What Narcissists Do When They KNOW They’re Guilty || Gabor Maté

What happens when a narcissist knows they are guilty? Do they feel remorse, take responsibility, and try to repair the damage they caused? Or does something entirely different happen behind the scenes? In this eye-opening video, we explore the hidden psychology of narcissistic guilt and uncover why many narcissists react with denial, blame-shifting, gaslighting, victimhood, rage, and smear campaigns when confronted with the truth. You will learn why being caught does not always lead to accountability, why some narcissists seem incapable of admitting wrongdoing, and how shame often drives the defensive behaviors that leave victims confused and emotionally exhausted. Drawing from psychological insights, attachment theory, and trauma-informed perspectives, this video breaks down the complex difference between guilt and shame and explains why a narcissist's reaction to being exposed can reveal far more than their words ever will.
