Signs of Narcissistic Collapse And What To Do Next

What Happens When A Narcissist Experiences A Fatal Blow To Their Ego?

Narcissistic collapse happens when a person with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) becomes unable to uphold their 
grandiose, confident image due to a perceived fatal blow to their reputation. This leads to a breakdown which manifests as angry 
outbursts, irritable or defensive behavior, and verbal or physical aggression. Internally the person with NPD feels a loss of 
sense of self along with perceived rejection and abandonment. It can result in harm to the person with NPD and those around them.

In the following we'll explore the difference between narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder and look at the signs of 
narcissistic collapse and its common triggers. Then we'll look at the effects of narcissistic collapse on the narcissist and 
others and explore coping strategies for others dealing with a narcissist in a collapse and recovery strategies for narcissists 
after a collapse.
Understanding Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder

The term narcissism gets thrown around a lot in casual conversation, usually to denote a selfish, self-serving person who doesn't 
care about others. However, according to Alexandra Cromer, a Licensed Professional Counselor with Thriveworks in Richmond, VA, 
unlike someone you may refer to as a narcissist but has no diagnosable condition, someone with narcissistic personality disorder 
has an unchangeable character trait that's been observed, confirmed, and diagnosed.

People with NPD don't have "a lot of insight into how [their] thoughts, behaviors, [and] actions impact other people" Cromer 
says, "and it tends to be an enduring character trait, that while symptoms can be managed, that's something that's always going 
to be present." In addition, underneath their grandiose personalities people with NPD have very low self-esteem, and people with 
the diagnosed condition are most likely to suffer from narcissistic collapse.
Signs and Symptoms of Narcissistic Collapse

The signs of narcissistic collapse can vary depending on the individual but they'll commonly include one or more of the 
following:

Angry outbursts
Irritability
Increases in physical or verbal aggression
Increases in perceived rejection
Defensive behaviors
Depression
Vindictive behaviors
Withdrawal from others

The person experiencing narcissistic collapse tends to feel alone and abandoned and may lash out at those closest to them during 
this time. Knowing the signs and symptoms of narcissistic collapse can help the person with NPD and their loved ones know what to 
look for.
Common Triggers of Narcissistic Collapse

Narcissistic collapse isn't an official diagnosis and therefore hasn't been studied a great deal, yet some psychologists argue 
that the collapse signals a crumbling of the self.1 Cromer says, the triggers that cause the collapse could be large or small, it 
just has to be big enough to signal a loss of ego. For example, she points to a person who has NPD and has an identity as a 
super-parent whose child suddenly doesn't listen as someone who could have a narcissistic collapse.

The most common triggers, however, appear to be being let go from a job or the breakup of a relationship. In both cases, these 
events can cause the person with NPD to exhibit behaviors that threaten both themselves and the people closest to them.

In the case of the person laid off from their job, they may be irritable, increase defensive behaviors, and withdraw from others. 
In the case of the person who is going through the breakup of a relationship, they may become vindictive, have angry outbursts, 
and experience depression. Either way both situations can cause narcissistic collapse in the person with NPD.
The Effects of Narcissistic Collapse

Narcissistic collapse has consequences for both the person with NPD and the people that are close to them.
On the Narcissist

The narcissist will feel like their entire sense of self has been pulled out from under them, explains Cromer, because their 
sense of self-worth is based on the interpretation of others. This can cause a spiral that leads them to feel alone and empty and 
can result in depression and even suicide.
On Others

Others who are close to the person with NPD will often realize the narcissist isn't exhibiting their usual predictable behaviors 
and, therefore, start to exhibit hypervigilance or anxiety because of the narcissist. They might also distance themselves from 
the person with NPD in order to shield themselves from the narcissist's behavior.
Coping Strategies for Dealing With a Narcissistic Collapse

For the individuals dealing with a person with NPD's narcissistic collapse, Cromer recommends remembering their own sense of 
self. The narcissist is going to have a deflated, disrupted sense of self and they're going to lash out at you, so you need to 
have a well-developed sense of self in order to withstand their criticisms and recognize that it's not your job to fix them.

Cromer also recommends having a good support system outside of the narcissist. Having that sense of support can help remind you 
that you aren't to blame in the situation. Being able to take time away or time to clear your head are also legitimate ways of 
coping, according to Cromer.

Anything that allows you to meet your own needs regardless of the narcissist are good ways of coping. And of course, professional 
help and support is always an option.
Recovery Strategies for Narcissists after a Collapse

The person with NPD can recover from a narcissistic collapse but it can be difficult. The best course of action for the 
narcissist, according to Cromer, is for them to try to identify their sense of self outside of other people. Getting a narcissist 
to acknowledge that they don't have to be grandiose or impressive to receive love can work but it depends on the narcissist, and 
this strategy may precipitate further irritability and outbursts.

The narcissist must be willing to work on themselves and admit they're part of the problem. If they aren't willing to do this and 
they continue to blame others, they're going to have a lower chance of recovery. For someone with NPD-and not just traits of 
narcissism-be aware that this may not work at all.

Similarly, while narcissists can benefit from professional counseling, they're often resistant to it. They, one, must be willing 
to go to therapy and, two, must be willing to be vulnerable in therapy in order for professional counseling to work. But those 
that find a good therapist who can form a trusting bond with the narcissist can help them feel accepted, even with their flaws.

Navigating narcissistic collapse can be stressful both for the person with NPD and the people who are close to them. However, 
with some good strategies that can help both parties, narcissistic collapse can be managed.
