Being with a narcissist means having to deal with their tantrums when they do not get what they want. You see, the narcissist will take things out on you and blame you for their own mistakes because to them you only serve them. In their mind you have no outside purpose. They truly think of you as property and believe your feelings and emotions do not matter.

Has someone ever yelled at you for something you had absolutely no control whatsoever over? That is exactly something a narcissist would do. That being said, not all narcissists react in this manner. There are different kinds of narcissists and that means each one may react differently.
A research team back in 2015 actually took the time to examine how two different kinds of narcissists handle stress and their approaches to coping with things of the sort. To do this these researchers gave surveys to each participant in their study. In doing this they were able to assess the levels of these people’s self-esteem, narcissism, stress levels, coping methods, and so forth.
However, it is important to note they did not expose these participants to stress or actually follow them throughout any period of time. What the researchers found was that those who scored highest for grandiose narcissism were also the ones with lower stress levels. On the other hand, the vulnerable narcissist seemed to experience high levels of stress. That meaning the vulnerable one was more likely to lash out than the grandiose.

Rather than lashing out, some narcissists choose to act above and merely make those around them feel small. This is equally as frustrating as lashing out but can be less messy. Some narcissists can still be just fine even when they do not get their way but of course, that’s just on the outside. If you are in a relationship with a narcissist please get out, you deserve better.
Just because the grandiose narcissist is better at keeping his or her composure does not mean they care about you or that they are good people. You do not have to allow someone to neglect you. Your needs do matter and you should be out chasing your dreams. Don’t ever let anyone hold you back.
