We live in a world where people are woke – and that can look different – depending on who you are and what you’re woken up to.
Narcissists are some of the most dangerous woke people on the planet – and it’s time someone spoke up about it.
That person is me. Today, I’m doing this for all the people who are currently suffering from any form of woke narcissism.
DawnOfTheWoke
Hearing that someone is woke can mean they are more politically and/or socially aware than others.
It’s a phrase that’s almost used to insult people these days, and with society becoming increasingly divided, it’s thrown around a lot.
If someone is strong-minded, in addition to having narcissistic traits, that’s a pretty stubborn person, don’t you think?

Make no mistake about it
I’m all for equality. Sometimes I can’t believe we’re living in 2024, and there’s still so much corruption.
I like to stand up for what I believe in; for what’s right.

The word woke has become associated with people who use their opinions to convey incredibly powerful, and sometimes unhelpful, messages.
Now imagine that type of person is also a narcissist.
What a combination!
Jokingly, it’s really a combination you wouldn’t want to be around.
Narcissism and Wokeness: The Perfect Marriage
Being woke tends to mean that you like to get to the root of problems. You want to talk about them, and you actively seek to address issues that no one else is bringing awareness to.
Woke people tend to always want to be right, and they believe their opinions are facts.
Other parts of society may question this behavior, but that makes the issue bigger overall.
It’s not uncommon for woke people to also label people, and use those labels as a fixed opinion of them.
Now – pair that with the narcissist.
I know, right? You want to run and hide too.
Danger is Coming to Life
This is a total red flag situation that you’re going to face.
I’m not narrow-minded enough to think that all people with an opinion are woke, but this is a whole other level.
The danger comes when you encounter someone who is so negatively powerful that they intend to make everything about them, what they believe, and what they should be.
Ego and narcissism really collide to bring out the worst in an already toxic person, and I don’t want you to ignore how dangerous that is.
1 Extreme Views Get Even More Extreme
The reason narcissists have extreme views is because they love to divide people, causing fallouts, fights, and complete chaos.
They love to express their opinions in the hopes that the people around them will find a way to get sucked into the discussions and arguments that follow.

You want to add the factor now that to wake up to certain aspects of life, the narcissist’s views will be more extreme, and cause more division.
2 Will they be offended? They will be!
Narcissists love to be offended. When they feel this way, they sink into victim mode, and that’s where they love life more than anything else.
We all find things offensive, don’t get me wrong here. This is another level, and I’m sure you won’t want to watch it.
We live in a time where it seems like being offended is the way of the world. We don’t like what someone says, so we get offended.
We base how we act on other people’s feelings or thoughts – and that’s wrong.
We’re all allowed to have different opinions, yet the narcissist in the crowd knows that theirs is the only one worth having.
If you find a woke narcissist in your circle, you’ll find someone who will find any excuse to be offended, and use that offending as a way to make themselves seem like the good guy…
… the guy who says “poor me, you’re such a scumbag.”
And what does that do?
It makes everyone else look like they’re the problem, and they look like they’re the solution.
3 Divisive? Of course!
Talking a little about division has already shown you that narcissists love to create conflict where there is none – just for the sake of conflict.
If this sounds like someone you know, it’s probably because they have a special connection between being a narcissist, and being a little more conscious than the average person.
Polarizing issues lead to polarizing comments – so if you know someone who fits this description, you probably want to stay away from them.
Their minds will work in ways that are more dangerous than you can possibly imagine!
4 “I Won’t Rest!”
“…until my opinion is written down, stamped, and sealed as fact!”
This is how most woke narcissists like to act, and it’s something you’ll find yourself encountering a lot if you meet one.
It’s a very dangerous game, isn’t it? It’s very difficult to express your opinion everywhere, and you won’t back down until others agree with you or see things from your perspective.
I would never imagine giving up on someone else’s opinions so that I could see my own opinions come to light.

This is a whole different level of stubbornness that trumps all healthy stubbornness! And it’s a really dangerous game.
5 “Look, this fire needs fuel”
Yes, there are situations where you don’t need to add fuel to the fire, and woke narcissists, if they’re honest with themselves, could write a long list of examples.
Do you think it’s okay to make things worse, wherever you can?
I don’t see life as a way to keep producing scenarios that are supposed to be more problematic, but narcissists dance to a completely different beat.
They like to dive in when the water is warm, and boil it with the drama they incite.
It’s dangerous to get into such waters. You can quickly get swept up in unnecessary drama that you might otherwise have avoided.
6 Fear, Fear, Fear
Woke narcissists love to instill fear wherever they go. It’s funny how the average narcissist loves the same thing, but when they wake up, that fear is magnified by the times.
Fear of saying the wrong thing to them.
Fear of being misunderstood.
Fear of being offended.
Fear of being upset.
Fear of stealing their shine.
Fear of success more than the awakened narcissist.
Fear of mispronouncing.
Fear of being wrong.
Fear of being right.
Oh my; what a crazy collaboration of fears – and all because the awakened narcissist wants you to feel all of these feelings.
