I haven't heard of that one before. I went and looked it up. I'm not sure if it is limited to narcissists or not (in one part of the wiki it says yes, but later on it says no, lol). I'm not a narcissist but some of that does sound like me for sure. Especially the bit where it says " It is an attempt by the narcissist to turn from a passive sense of victimization to an active role in giving pain to others, while at the same time attempting to rebuild their own (actually false) sense of self-worth. It may also involve self-protection and preservation, with rage serving to restore a sense of safety and power. That definitely nails it. Just replace "narcissist" with "person" lol.
Thanks for this!
