This article finally explained what was going on with my former friend. He was extremely narcissist (and an alcoholic), then got rejected by a woman and started lashing out at all his friends because his image of being a self-proclaimed "dominant alpha male" was shattered. I told him to get therapy then he shifted his attacks towards me instead of her.
I no longer associate with people who have drinking as a core hobby, it just exacerbates whatever emotional issues they may already have.
- texasbigdata 4y agoI wonder if you can predict when narcissists will lash outward versus lash inwards through self destructive behaviors. Would be helpful to know beforehand even if the predictive accuracy wasn’t very high.
- hinkley 4y agoDon’t try to control a narcissist.
- pram 4y agoYes I have a former friend who is pretty far down the alcoholism spiral with seemingly “narcissistic” tendencies. He’s extraordinarily aggressive and abusive when he’s drunk, and lashes out at everyone. The thing is, now he claims he can’t even remember that happening when he’s sober. I don’t know if this is the truth or he’s lying lol Either way it’s tragic and sad. Probably the most self destructive cycle I’ve ever personally witnessed.
