Be neutral. Go to work, do what your job require, leave at The end of The day and dont give it any thoughts. Do this til you find a New job or The toxic boss leaves. Dont interact more than absolutely neseccary. Never tell them anything personal. I tried to be open and honest, BIG mistake. They love to kick people who are already down. I pity my boss. She sees something in me that she will never be able to have. A kind heart and compassion. I’m proud of who I am, and i find courage and strength in knowing I will never be like her.

I worked for a terrible narcissist chef for 9 years. I will say that trying to get on their good side does not work, it's not sustainable. At some point you will do something accidentally that pisses them off and all the good stuff that you have ever done goes right out the window and the totally turn on you - and then they feel even more of a sense of betrayal because they thought you were a cerain way. They are truly evil. There is no good side with them.

1. Mental suit of armor. Limit headspace.
2. Sticky notes to remind yourself.
3. Limit venting. Don’t let them take over your life. Focus on other stuff. We all know what’s happening every day.
4. Intensify self care / hobbies. Walks etc.
5. See it as a disease. A diseased patient will act this way. Don’t be surprised.

I find that most companies actively look for and promote narcissists. They want narcs to do their dirty work for them.

[violentnewworld]

Best defence is to just not care and mean it. Unfortunately it takes a while to reach this zen like state.

I would tell my boss “that’s a good idea!” Every time she would try to correct me. Worked for almost 2 years

These narcissistic people are everywhere, though. At this rate, I'm about to be jobless then homeless trying to avoid them.

My boss flew off at me in a Narcissistic rage one day. I took him to corporate, where once in front of corporate HR, he was told to apologize to me. He flew off into another rage. Bereated me, belittled, me, he went off. I walked out of the meeting, into another managers office, and told them I quit. They talked me down, I still went home that day, and got transfered. I moved from days to nights and then from one night shift to the other night shift because of this one person.

He is not only still employed, he did not receive any kind of discipline, and was in fact promoted.

100% accurate! I had a narcissistic boss that was a borderline sociopath and he made a change to our programming language and when I pointed out the problems with the change trying to be constructive, he immediately fired me on the spot. Another manager heard what was going on and brought me on to his team. My former boss then made it his mission to write me up and give me bad evaluations for the following two years. He nearly destroyed my career and definitely impacted my pay scale and he eventually left the company when he realized that he wasn't able to fire me anymore. But it was 2 years of hell.

And I would say don't bother going to HR. they're just there to protect the company.

Skip to 5 minutes. Tip 1 "They are not going to change"

Thanks this is great advice!
I started working for a boss with NPD 3 months ago. At the interview he was charming and on the first day he was very nice. However by the second day his tendencies started to show and we had a big argument which carried over to Day 3! I realised then I was dealing with a narcissist.
But I needed the job so I went back on Day 4 and apologised and pandered to his ego, which set things right for a few weeks.
I settled into the roll and started performing really well. However I realised this was unsettling my boss and played on his insecurities.
I was enjoying the role, kicking goals and being noticed by the partners. He was jealous of my success and thought that I was undermining him with the big bosses. He even confronted me on it saying he “wanted things to go back to when he was in charge”. Who says that? I asked him what I had done to make him feel that way and he didn’t have an answer.
Since then I have used the grey rock technique by cutting off his supply, which worked for a while but has now backfired because he is coming at me again looking for me to react. I don’t react, but it does consume me as you say. I feel like I’m going round in circles! A vicious cycle and constant loop.
So I will give your techniques a go thanks! In fact I’m writing this to you in order get it out of my head so I can get some sleep! Thanks again and good night…

Paranoid narcissistic boss....Pray, pray, pray. My boss flipped on me 6 months ago. God has been my constant help. 🙏🏾

[SalvaDORKiann]

Dealt with it, was truly draining. thankfully they left and work has been great!

[EricaMauricio-cf]

God will conquer them even the Narcissistic Boss

[sw.]

I go right to this battle. Challenge accepted. I beat them with their own weapons. Sneaky. Bur I am different anyway. Very self aware. Very fast learner and well educated. I am red flag for narcs. Very direct and straight. Strong boundaries. I had too many bad Ttmes AS young girl dealing with such horrible persons. Never again.
I put me in the fire line. Take the weaks out of this game. I use daily stoicism. For me this is a field to experience and a game .I observe. I am stubborn.
I always have a Plan B to escape. Ready ro quit But IT will BE a hell of a time for the narcisstic person. So IT IS fun for me. IT IS predictable as hell
Do not take this person AS the same being AS you are. The empathy IS very Low with such a person. IT IS immature Like a three year old.

You are a breathe of fresh air. True salt of the earth. Your first piece of advice is ideal as my head is on fire dealing with my boss. She is trying to get rid of me by making false allegations against me and I felt terrible leaving work as I felt like I did something terrible. But then I realise that this is part of her game. She hates me because I tell her the truth about how shes hurting others but apparently that doesnt matter in her eyes unless they come forward. Ill sacrifice getting fired to expose the truth. God bless you.

[tarotwyzdom]

I find that the compliments and gray rock are a good idea if you need a band-aid to hold it together until you find a new job. It is definantly not for the long term.

Narcissit boss hate when you correct their misconception , but the purposely misunderstand you

[Craigdna]

I wanted to say thank you for your in depth analysis and perspectives on narcissism and predispositions of behavior tactics that a narcissist will employ. A person can be in a big city environment, with all of these people everywhere, but still fill alone, especially when dealinig with a narcissist. People think it is just self love and they do not make efforts to understand it in depth, which makes it difficult. People often think that a person is over-reacting/paranoid when describing what a narcissistic has done. They think that no person would go to these leng andths to do these things to another individual, which makes the victim become even more isolated and alone. You do an excellent job explaining this to the general public and cover it in a way that many others do not. Much appreciated. Thanks again.
