraid of having their flaws or failures seen by others. Exposing their innermost feelings of inferiority would shatter the illusion of their superiority.
