Talk:Narcissistic rage and narcissistic injury

Citation needed - attention seeking
Narcissists are often pseudo-perfectionists and create situations in which they are the center of attention. - this. Citation needed, if anyone knows a solid citation for this, it would be good. Not because I think this is wrong, I think it is very accurate. It is because of that, I think the claim needs citation to defend itself from been dismissed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:1082:DA00:D55F:A735:E44:CDA3 (talk) 11:17, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Huh?
So what the hell is it? The subject should be explained in the very first paragraph so that anyone who isn't familiar with it can understand the rest of the page. Oddity- (talk) 02:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't get it
Are there people out there who understand this? Right off the bat we're left with two choices: destruction or annihilation. Which one is the good one? What is "mature aggression"? Examples would really help. 24.5.236.123 (talk) 01:32, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Narcissistic rage and bullying
Narcissistic rage (NR) is often the basis for bullying, where explosive NR is overt bullying and passive-aggressive NR is covert bullying. It would be nice if someone wrote about this. --Penbat (talk) 15:08, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Very badly written ============

Attention is needed here.

words like, "giving the target 'silent treatment'" really sound funny.

The ideas are neat and well referenced but some parts need to be re-written

Actually i think this is worded well and is the part that struck a cord with my situation! More of it should be worded like this as these are real situations that happen in everyday life, instead of constantly using textbook language which people who havent studied the condition dont understand and therefore is not very useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.154.93 (talk) 09:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Narcissistic rage and the psychology of criticism
these two need to tie up to each other. --Penbat (talk) 10:22, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Narcissistic versus regular rage?
According to this framework, isn't all rage narcissistic rage? It strikes me that any person who is angry will seek reasons for their anger, and the classification of the reasons found as either 'justifying reasons' or 'false reasons that are really rationalization' simply depends on what the majority view is. Could someone expand/explain? I feel the article should either give descriptions sufficient to distinguish, or, state that all anger on behalf of one's own treatment is narcissistic rage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.5.30.178 (talk) 15:31, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Narcissistic injury
who first used this expression ?--Penbat (talk) 15:51, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Comment
I have done some work on this article, including removing a source (Psychology Today article) that did not support the information. I have also deleted some material sourced only to Sam Vaknin's self-published books. This is due to WP:MEDRS: we need to use only the highest quality sources in these kinds of psychiatry/psychology articles, and Vaknin's works do not (yet?) meet this bar. I have replaced some of the material with information from more standard medical and psychiatry sources. --Slp1 (talk) 21:29, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Murder?
Can the sentence with "mild irritation or annoyance, to serious outbursts, including violent attacks and murder." stop at violent attacks? Murder is absurd and portrays an insane image of someone with NPD. I have a simple personality disorder, not fucking sociopathy.

Retitling "Narcissistic rage and narcissistic injury"
I've re-titled this article as "Narcissistic injury" which is a broader topic than
 * Narcissistic rage (one, of many reactions to narcissistic injury) and (extreme) narcissistic injury (which has a spectrum of injury levels which can occur in people who are not pathologically narcissistic as well as those who are).

All of text from the prior article was transferred over with a little reorganization. The article will need work to represent the full range of injury and the multitude of reactions and defences. Wiki-psyc (talk) 19:06, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
