Narcissists use 'baiting' to convince you that you're the problem. What is it?

Even after a narcissist discards you, the chaos isn't always over. Oftentimes, they'll continue taunting their victims with "baiting."

As the name implies, this manipulation strategy involves deliberately provoking or triggering victims in an attempt to elicit an emotional response. Whether the reaction is positive or negative doesn't matter: Narcissists thrive off attention, and experts warn baiting is a "powerful tool" in maintaining control and superiority over the relationship – even after it's ended.
