Hostility

To maintain ther self-differentiating aggression, the narcissist stokes the fires of hostility by obsessively and vengefully nurturing grudges and hurts (some of them imagined). She dwells on injustice and pain inflicted on her by these stereotypically "bad or unworthy" people. She devalues and dehumanises them and plots revenge to achieve closure. In the process, she indulges in grandiose fantasies, aimed to boost her feelings of omnipotence and magical immunity.
