A toddler's tantrum is a part of growing up. An adult's tantrum is a red flag. 🚩

A toxic person will never change. They just change victims.

How to outsmart them is to not play with them. Period.

[topwreckfleece]

Don't defend, don't engage, don't respond is the best response.

2:34 Don’t go DEEP:
🚫 Don't Defend
🚫 Don't Engage
🚫 Don't Explain
🚫 Don't Personalize

It's easy to remember and simple to practice. I have been practicing this technique for years. 😊

You don't outsmart them. Because there is no point in the first place. Exercise your own self compassion to get the energy to move forward rather that concentrate on a negative relationship.

Being abused is not a way of showing empathy.

You know that bad feeling you get when you're watching a scary movie during the suspenseful scenes where everything is quiet and the music is making you feel uneasy even though everything looks "normal" on screen but you just KNOW you're about to see/hear something AWFUL in a few more seconds?

THAT is how you know beyond a shadow of a doubt you are dealing with acold blooded narcissist. They make you feel LIKE THAT.

I have zero compassion for a narcissist. The only way, in my honest opinion, to outsmart a narcissist is to ignore, ignore, ignore and have no contact with them whatsoever. We have a narcissistic brother-in-law, and I've cut him out of my life completely, no contact in six years. Unfortunately my sister is clearly trauma-bonded to him since he can do no wrong.

[vedikaraj]

Don't engage with them, you engaging with them is their reward .IGNORE them, save ypurself.

[briandrake]

Narcissists will always tell your secrets: AND THEN AMPLIFY THEM!

How many narcissists does it take to change a light bulb 💡? None.
They gas light 🔥

After 31 years married to a narcissist I left 11 years ago. I have 2 adult children one a narcissist. My normal one, my best friend, died a few weeks ago. I am disconnected from the other. I have been disabled with ME/CFS for 27 years which has left me homebound and isolated. Only God can help me get through this. I feel it is too late for me now.

My message to anyone in the proximity of a narcissist…run..don’t wait…don’t hope it will change.

Living alone is great.
No one HAS to be part of a couple.

[melbanunez]

Every time u wanna explain - Do Not! Every time u doubt ur self - Do Not! Every time u want to be understand is their trauma - Do Not! Everything u wonder if anything could be different - Do Not! Every time u hope things would be different with the engagement - Do Not!

[AnnaMartins-dtwe]

A relationship with a narcissist is exactly like a podcast!! Agree 100%!! They never stop talking they love to listen to themselves because… guess what? They’re always right … when you finally agree with them… they change their version of events!! It’s absolutely insane!!
These people are demons!!

This needs to be taught in junior high school.
Narcissists are everywhere from teachers to law enforcement, Dr.s to used car salesman.

[phylvalen]

It doesn't matter what you do, you can give everything, be silent, don't react, give more, set boundaries...it's a life not worth living and will eventually destroy you physically emotionally and spiritually the only way to live a meaningful life is to leave for good.

Like the Paul Simon song, "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, " "Just slip out the back, Jack. Make a new plan, Stan. Just drop off the key, Lee. And get yourself free!"
