5) confidence, self-assured
4) keep emotionally distanced from them, play offense instead of defense
3) maintain independence
2) set strict boundaries
1) show them that you are not afraid of them, they are more afraid of you

[HelpdeskInParadise]

They never respect you. If you can get them to fear you, you have an advantage. They will leave you alone.

Living with a narcissist will make you so stressed out that you will end up very sick. Don’t do it.

[Robert_Stemmons]

I’ll show the narcissist
Just how I roll
By letting him know
I’M IN CONTROL. 😀🦅

[wayneelliott]

The emotional distance step is very important. Once they know what makes you react, they'll plot scenarios that trigger you then point and say "See? You're crazy/unstable/mentally ill" etc, etc. Of course, they are describing themselves.

[Breauxmann]

Tables have turned. I’m in control now. Day 36 no contact. Never going back, it’s ovah!

[iys]

I'm proud to be an empath- basically the polar opposite of a narcissist! Empaths are emotionally very mature! 🙏😊

[iamgoddessoflove]

Don't lose yourself to someone that doesn't respect you; instead, let go of that relationship to allow doors to open from someone that deserves you.

I use to have a neighbor who was a narcissist. A woman whom I made friends with. She was attractive, and there were characteristics in her personality that I liked. After awhile, 2 to 3 months later, as I was talking with her on the phone, she voice an opinion on a matter and I disagreed, but in a friendly manner, and she screamed her head off at me! She couldn't tolerate my opinion! I made the mistake of staying friends with her when I needed to cut it off right then and there. It slowly went bad over the years until I finally cut it off from her. I once told her, she was the most egocentric and narcissist person I ever met. She freaked out! She went into a tirade and screamed, not to call her anymore. She later called me and I stupidly started to talk to her again. One time I straight out called her a b**ch on the phone out of anger. I later called her and apologized, another mistake. How did she respond? She threatened me! I responded, Are you threatening me? She had no answer. Before I apologized to her, and after I called her a B, she became afraid of me, yet she knew me for years, and I never made any threatening gesture towards her, or caused her any reason for her to be afraid of me. Narcissists deep down inside of them, are really scared, and cowardly people who might, if they can make it work, benefit from professional help. They are some of the most out of touch people in existence.

Thank you for the tools to deal with this horribly manipulative person. Was married to him for 26 years and newly divorced. I'm so happy that he moved to another state. Freedom at last! I still have to deal with him for the moment. So much fun watching his "covert" little tantrums. Now is my time for healing. I got this, today. Work in progress.

Showing them that you are not afraid of losing them is ultimate control. This seems even more powerful than showing less fear of them as a person. At core they are spineless weaklings, desperate addicts using others as a fix. Nonchalance and disinterest is real power over a crumbling emotional meth head.

#3 on independence- have your own bank accounts. Don’t ever let a narcissist hand access or control of your money and assets

[reginaldblakey]

Last but not least one command of respect is to leave the narcissistic relationship, let karma conception flow, don't entertain a clown and be part of the circus, maintain the distance.

[francoluz]

Absolutely 💯. Once I gained my power back he began to glitch. I kept pushing through despite his mental, verbal and guilty attacks. There was so much resistance between us when we had interactions. It's a mindset. I could feel myself in a capsule protecting myself from his attacks trying to drain my energy.

[susanhayes]

I'm in control. I will not let them suck the life out of my family any more.

Mantra: “I’m worth more than this!” “This chaos cycle is exhausting and I’m DONE with moving in this circular path and ready to move FORWARD”

[luisn.gonzalezsr.]

Thank you I was in unaware these personalities existed!!! I maddened one and my whole family is and I broke the cycle so they are SUPER PISSED!!!! 🤬

I’d add that if CONTACT is necessary, take as much time as you need before replying the “text/email/call”, preferably avoid the call and keep everything written, never “react” replying quickly, take a day or two if possible and respond as briefly as possible, if the answer can be given with an emoji (e.g.👍), even better

[daniellelewis]

Super hard to emotionally distance from the narcissist if they are your child. I’m trying.
