Narcissistic rage manifests as a severe, uncontrollable outburst that often has more to do with the narcissist's internal conflicts than any provocation from the target. Unlike those who can acknowledge their anger and seek to make amends, narcissists typically lack empathy and use rage as a tool for control. This behavior can be traumatizing for the recipient, leading to feelings of helplessness and emotional dysregulation. Understanding and protecting oneself from this type of aggression is essential, as the rage stems from the narcissist's insecurities and fears of inadequacy.
Experiencing someone raging at you can be terrifying, especially if you are a child. But adults also feel extremely uncomfortable and disrespected when a person's rage is directed at them.
Narcissistic rage is intense, exploitive, and presents as an extreme out-of-control reaction. For the narcissist, this anger may be a response to criticism, slights, challenges to their superiority.
