Number 4: Indirect violence or passive-aggressiveness.
In this way, narcissists use emotional manipulation by doing things like giving you the silent treatment, rolling their eyes, talking about you as if you weren’t there, or just staring at you. They also do this on purpose by ignoring you or putting you down in other ways. The narcissists will say they are just trying to help and find a solution to the problem to make their hurtful insults seem less bad and to give them a pass.
They think that their attacks and insults are just sincere attempts to help. This has nothing to do with what’s going on, you’re just overreacting. Anyone else they’ve persuaded that you’re not good enough will probably get more put-downs and disappointment from them; this is a narcissist’s way of putting you down, controlling you, and making you feel small while hiding their own mistakes.
When a narcissist, for example, doesn’t talk to you this is called the silent treatment; they hurt you emotionally or physically to get you to behave what’s the point? Even if this is one of their favorite ways to act, they do it to show that they don’t respect you and that you’re not worthy of their respect.
It’s important to be reminded of how bad you are so you don’t forget how the narcissist sees you; this is also done on purpose to make you feel rejected and alone. In this case, it’s clear that emotional manipulators and their spineless helpers are mean; they just don’t care about other people.
