Why Do Narcissists Sulk? The Hidden Control Tactic Behind Silent Treatment

Everyone has bad days. Everyone feels disappointed sometimes.
But when a narcissist sulks, it’s not about emotions — it’s about control.
In this video, we explain why narcissists sulk, what narcissistic sulking really is, and how it’s used as a passive-aggressive manipulation tactic.
You’ll learn:
What narcissistic sulking actually looks like
How sulking becomes silent treatment and emotional punishment
Why narcissists sulk when criticised, ignored, or challenged
How sulking creates guilt, anxiety, and walking on eggshells
Why there is no “right” response to their withdrawal
Why the behaviour never improves
How to stop feeding the sulk and protect your emotional wellbeing
Narcissistic sulking isn’t sadness or emotional processing.
It’s a strategy designed to provoke guilt, regain attention, and force compliance.
If you’ve found yourself asking “What did I do wrong?” or “How do I make this stop?” — this video will help you recognise the pattern and stop internalising blame.
📌 This video is for you if you’re dealing with:
Narcissistic abuse
Silent treatment
Passive-aggressive behaviour
Emotional manipulation
Chronic guilt or emotional exhaustion
Understanding the tactic is how you stop losing your power to it.
