Ahh, "Mr. Obsessed with Harry" mates up with Bertbrain, the brave Marine

A narcissistic injury occurs when someone defeats or criticizes the
narcissistic individual. The narcissist may not show it outwardly, but he is
haunted by criticisms and defeats. Therefore, the narcissist does have
emotions. The narcissist, however, does not relate to his emotions as others
do because he represses his emotions so deeply that they play no conscious
role in his behavior. But, these repressed emotions unconsciously play a
large part in determining his behavior. When a narcissistic injury occurs,
the narcissist begins to feel empty, degraded, and humiliated and he is
capable of retaliating with narcissistic rage. His reactions constitute
disdain or defiant attacks
