Sensitivity: female narcissists are overly sensitive and become easily offended by criticism or disapproval from others. They may respond with extreme anger or burst into tears if challenged in any way. Or they will resort to an extreme ignoring you in an effort to make you feel worthless.
Simply put, anything that jeopardizes their basic needs for superiority can quickly irritate them. If you want to know how to infuriate a narcissist, you can look no further than giving them nothing. But you can also stand up for yourself, set boundaries, and refuse their gaslighting strategies.
The female narcissist typically needs a lot of validation, praise, and reassurance from her friends, family, and lovers, which betrays her underlying insecurities. Without this validation, she may become jealous, upset, moody, brooding, or experience emotional outbursts.
The narcissistic wife will always project their shortcomings and negative characteristics on the spouse. They will often term the spouse as needy, ungrateful, insatiable, and even selfish with unreasonable expectations, yet these are terms that would be used to describe themselves.
She may become jealous if you talk to other people, or even if you give someone a compliment. This is because, in her mind, she believes that she deserves all of your attention and admiration.
What Does a Narcissist Do at the End of a Relationship? At the end of a relationship, narcissists may become combative, passive-aggressive, hostile, and even more controlling. People with NPD often fail to understand other people's needs and values.
Narcissists can be grandiose when it comes to self-serving, unnecessary spending (i.e., buying a designer watch they can't afford), but skimp on the essentials (i.e., food, health expenses, basic household items).
Narcissists are more likely to wear expensive, flashy clothing, have an organized, neat appearance requiring a lot of preparation, and (in females) wear makeup and show cleavage.
Sexual narcissists prioritize their own sexual satisfaction and needs, lack empathy for their sexual partners, expect frequent praise on their sexual performance, and feel entitled to sex when and where they want it.
Narcissists are frightened, fragile people.
Rejection, humiliation, and even the tiniest of defeats can shake them to their core. This leaves narcissists wholly focused on their image.
The best way to shut down a narcissist is to walk away from them. If all else fails, you can physically remove yourself from the conversation. Even if they keep talking, simply turn around and walk away. If they follow you, close the door.
Not all narcissists are cheaters, but rates of infidelity are higher among them, which may concern people who are in a relationship with a narcissist. Your partner may show less interest in you, signs of inappropriate online behavior, flirt with others in front of you, and become defensive when you question them.
Aging narcissists can become more self-centered.
Invisibility tends to happen to all of us as we get older, and we learn how to either make peace with it or come up with our own coping mechanisms. Narcissists do neither and focus on themselves — the one person they love and sometimes hate the most.
Key Takeaways. Being manipulative, lack of empathy, and excessive preoccupation with one's own needs are a few traits of a narcissistic wife. Narcissistic wives will restrict you from meeting your family and friends and isolate you from the outside world.
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.
