Of course, they may thank you for help and praise your contribution but there is always something disgusting in their words. In fact, they think that you haven’t done them any favor. In their opinion, you have given them what they deserved.
Their thanks is a mask that covers their resentment since in their sick mind, any dependence and need make them weak, and weakness is unacceptable to a narcissist.
You see, the core of gratitude is the sense of being connected to something greater. It is the awareness of purpose in life, people, and even pain. Gratitude humbles the ego and reminds one that everything is not created by us. At the same time, narcissist thinks that he is God. Everything that is good is supposed to revolve around him, and any misfortune has to happen to other people. From the spiritual point of view, such attitude creates a vacuum because they are disconnected from the life force and the process of giving and receiving.
It seems to me like a tree that is not willing to accept water because it wants to prove that it can live without it. The tree can stand tall for some time, but sooner or later it will dry out inside. That is what happens to narcissists. The result of the spiritual drought and the lack of gratitude can be noticed in several years – their soul becomes brittle and spiritually malnourished.
If you observe them later, you will see what I am talking about. You will see their bitterness etched in faces, tenseness in their posture, dissatisfaction in their voice. Their life may be full of money, but their energy will be poor. They are spiritually bankrupt, despite all their belongings.
