Antagonism

Psychopathology (a branch of psychology that also includes narcissism/psychopathy) is characterised by the presence antagonistic cores. These disorders are characterized by more than 70% of the variance, with the narcissist often being at the center. An antagonistic core is characterised by immorality and combativeness. These aspects are fundamental to psychopathology and are relevant to understanding the suffering experienced by people with externalizing disorders.

An antagonistic narcissists are rarely guilty of their actions. They may enjoy devaluing others and playing the role of the hero in other people's lives. This aggressive behavior can lead to the devaluation of their victims and placing them in an unpleasant situation.

However, worrying about your appearance is a reasonable thing if it is an important part one's self-worth. This value can vary greatly between individuals. Self-esteem is built on many domains, and appearance does not make up the only one.

Another key characteristic of vulnerable narcissism is the ability to avoid social situations. Antagonism keeps vulnerable narcissists away from others. The vulnerable narcissist feels entitled to special treatment and fears being rejected. People avoid them and resort to social withdrawal as a way to protect their fragile self.

Hostility

Individual narcissists' reactive behavior is reflective of their inflated ego. Collective narcissists' reaction is a projection the hostile intent of the in-group. Our research supports the previous findings that collective neurosism is a key determinant of ingroup hostility.

Apart from being a major determinant of narcissism and hostility, it is also associated with many personality characteristics such as neuroticism or emotional regulation ability. Similarly, the relationship between low EI and high neuroticism is negatively related to hostility. Both traits may contribute to the hostility of narcissists, but these results are not conclusive.

These results support the theory collective narcissism, as well as hostility toward refugees. Study 2 shows that even though hostile attribution bias has been introduced as a mediator, the relationship remains positive. The results from Study 1 support this hypothesis. Models that assume alternative directionality do not explain the relationship between hostility, outcome, and hostility. These results support the hypothesis that collective narcissism can be a significant predictor for in-group hostility.

Narcissists who are angry can cause cognitive impairment. They are known for lying and gaslighting. They will lie just to prove their point. It is important to understand that narcissists will not have a debate with anyone. Argumenting with them will only make you look like they have control over your self-esteem. Instead, you will discover that they use the excuse of blaming themselves to vent their anger or escape their depravity.
