WHAT SHOCKS A NARCISSIST TO THEIR CORE?.

Narcissists are known for their lack of empathy and their grandiose sense of self, which can make it difficult to "shock" them in any meaningful way. However, there are a few things that may challenge a narcissist's worldview or cause them to feel vulnerable:
● Being ignored or rejected:
Narcissists crave attention, admiration, and validation from others, so being ignored or rejected can be deeply unsettling for them.
● Being called out on their behaviour: Narcissists may not be willing to admit their faults or accept criticism, so being called out on their manipulative or abusive behaviour can be shocking and threatening to them.
● Losing control: Narcissists often seek to control their environment and those around them, so losing control, such as in a situation where they are caught off guard or are unable to manipulate others, can be a shock to their system.
● Facing consequences: Narcissists may believe that they are above the law or immune to consequences, so facing legal or social consequences for their actions can be a reality check for them.
It's important to note that attempting to "shock" a narcissist is not necessarily a productive or healthy approach.
The best way to protect yourself from a narcissistic individual is to establish firm boundaries and limits on your interactions with them.
