- Silence can cause anxiety and panic in narcissists.

Silence is deafening to a narcissist because it triggers their worst fears.
Ever wondered how a narcissist reacts when you decide to go silent? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a seasoned narcissistic abuse recovery professional, breaks down the two primary reactions of narcissists when faced with your silence. Danish starts by explaining why silence can make narcissists panic and become anxious. They thrive on attention and control, so your silence throws them off balance. This unpredictability makes them frantic, leading them to try various tactics like stalking or hacking to regain control.
If you’ve ever noticed a narcissist going to extremes to get your attention, this episode will resonate with you. Danish also discusses the second reaction - narcissists perceiving your silence as weakness or agreeableness. When they don't get a pushback, they assume you're okay with their behaviour, which can lead to further abuse. Danish emphasises the importance of context; sometimes silence is powerful, but in other situations, you need to assertively set boundaries and enforce consequences.
Throughout the episode, Danish offers practical advice on handling these reactions, stressing that while silence can be a powerful tool, it’s not always the best strategy. He shares anecdotes and real-life examples to illustrate his points, making it clear that dealing with narcissists requires a nuanced approach. If you're dealing with a narcissist and wondering how best to protect yourself, this episode provides valuable insights and strategies.
Danish’s expertise and compassionate approach offer hope and guidance for anyone navigating these challenging relationships. Tune in to understand how to use silence effectively and when to stand firm. Ready to reclaim your power?
