The Anger You Feel Is Called REACTIVE Abuse

In today’s post, I want to continue my discussion on the plague of narcissism that is reaching epidemic proportions in society. In last week’s post, I touched on the fact that NPD is an intractable, insidious, and dangerous disorder that is notoriously difficult to treat.

I also reiterated the fact that narcissists don’t play fair. This means that YOU will not be the exception if you are in a narcissist’s line of fire.

Today, my focus will be on point #2, which is a type of abuse called reactive abuse.

Narcissists are adept at tormenting and torturing their targets relentlessly UNTIL their victim’s threshold for abuse is reached.

When this happens, the victim lashes out in retaliation; kind of like a dog who has been backed into a corner after being repeatedly taunted and mistreated.

Once this threshold has been reached, and the victim retaliates in sheer despondency and despair, the narcissist will then point his finger in blame and accusation, CALMLY declaring that the victim is the ONE who needs an intervention.

The example above is the perfect illustration of what reactive abuse looks like.

This twisted stance conveniently places the blame on the abused, rather than the abuser, and is a premeditated ploy to make the target look like the crazy one, allowing the narcissist to maintain his sick charade.

In reality, the poor beleaguered victim is reacting viscerally in self-defense to the abuse that has been chronically doled out.

Sometimes for decades…

Reactive abuse can be likened to an imprisoned animal who is continually poked with a stick…until they eventually snap.

Round and round we go…

This is how disordered folk roll.
