4. Narcissists enjoy and feel powerful when they hurt you
Remember, narcissistic supply can be a positive or negative supply. Narcissistic supply in its simplest form is attention from others that makes them feel special. Therefore, if they hurt you, you feel pain or suffering anyway from what they did, which makes them feel special.
So while it might not be getting your positive attention in the form of adoration, they definitely are gaining tons of narcissistic supply off your suffering, off of your hurt. If they hold the power to make you hurt, that’s a very rewarding position for them to be in. This satisfies their ego, this addiction they have to feel superior, this is one of the reasons that narcissists continue to do the horrific things that they do to their victims because it gives them pleasure and tons of narcissistic supply.
5. Narcissists enjoy backstabbing their victims
Specifically, the ones that actually love them and have entrusted them with their deepest darkest secrets. The narcissist delights in getting you to trust them and share your vulnerabilities with them, knowing full well that they will be using these very confessions against you at a later date to hurt humiliate and betray you.
The narcissist has no intention of being loyal to you or honoring your trust in any way shape form or fashion. In fact, the more the narcissist can betray your trust, shock you by stabbing you in the back, the more pleasure and enjoyment they gain.
