8 Boundaries Most People Can’t Handle — Are They Secret Narcissists?
7) They make jokes at your expense
A good joke makes everyone laugh. A narcissist’s joke? It usually comes at someone else’s expense—often yours.
They’ll tease you about your insecurities, mock things you care about, or make sarcastic comments that don’t feel quite right.
And if you call them out on it? “Relax, it’s just a joke.” or “You’re too sensitive.”
Suddenly, the problem isn’t what they said—it’s that you dared to take offense.
But real humor doesn’t require someone to be the punchline. If someone constantly “jokes” in a way that puts you down, it’s not about being funny—it’s about control and superiority disguised as humor.
