Why would a narcissist make anonymous phone calls?

Attention seeking

* Narcissists often crave attention, and making anonymous calls can be a way to get it. They may enjoy the feeling of power and control that comes with being able to anonymously harass someone.

Revenge

* Narcissists may also make anonymous calls as a form of revenge. If they feel they have been wronged, or if they simply want to cause pain and confusion, they may make anonymous calls to the person they feel has wronged them.

Entertainment

* For some narcissists, making anonymous calls is simply a form of entertainment. They may see it as a game or a challenge to see how far they can push someone without being caught.

Sadistic pleasure

* Some narcissists may derive sadistic pleasure from making anonymous calls. They may enjoy the feeling of power and control that comes from causing distress and anxiety in others.

Stalking

* Anonymous calls can also be used as a form of stalking. A narcissist may make anonymous calls to someone they are fixated on in order to intimidate, control, or harass them.
