Number 9: They will make you feel bad about yourself.
During a silent treatment, a narcissist will do everything in their power to make sure they feel like the worst person in the world. This includes making fun of your appearance- telling you that you are inferior to them, or even telling you that no one else could ever love you. They might call you names like stupid, ugly, or fat.
This makes them feel powerful, but it’s just a way to control you. Narcissists are great at making you feel bad about yourself and they do this, by using productive identification; they project their insecurities into others so that they can feel better about themselves. They cannot take responsibility for their feelings and emotions, so they’ll protect them from others instead.
Number 10: They will make you feel guilty.
Narcissists will use the silent treatment to control your behavior and make you feel guilty for something that isn’t your fault. If you don’t do what they want right away, they’ll refuse to speak to you until you do. Narcissists are very good at playing the victim when things don’t go their way; they’re also very good at manipulating other people’s emotions.
They’ll make you feel like you’ve done something wrong to get what; they want even if you haven’t. Narcissists make you feel guilty when they’re not talking to you. That’s because they want to control you, and guilt is the perfect way to do that. The silent treatment can be damaging, especially if it continues for an extended period. When a narcissist believes you have done something wrong, they will often use this tactic.
Even though it is commonly used to punish you, it is not about punishing you. Instead, it is about avoiding responsibility for whatever happened or making things right again. It’s important to remember that when someone is giving you the silent treatment, it’s not because there is anything wrong with you. It’s because there is something wrong with them.
