Summary
Beware, when you become the narcissist's worst nightmare come true, and you begin to see what they don't want you to see. Narcissists rely on others for narcissistic supply.
By manipulating the emotions, and perceptions of others, a narcissist can maintain dominance and control. Without feeling a sense of superiority over others, a narcissist experiences a sense of vulnerability that causes them to react poorly.
Narcissists fear rejection because they have an inflated sense of self-importance and believe they are entitled to admiration and adoration from others. When someone rejects a narcissist, it challenges their sense of superiority and can cause them to feel inadequate or inferior.
Additionally, rejection can be seen as a threat to their ego, which they will go to great lengths to protect. Narcissists may also fear rejection because it could expose their vulnerabilities and flaws, which they try to keep hidden from others.
In this episode, Lisa A. Romano the Codependency and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Expert dives into what happens when you become the narcissists worst nightmare come true.

| 0:00.0 | Rejecting a narcissist is making a narcissist's worst nightmare come true. |
| 0:09.0 | What might happen when you have finally figured out who and what the narcissist is. |
| 0:16.0 | There are things that you have to mentally and emotionally, financially, physically and cognitively, spiritually, |
| 0:23.1 | vibrational, prepare yourself for. It's no different than why we study our enemies before we go to |
| 0:30.7 | war. We want to know what to expect. If you go into this type of an experience not knowing what to |
| 0:37.0 | expect, it's so much easier |
| 0:38.9 | for you to get knocked off balance. |
| 0:41.1 | I'm speaking from experience. |
| 0:43.0 | I did not know these things when I was going through my divorce. |
| 0:46.3 | I had no idea what to expect next. |
| 0:49.5 | I kept thinking that if I was kind, if I was considerate, if I was fair, then he would be fair |
| 0:57.0 | in return. That is not the case. That is a complete kindergarten fantasy. I was raised to believe |
| 1:04.1 | that you should treat people the way you want to be treated. I still believe that, but I always |
| 1:09.0 | sort of naively presumed that it was a no-brainer that if I treated |
| 1:15.2 | someone with respect and if I treated someone with dignity if I treated someone fairly then that |
| 1:22.8 | person would do the same in return when you were dealing with a healthy person that is the case. When you were dealing with a healthy person, that is the case. |
| 1:30.0 | But when you were dealing with someone who has a personality disorder, someone who cannot |
| 1:35.5 | emotionally regulate themselves, and in fact relies on you as a source of narcissistic supply |
| 1:41.8 | to regulate their emotions, this is not the case. |
| 1:46.9 | When you reject the narcissist, you are basically saying to Dracula, the blood bank is |
| 1:52.8 | closed, Dracula. |
| 1:54.9 | By Dracula, bye bye bye, bye, bye, no more blood for you. |
