Narcissists also gaslight or practice master manipulation, weakening and destabilizing their victims; finally, they utilize positive and negative emotions or moments to trick others. When a narcissist can't control you, they'll likely feel threatened, react with anger, and they might even start threatening you.
What happens when narcissist loses control over you?
They will ignore your feelings and act as if they don't exist. The narcissist will force their will onto you, which sometimes involves stalking. You may not even be trying to escape from your narcissistic partner- you may have chosen to shut them out of a certain area of your life.
If there seems to be a loss of control over something or someone in their life a narcissist will tighten the reigns and take actions to re-establish it. If this isn't possible, they will try to destroy the individual attacking them covertly to prevent the person from being able to defend themselves.
