It’s hard to believe, but for a malignant narcissist, the ultimate “win” is seeing a victim pushed to the point of suicide. It’s not just about control—it’s about total domination over someone else’s reality. They get a perverse thrill from knowing they’ve broken a person so completely that they’ve erased their sense of self.
It’s also about the story they get to tell afterward. If the victim dies by suicide, the narcissist can spin it as proof that the victim was “troubled”, “crazy,” and that they “did everything they could”, cementing themselves as untouchable while erasing the victim’s voice entirely. For them, it’s the ultimate confirmation that they can manipulate, destroy, and rewrite reality to suit their narrative.
It’s horrifying, but this is why protecting mental health and raising awareness about these people isn’t just important—it’s a matter of humanity and survival
The moment you set boundaries, manipulators react.
You become difficult for no longer being accessible. They didn’t lose you, they lost control. And that’s what they can’t stand.
