A narcissist will pretend to be the victim.

[shirleystein]

I my experience, a narcissist can NEVER accept that they are in the wrong.

[taze]

You can't argue with someone who only screams.

[calgreg]

THEY NEVER CHANGE. it hit me like a brick when I realized this, , after 60 years..

[NatalieGrishin]

1. Accept that they are unlikely to change (AS IS; narcissist is unlikely to change, because s/he doesn't think it`s her/his problem)
2. Do not take anything personally (they will criticize or compliment you, when it is in their interest: it has nothing to do with you)
3. Protect yourself (boundaries do not change their behavior, but they will protect you)
4. Believe behavior, not words 
5.Validate your own needs; do not look to the narcissist to validate your feelings.

Narcissist only care about what they need

[DonnaJohnston-jl]

After FINALLY distancing myself from my narcissistic sister (after FORTY NINE years of her torment) I get a call begging to come see me so we can sit down and I can tell her “what she’s done”. I simply told her, “you don’t have ears to hear”. Had to repeat that a few times before she stopped asking. Thankfully, contact was completely broken off within a year of that and my life has been SO MUCH better without her in it. Sadly, that really is the best way to deal with a narcissist - go no contact.

My mother always said, ”Actions speak louder than words.”

[MauriceRivers]

When dealing with evil people, distance yourself ASAP and cut off all contact. Silence is killer to their ego, because then they have no access to you, which is what they crave in order to feed their insecurity.

[gloria]

As soon as you meet them, your life will never be the same.

[zodiacmindwarp]

We’re always told to put up boundaries but the narc doesn’t care and if you stand your ground they can be dangerous.

[viggycat]

On point! I WAS married to a narcissist and when I left him, my migraines stopped.

[judithgrace]

Just leave and no contact. Never argue

[lrx]

Speaking for myself, living with a narcissist. Their constant lying, projecting, rewriting the ltruth” of what happened. Causing you to be confused, unsure of what really did happen etc etc etc, CAUSES dementia in the normal person. This is a big deal. It’s a hazard of living with these people.

[sophiachampsi]

If you argue with them, it becomes a full blown tirade, degrading insults, humilliation, shouting, etc....If you choose not to speak or answer them, its the same result because you are ignoring them by not answering..

[baltvdb]

This video should be compulsory viewing for all teenagers before they start dating. Great❤

[Wavicle]

"Believe behavior, not words" - I gave up twenty of my best years believing the words of a narcissist who swore that she would change her behavior. They are *VERY* convincing with their words. Seriously: believe behavior, not words. Someone whose behavior is constantly out of sync with their words is not forgetful; they are a liar.

[carolynjaynes]

Thank you. I cut off all the toxic people in my family. I feel peace, safety, joy and freedom away from them all.

[ShoJ]

Forget all that, Just leave them, you have a responsibility to yourself to be happy. I don't care if they're your spouse/ parent of your children, a Parent, sibling, or friend.
LEAVE THEM !

[AidanVeritasTheAmazingDeist]

After nearly dying from narcissistic abuse, here is my 6 step formula:

Step 1) Get the hell away.

Step 2) Get the hell away.

Step 3) Take the fullest accountability: Notice you’re likely truly spotless.

Step 4) Don’t feel guilty FOR ANYTHING.

Step 5) Get the hell away.

Step 6) Repeat steps 1 through 5, as needed.
