7 Things That Terrify Narcissists To Their Core | Conscious Reminder

summary of this video at Youtube.com

1. abandonment

This is seen as rejection of their self, you'll be punished by rage and smear campaigns

2. being made fun of

they have no humor

they may chuckle if you're harmed or fall, but it's a mocking, and not humor

jokes of them or poked fun is dangerous to do

jokes are an alluding to their inner emptiness versus their flimsy strong false image of them self: they'll destroy you to protect that image of themselves they have

3. being disrespected

4. being ingnored

they need the "narcissistic supply"

and, they like positive attention and negative attention (criticism), because it affirms they are. Ignoring does not.

5. exposure of vulnerabilities, true ones

called out. They respond with silent treatment or gaslighting

they use "flying monkeys", like on Wizard of Oz, other persons to attack you.

6. loss of the trappings of youth and success

Note: the author has several good points here. A movie that demonstrates how the narcissist becomes cranky and mean in old age is Citizen Cohn. Excellent movie on narcissistic abuse in old age. 

7. death

the anihalation of the ego, their meaning, all they are. Some may also feel they're going to hell and fear that.
