The Narcissist’s Envy and Delusion
One more thing to understand behind this counter-mirroring behavior is their envy. They do not just feel jealous; they feel envious. Why, you may ask? This is the crazy narcissistic delusional thinking. They believe that all the things you have achieved and done through your hard work should be theirs. This triggers their shame, and because they can’t feel the shame, they create a narcissistic justification. They lie to themselves, saying that your achievements are theirs, despite evidence to the contrary. This story justifies their actions and becomes a means to keep coming after you. They are their own enemy, which fuels their endless hatred. It’s not about you; it’s about how much of a failure they feel.
Keep in mind that their behavior is not a reflection of you. It’s their own issues projected onto you. Understanding this can help you navigate your interactions with them and protect your sense of self.
