The Most Sinister Trait of the Fragile Narcissist.
Fragile narcissism is a subtype of narcissism marked by a deep sense of insecurity and vulnerability, often masked by a grandiose exterior.
One of the most sinister traits associated with fragile narcissism is their extreme sensitivity to criticism or perceived threats to their self-esteem. This sensitivity can lead them to react in hostile and defensive ways, even to minor or constructive feedback. They may become enraged or vengeful towards those they perceive as a threat to their inflated self-image and go to great lengths to protect their fragile sense of self.
This trait can be particularly dangerous when the fragile narcissist holds a position of power, such as in the workplace or a personal relationship. Their extreme sensitivity to criticism can lead them to lash out at others, undermine their colleagues or partners, and engage in manipulative and abusive behaviours to maintain their power and control.
It is important to note that not all narcissists are fragile, and not all fragile individuals are narcissistic. However, when these traits are combined, it can create a highly toxic and destructive personality type that can cause significant harm to those around them, leading to various destructive behaviours.
