I think their punishment is to know on a deep level that there is something wrong with them, and I think that that can ameliorate their emptiness by chasing new sources of fuel.
Picture this: you've been through the wringer with a narcissist, and all you want is to get even. But what if the person who hurt you is already emotionally dead inside? In this episode of 'N.A.R.C. Troopers', host Prajinta Pesqueda tackles the tough topic of revenge and why it often feels pointless when dealing with narcissistic abusers. Narcissists are so disconnected from genuine emotions that any attempt at revenge is like shouting into the void.

She shares practical strategies for processing your anger in healthy ways, such as seeking support from mental health professionals and finding constructive outlets for your emotions. This episode also dives into the complexities of trauma and addiction, shedding light on why the desire for revenge can be so strong yet so counterproductive.
Prajinta emphasizes the importance of shifting your focus from the narcissist to yourself, encouraging you to reclaim your power and start building a life free from their toxic influence. Whether you're grappling with feelings of rage or struggling to move on, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice to help you on your recovery journey.
