How narcissist’s use baiting to get an emotional reaction and why they use it By Amy Adam @ Self Growth

"Because the narcissisticindividual has already hooked the people that he or she projects on to – these people generally don’t look after themselves sufficiently enough to flee the scene. They generally stand and argue, fight for sensibility, compassion, integrity and decency, and are significantly distressed and adversely affected by the narcissisticindividual.

Narcissistic individuals are experts at baiting to gain emotional reactions– simply because they are experts at gaining necessary supply. Baiting may include a cryptic text after a period of No Contact –something to get people’s heads ticking and make contact as a result of having to know the answer.
