This video answers the question: What are the characteristics of narcissistic rage? How can we differentiate narcissistic rage from regular rage? Narcissistic rage is an intense anger observed in some with extreme narcissistic characteristics. It has both reactive and instrumental components. It also has a relationship with grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, and demonstrates the significance of the fluctuation we see in narcissists between grandiose and vulnerable states.

Narcissism:

There are two types of narcissism: With grandiose narcissism we see characteristics like being extroverted, socially bold, self-confident, having a superficial charm, being resistant to criticism, and being callous and unemotional. Vulnerable narcissism is characterized by shame, anger, aggression, hypersensitivity, a tendency to be introverted, defensive, avoidant, anxious, depressed, socially awkward, and shy.
