Anger can serve as both a toxic and beneficial force in relationships, depending on whether it is defensive and narcissistic or a constructive response to mistreatment.
Narcissistic anger is characterized by an immediate outward reaction without self-reflection, suggesting that individuals struggling with it often deflect their internal issues onto others.
Healthy anger can be a reaction to unfair treatment in a relationship, serving as a protective mechanism as long as it's recognized and managed effectively.
Individuals with narcissistic tendencies often struggle to self-reflect; their knee-jerk responses reveal deeper ego issues that prevent them from engaging in constructive emotional processing.
