3. Discontentment.
Because although on one hand, they claim their lives are so-called perfect; they still want more. Narcissists are insatiable creatures, and because they know they are faking it, they can never be at peace or settled. Nothing and no one is ever good enough for them. Something is always lacking. Something is always needed as an extra layer to complement their fake identity.
So, those are the three signs to look out for when it comes to Narcissistic Insecurity. There’s Projection, there is Humblebragging and Discontentment. But what we also need to remember is that Narcissists are some of the fakest people you will ever meet. Their masks help them to hide their true feelings and intentions. And it is because of their own insecurities, that they look to steal our individuality, confidence, and independence when we get trapped in a relationship with them. Because in the mind of the Narcissist, We have to be made weak for them to feel strong.
But to conclude, even though the Narcissist’s insecurities are not always as plain as day, the way they operate and respond to situations reveals that insecure nature that they try to hide. And when we break down their delusions of grandeur with certain words and statements we make, wounds are uncovered and the insecurities and shame they try to hide arise. And all at once, the narcissist is hurt, angry, and afraid, all at the same time.

The Narcissist has a lot of hidden pain and issues. They are ashamed of their true self and know that behind that façade of confidence is a fearful, insecure person. So, no matter how much they try to lie to themselves that they are this or that. Even they know that their fake image can only do so much. But pretend they will with all their might but to no avail because nothing will ever be good enough for them, their insecurities will always remain and happiness will never be theirs.
As usual, I hope this was clear and beneficial in some way. Please share wherever you can. Many thanks for reading.
