When I was in college and was falsely diagnosed with two kidney stones, I had to make urgent arrangements to travel. It was really painful. I was alone, and I was deeply scared. Naturally, I reached out to my family, to my father. His response will shock you. He exploded into a fit over the cost of the flight ticket. Not once did he ask if I was okay. Not once did he check if I had someone with me. It was all about money. To him, I should have managed on my own, like I was asking for a luxury rather than urgent medical help. That wasn’t a father’s reaction.
That was a cold, calculating businessman trying to minimize his loss. To narcissists, your suffering is inconvenient. Your pain is an attack on their peace. And if they help you, by any chance, they expect eternal praise. That is emotional abandonment wrapped in ego, and it leaves a mark deeper than the original crisis ever could because the very person you thought would hold your hand when life broke you was already gone.
Behavior 5: sacrificing others for comfort
If someone has to suffer, it will be you. That is how narcissists function. They don’t bend. They do not compromise. They do not share the burden. Their comfort must always come at your cost. My mother, who is a co-narcissist, was used like a servant by my father all her life. One particular memory still haunts me to this day. She had just gone through a colonoscopy, weak, barely able to walk. Then, the very next morning, my father called my aunt and asked her to wake my mother up. Why? To make him breakfast. Can you believe that?
This man wasn’t dying. He wasn’t helpless. He was just hungry, and he couldn’t bear the thought of making his toast and tea. That is the point I want to make here. This isn’t just narcissism. Please understand. This is calculated cruelty. A complete absence of empathy. A heart so hollow that it sees a person, a woman, in this case, recovering from a medical procedure, as nothing more than an inconvenience to his routine.
Now tell me, what kind of creature does that? And that is why I never trust these self-aware narcissists who talk about healing or change. I don’t buy that. You know why? Because their nature is instinctual, just like a house cat that sees a bird, it can’t help but pounce. No matter how well-fed it is, it’s nature. A narcissist may mimic kindness, empathy, or growth, but the minute their ego is bruised, the mask drops, and the monster shows itself: fangs, claws, all of it. There’s always something in it for them.
To conclude, these five behaviors tell you everything you need to know about the demonic nature, the evil nature of narcissists. Because no matter what image a narcissist shows the world, it’s how they act in these moments that reveals who they truly are. It’s not a personality flaw when someone screams at you for waking them up. It is not discipline when a child is humiliated. It is not stress when they steal from the people who trust them. It is not forgetfulness when they disappear during your worst moments, and it is not love when they expect you to suffer for their comfort. This is not normal. It is not human, I’m telling you, and it’s not something you can fix because all of this is truly evil.
