Toxic shaming is not only damaging to personal identity but also functions as a type of gaslighting to get suppliers to second-guess their negative evaluations of the narcissist. This is how toxic shaming gets suppliers to question their sense of reality and depend upon the narcissist for truth.
Repeated shamings can develop into generalized feelings of worthlessness and a belief that the narcissist knows who you are better than you do. This invasiveness is what erodes the subjectivity of narcissistic suppliers as they begin to feel that they are not allowed to have their own opinions or beliefs because they be shamed for having them. This type of emotional reasoning is what narcissists exploit to maintain their network of subjugated admirers who blindly accept their authority without questioning it.
