Narcissistic behaviour can become increasingly toxic and destructive because it is based on a need for admiration and attention. If narcissistic individuals do not receive the admiration and attention they feel they deserve, they may become aggressive or hostile in order to try and get it. This can lead to emotional, verbal, and physical abuse. Narcissistic individuals also often have a very low sense of self-worth, which can lead to a need for constant validation. If this validation is not available, they may resort to aggressive behaviour in order to try and get it.

What motivates narcissistic behaviour to become increasingly toxic and destructive?
Contents
narcissistic behaviour can be motivated by a number of different factors. Some people may become narcissists as a way of compensating for feelings of insecurity or low self-esteem. Others may be narcissists because they find it exhilarating to receive admiration and privilege without having to give anything in return. Some people may become narcissists as a way of gaining control over others. Finally, some people may become narcissists because they are truly unable to empathize or feel love. In any case, the motives behind narcissistic behaviour can be complex and often difficult to understand. However, the result is always the same: a person who is dominated by their own self- interests and who is unwilling or unable to empathize or care for others.
The destructive effects of narcissistic behaviour are well known. People who are dominated by their own self- interests are often unable to form healthy relationships or to achieve success in their careers. They may also be prone to making careless decisions that can lead to financial ruin or even death. In short, narcissistic behaviour can be a recipe for disaster.
Nevertheless, some people seem to be drawn to narcissistic behaviour. They may find it exhilarating to receive admiration and privilege without having to give anything in return. They may also find it thrilling to control others. Finally, some people may be truly unable to empathize or feel love. In any case, the result is always the same: a person who is dominated by their own self- interests and who is unwilling or unable to empathize or care for others.
The tragedy of narcissistic behaviour is that it is often self-defeating. The more narcissists try to control others or get their own way, the more they frustrate and anger those around them. In the end, their own self- interests always come first.
Dr. Sam Vaknin believes that narcissists are a chimera of themselves and their mothers who refused to allow them to individuate. After providing a fantasy world of “unconditional love” to their victims they become the “harsh critic” and demand that the victim be metaphorically “dead” by having no voice and not fighting back. As you can imagine, this is when the abuse intensifies.
”Where does narcissistic rage come from?”
Early childhood trauma such as abuse or neglect and invalidation of the person’s emotions, can cause them to bury their true self and hide internal injuries behind a false or alternate persona built on lies. A highly sensitive temperament that is very reactive to feelings of shame can exacerbate rage responses.
Narcissistic rage is a very intense and destructive form of anger that can be caused by a narcissist’s inflated sense of self-worth. When a narcissist feels wronged or threatened, their fragile ego can quickly become shattered, leading to an attack of narcissistic rage.
Narcissistic rage can be directed at anyone who has disappointed or hurt the narcissist, but it is often most intense and destructive when it is directed at those who are closest to them. This is because a narcissist views themselves as always being right and their loved ones as inferior and unworthy, which makes them incredibly vulnerable to narcissistic rage.
The narcissist’s anger is also often accompanied by a range of other emotions, including hurt, shame, and humiliation. This makes it incredibly difficult for the victim of narcissistic rage to cope with the attack, as they are hit with a combination of intense anger and intense hurt.
Narcissistic rage is a devastating and destructive form of anger, and it is important to remember that it is not simply a result of being wronged. A narcissist’s anger is often intense and destructive, and it is important to stay away from anyone who displays signs of being angry or upset.
