How a narcissist tricks you through rage baiting #narcissist

[bobbiemartin]

A narcissist thrives on the energy you expend while you rage…and they do have it down to a fine science of how to push buttons…

[louhortonsculpture]

It’s their favorite thing. It’s their hobby. The more calm and chill you are, the more fun it is for them to finally make you mad. They push and push until they get a reaction.

It's actually very satisfying to look back and know it didn't work on you, it just opened your eyes

Rage baiting makes them the victim. We must not react

[Victoriaforchrist]

Everything I’m learning about narcissists has opened my eyes … I can’t believe I’ve been a victim for decades and always told i was the problem from parents to spouses to fiancés … people who were supposed to love me brought me down … it’s only now that I found out I am not the problem .. I am amazed .. these people are evil

This is exactly what he used to do with me. He used to instigate me, give me silent treatment & when I used to confront & question him, he used to record my calls & take screenshot of the messages sent by me to him. Later forwarded it to his friends & the women he used to cheat on me with. I dealt with a covert narcissist for 10 years & trust me, the mind games & manipulation he used to make me feel guilty. It's been 2 years I have been out of the relationship & but still traumatised. But I'm trying to focus, on rebuilding my life again & practice self love & boundaries. Anyone, going through it right now, be strong & put efforts on healing. It's much better to be alone but in peace, then to be with an narcissistic partner. They will take your shine to brighten their darkness. They will kill your soul everyday. Please be strong & seek help. Thank you Sir, for educating people about narcissism. Wish I found this channel earlier.

Doing this angers my ex to his core, and I know and can tell when he wants to fight or argue and I don’t engage. It stops him in his tracks. This also allows me to grey rock well. Doing this protects me emotionally, which is exactly what I’m sharing with my child when people show you they are emotionally unsafe. I don’t say the exact words, but I model it and show her and tell why based on previous behavior in such and such ways. Being an example is the most powerful way you can teach your child.

I can only hope one day i will be free from this hell 😢😢

God sees all. They should be worried about that.

[mariellarobles]

I pray on those days and take deep breathes and distance myself from them.

[kathleenherron]

When you only offer kindness rather than rage, they twist it in their favor. Regardless, it’s all reflective language. They are telling you what you should be telling them: You’re jealous of me. You can’t stand that I’m more successful than you. You are so fake that you can’t even be honest with me. My answer: Thank you for sharing what you really think of yourself.

Mine tried this during the custody interview with the court, and I eventually broke. They had to call an officer over "just in case" my reaction went beyond screaming.

I spent hours and hours sobbing because I thought I lost my children.

Fortunately for us, the court saw through the BS and gave me FULL CUSTODY!!! 🎉

Very very very true, 2 years ago he did that to me and I blow up he right away took out his phone and started to record the moment and that made me rage even more he was trying to calm me down after he made me go crazy him trying to calm me down made me even more mad . But honestly after watching your videos and advices I now know how to deal with narcissistic people. So I don’t know how many times I will thank you but for the rest of my life I will be thankful to this amazing person God bless you and thank 🙏🙏

I wish I would've seen this at the beginning of my divorce. The first almost year of it was rage baiting. It was INFURIATING! It's like he knew I was in constant fight or flight mode so he would constantly do little things in sequence to trigger me. After the 5-6th thing I would explode at him. Then he would stay eerily call and say, wow, look how crazy and angry you are. You really should get some help." Or "There is really something evil inside of you." Or "see? This is what I was talking about. You are so angry all the time." It was truly crazy making. And it was all planned. Every time. Ugh!!!! 😤

[rubberbiscuit]

Some do rage baiting openly, and others do it covertly, but they all do it. They need to prove that you are the bad person their narrative requires you to be, to justify their abuse and elevate themselves over you. Pathetic.

[Akasanaesp]

I'm peaceful. I meditate. I eat well. I exercise. I practice yoga.

I was rage baited by the demon after days of insult, provocation and being stuck on the same home as him.

I flipped. I shouted in anger. I wanted to hit and hurt the narcissist.

God, I'm sorry for being angry.
Thank you God for removing this demon from my life and continuing to protect me from his hoovers.

[laurelvance]

This happened tonight. I am angry at myself for taking the bait. 🤬🤬

[Aurora-Rose]

Ask them ‘why would you say that, when you know it’s hurtful’? Respond to them with a lot of ‘hmm, interesting’ and do not give them ANY energy during an argument

[Sophie-urqb]

Thank you 🙏 i needed to hear this. Trying to remain calm with whatever they throw my way. Giving them nothing at all, is really the best you can do.
