We live in a world where people are waking up – and that can look like different things – depending on who you are and what you’re waking up to.
Narcissists are some of the most dangerous woke people on the planet – and it’s about time somebody talked about it.
That somebody is me. And today, I am doing this for all the people out there currently suffering under any kind of woke narcissist.
The Dawn of The Woke
Hearing that somebody is woke can mean that they’re far more politically and/or socially aware than others.
It’s a phrase used to almost insult people these days, and as opinions seem to get more divisive in society, it’s thrown around frequently.
If somebody is strong-minded, as well as carrying narcissistic traits, then that’s a pretty opinionated person, don’t you think?
Don’t Mistake This
I’m all for equality. I sometimes can’t believe that we live in 2024, and so much corruption is still out there.
I like to stand up for what I believe in; for what’s right.
Woke is a word that’s become attached to people who use their opinions to get incredibly strong messages across, that can sometimes be unhelpful.
Now imagine that kind of person also being a narcissist.
What a combination!
Joking aside, it really is a combination you’re not going to want to be around.
Narcissism and Wokery: The Perfect Marriage
Being woke tends to mean you like to get to the root of problems. You want to talk about them, and actively seek to address issues that nobody else is raising awareness of.
Woke people always lean toward wanting to be right, and thinking their opinions are facts.
Other parts of society can question this behavior, but it only makes the issue bigger in general.
It’s not uncommon for woke people to also label people, and use those labels as a fixed opinion of them.
Now – marry that with the character of a narcissist.
I know, right? You want to run and hide, too.
The Danger Coming to Life
It’s a complete double red flag situation you’ll have going on.
I’m not narrow-minded enough to think that all people with an opinion are woke, but this is a different level completely.
The danger comes when you’re faced with somebody with such negative force that they intend on making everything about them, what they believe in, and what should ‘be.’
Wokery and narcissism truly collides to bring out the worst in a person already toxic, and I don’t want any of you to sweep how dangerous that is under the carpet.
#1 Extreme Views Just Got More Extreme
The reason narcissists have extreme views is because they love to divide people, causing fallout, fights and complete chaos.
They love to voice their opinions in the hope the people around them will find a way to submerge in the debates and arguments that follow.
You want to add in the factor now that to awaken to certain aspects of life, narcissist’s opinions will be even more extreme, and cause even more division. It’s
#2 Offended? They Will Be!
Narcissists love to be offended. When they feel that way, they sink deep into victim mode, and that’s where you’ll find them loving life the most.
We all find things offensive, don’t get me wrong here. This is another level though, and one that I’m sure you won’t want to witness.
We are living in a time where being offended seems to be the way of the world. We don’t like what somebody says, so we feel offended.
We base other people’s feelings or thoughts on how we must act – and that’s just wrong.
We’re all allowed different opinions, yet narcissists out of everybody know that their opinions are the only ones worth having.
If you find a woke narcissist among your circle, you will find somebody who finds any excuse to be offended, and to use that offense as a way to look like the good guy…
…The ‘poor me, you’re so mean’ guy.
And what does that do?
That makes everybody else look like the problem, and make them look like the solution.
#3 Divisive? You Bet!
Speaking a little on division already has shown you that narcissists love to create conflict where there is none – just for the sake of it.
If that sounds like somebody you know, it’s probably because they’ve got a special connection between being a narcissist, and being a little more woke than your average person.
Polarizing issues make for polarizing comments – so if you know somebody who fits this description, you’ll probably want to steer clear of them.
Their minds will work in more dangerous ways than you can think of!
#4 “I Will Not Rest!”
“….Until my opinion is written down, stamped and sealed as fact!”
That’s how most woke narcissists love to act, and that’s what you’ll find yourself facing a lot if you meet one.
It’s such a dangerous game to play, isn’t it? To put your opinion out there so much that you will not back down until people agree with you, or see things your way.
I could never imagine compromising somebody else’s views just so I could see my own come to light.
This is a whole different level of stubbornness that excels all healthy levels of stubbornness! And it’s a really dangerous game to witness.
#5 “Oh Look, That Fire Needs Fuel”
Yes, there are situations that need no fuel thrown on the fire, and woke narcissists, if they were honest with themselves, could write a long list of examples.
Do you think it’s a good thing to make matters worse, wherever you could?
I don’t see life as a way to keep churning out scenarios that are meant to be more problematic, but narcissists dance to a different beat altogether.
They love to dive in when the water is warm, and boil it with their induced drama.
It’s dangerous to enter those kinds of waters. You can quickly become swept up in unnecessary dramas that you may have otherwise sidestepped.
#6 Fear, Fear, Fear
Woke narcissists love to instill fear wherever they go. It’s funny how your average narcissist loves the same, but when woke, that fear enlarges a lot.
Fear of saying the wrong thing to them.
Fear of being misunderstood.
Fear of offending.
Fear of upsetting.
Fear of stealing their thunder.
Fear of succeeding more than the woke narcissist.
Fear of mispronunciation.
Fear of getting it wrong.
Fear of getting it right.
My goodness; what a crazy collaboration of worries to have – and it’s all because the woke narcissist wants you to feel all of those emotions.
