I have tried to communicate with the narcissists, they begin a conversation with rage to intimidate, there can be no rational reasonable discussion with a narcissist.
I am convinced they already know they have been mean without us saying a word. Which is why they try to start a fight to feel justified in their mean behavior that came before you even came into the room. YES, I DO BELIEVE THEY KNEW THEY WERE MEAN! I believe they intended to do things before they even saw you, it is an ever present jealousy and anger that lurks just below the surface ready to explode at any encounter. Even a kind act toward them will be seen as provocation because of the jealousy that dominates them.
Those who are not guilty of anything are shocked when told they may have hurt someone, but not ragingly angry. Raging anger is a sign of guilt.
Proverbs 29:8-10 "…8 Mockers inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger. 9 If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution. 10 Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.…"
We are seeing this in the liberal cities taken over by raging narcissists who believe they are justified in destroying the businesses who have never done anything to them. This is the mentality of a six-year-old bratty child. "Since I do not have what you have I am going to destroy what you have" is their mode of operation.
Anyone who is successful in their life, even if that success is nothing more than great joy because of Christ, this is enough to cause a meltdown in the narcissist. They know they have serious deficiencies in their character and cannot tolerate someone who is growing and changing in Christ.
Since God told us it would be this way we do not have to take it personally. We can even feel a sense of sorrow for the narcissist who is gaining nothing good from being like this.
A person with good character lives a life of joy, blessing and direction for their lives, this is intolerable to one who does not have these traits.
I have even seen very wealthy people who were jealous and angry at those who are not wealthy. They even look down on them because of their lack of wealth, but the real reason is the joy, peace, and resolve for Christ we have that irritates them.
Luke 21:15-17 "…15For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you will be put to death. 17And you will be hated by everyone because of My name."
In my country people are not persecuted for their faith in Christ, they are merely mocked, dismissed and ignored, even by those who say they are Christians but do not obey the Bible.
Our persecution is bullying to a degree but does no harm to us. However, those who do bully, mock and ignore us wish they could kill us, that is how deep the anger and hatred runs in them.
1 John 3:14-16 "…14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer. 16 By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.…"
What are we to do with this information you might ask? Simple keep speaking boldly as the Lord Jesus Christ in you leads and maintain your joy by keeping your focus on Him.
