20 Characteristics of People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder

10. They experience narcissistic rage.

People with narcissistic personality disorder are prone to what is known as narcissistic rage. It may come on as an angry outburst with screaming and yelling. On the other hand, it may also manifest as a silent and passive-aggressive form of anger. Narcissistic rage is usually triggered by one of three things. First is when a narcissist feels like their self-esteem or self-worth is injured. They may lash out at whoever they feel hurt their self-esteem. Another trigger is when their confidence is challenged, and a weakness of theirs is exposed. Finally, a narcissist may go into a narcissistic rage if their sense of self is questioned, or if someone challenges their capabilities.
