1. The Narcissist’s Game.
Let’s first look at the narcissist’s game. Does it end in old age or do they change up their tactics? The aging narcissist’s mind games and emotional games do not end. The narcissist’s game of using people like pawns and tools never ends until they are dead. But what does happen is that their game gets old, their games become predictable and unbearable, and many people around them just get fed up with their toxic behavior and would distance themselves.
But also, many narcissists are actually stuck in the past, thinking they can use the same tactics and tricks and get away with it. Sadly, for them, it’s laughable, even embarrassing to witness when a narcissist refuses to accept that their age doesn’t permit them to behave in a certain manner anymore. But narcissists don’t learn, and they don’t change their game.
Narcissists never think that they can be outsmarted or that anyone can point the finger at them, especially in old age.
2. The Narcissist’s Health.
Let’s now look at the narcissist’s health in old age because this plays a major role in their effectiveness. For example, narcissists in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and onwards, provided that they are in good health can keep their game going for longer because it all comes down to their physical and mental capabilities. The longer they can care for themselves and get around, the longer they will continue to try to fool the masses and cement themselves as pillars in their communities.
When a narcissist’s health hinders them from doing what they want to do and going where they want to go, it makes them all the more miserable, and the mask is not as useful as it was when they were younger. Their decline in health adds to their misery and it makes them even more driven to make someone else’s life miserable.
Many of them will use their decline in health as an excuse for the drama that they incite. They are also bound to use it to play the victim and they expect people to cater to them despite how horrible they may have been.
