Inside the Narcissist’s Mind
Today, I am going to take you inside that very moment, the psychological, emotional, and spiritual collapse of a narcissist. Not from the outside, but from inside their mind. You will see how their inner world crumbles, how their defenses turn against them, and why their fall feels like the end of existence itself.
The Fragile Self and Defense Mechanisms
At the core of every narcissist is a fragile and fragmented self. This self was buried long ago beneath layers of performance, perfectionism, and control. Their entire identity is a construction, a house of mirrors built to keep reality out and illusion in. But when collapse begins, the system that kept this illusion alive starts turning on itself.
The narcissist’s defense mechanisms, such as denial, projection, blame-shifting, and gaslighting, were never just tools to manipulate others. They were survival tools, ways to protect the narcissist from their shame, inadequacy, and a deep sense of unworthiness. But once the collapse hits, these mechanisms lose their power.
The lies stop working, for example. The blame does not stick. People stop responding the way they used to. The narcissist is met with what? With blank stares or, worse, indifference. And -that is when the first crack appears.
