When you set a boundary with a narcissist, they don’t see it as healthy feedback from a person to acknowledge and respect— they see it as a personal insult or even a threat.
To a narcissist, boundaries feel like rejection, exposure, and loss of control all at once.
- Rejection: They believe they are superior and entitled to access you whenever they want. Your “no” shatters that illusion.
- Exposure: Boundaries send the message that you see them clearly. You’re not playing their game anymore, and that threatens their façade.
- Loss of control: Their identity is built on controlling people’s perceptions and emotions. A boundary tells them: “You don’t control me.” That’s intolerable to them.
This creates what’s called narcissistic injury — an ego wound that feels humiliating, unbearable, and enraging to them. And they won’t let it go. They can’t.

🚔Got to love the Girdwood Alaska Police Department’s latest effort to slow down traffic on the highway through town.
I bet it's really effective at night. 👍

I know @StephenKing wants to write the most before the imminent death we all will face someday - the grim repaaaaa -, and some fans say "get out of X the", but remember kids, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Most people only want to live in peace, and he beautifully resumes the "whiteboy" wishes - a piece of land to work on, family, faith, freedom and fun. 3/3

- I'm not even American ( 🇧🇷 ) and this song and sentiment touched me, and I guess that touch a lot of people around the world. The devil is always trying to divide us. 1/3
"Remember who you are" before all of that wokeness vs. conservative movements, everything being political and a big discussion, everyone had to choose a side and get mad every day on social media. Be proud of who you are. You aren't worse or better than anyone. 2/3
