https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-legacy-distorted-love/202010/understanding-narcissistic-injury And in inverse, "Saving Face" is just adding more lies to cover up the narc injury so that it looks less pathetic than it actually is. East Asian culture in a lot of ways have been running on widespread normalization of Cluster B personality traits, and before you jump on calling me racist, I am East Asian too and was originally born and raised there.

Here is an important line from the article. The issues remain in their mind as “it’s all your fault,” or “How could you do this to me?” They want to strike back and seek revenge. A person with a narcistic injury would hold a grudge as well. Losing face as I understand it, is the surrounding people shaming you and being judgemental, nit picks over details that they are just as easily guilty of. More of a mob mentality thing. Public opinion idea. Because so much depends on this idea of face, it forces people to play along. For example, I couldn't care less about face and anyone that knows me knows this. However, if I were to do business in China, it would force me to play the game or most would avoid me. So, I don't think it can be related to narcistic injury when there are the external pressures forcing everyone to have and maintain face. If someone came in with US sense of pride and called people on their bs infront of their friends. It happens here and people get over it even become a joking point people enjoy later and even become close over. In China it isn't like that. It has a lasting impact and causes divide. It is understandable that people are going to try and save face because their peers won't allow mistakes. It isn't an internal force as what narcism is with narsistic injury.
