The strong desire for admiration in narcissists makes them particularly vulnerable to interpersonal conflicts, leading to greater anger and aggression when feeling rejected.
In our study, we found narcissists expressed significantly more negativity towards their partners after experiencing a relationship threat, perceiving their partners in a more unfavorable light.
Contrary to expectations, while narcissists are initially charming, their long-term relationships suffer due to their heightened sensitivity to perceived affronts and their consequential anger.
The experiment revealed that narcissists demonstrated a marked tendency to amplify their anger when reflecting on moments of hurt from their romantic partners.
