Headphones are your best friend.
Don't speak. Don't listen.
Ignore. Ignore.

Believe this. Never share anything with a narcissist. It will be twisted and used against you. 💕😁

How tragic that we have to live like this and second guess everything we say or do. No contact is the only healthy way to navigate these sick individuals. I have just received a message wishing me a safe journey/nice holiday. My last holiday was with the narcissist and he destroyed it. They are vermin.

Recently I broke all these rules and it revenged on me. Never show a narcissist that you are happy.

#6 - PRAY, Plan secretly, get prepared, leave suddenly without warning and RUN LIKE HELL!! (Don't EVER look back!)

silence is your best friend and their worst enemy

“Just let them talk and tell them nothing about yourself.” That right there is the problem, empaths talk too much. Confident people rest within themselves and are comfortable with silence. They only speak when they have something to say, not because they feel like they have to say anything.

#6 When God removes them from your life - let Him! Do not run after the narcissist. There will always be a way out. Wait for the opportunity provided.

Narcissist always keep you in delay, anger and frustration. Don't play thier game. They always use your words against you. Thank you

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you.

Married to one for 16 years with children. It's so uncanny, I finally figured out exactly these five tactics all on my own naturally. I'm only learning of covert narcissism and these defense tactics AFTER figuring out how to deal with it. I'm in awe and dumbstruck that this thing actually has a name and is well-studied.

So basically, we can't live an open or happy life. We have to hide or suppress what brings us joy otherwise they will ruin it for us.

I used to share my business plans with my mother hoping she'll be supportive or at least be happy about it... Bt she left no stone unturned sabotaging my plan, creating hurdles, demotivating me in the process.. She even went out of her way to create misunderstandings between me and my partner so that he would not want to work with me.

Zipping my mouth since, helped a lot.

Really great advice. I wish I'd known this decades ago because my life has been forever changed by Narcissistic family members. Not too late to deal with future Narcissists though

Wish I'd known this way earlier. Now I realise how much of my life was navigated by one of my parents. From little things to big decisions, whenever I talked about my plans, they poked holes in them and made me doubt myself. Only recently have I stopped telling them about any plans I make or decisions I take.

I love that you said “if you can’t leave” cuz not everyone can but are made to feel like it’s so simple

[redrealruby]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH ''THEY WANT TO RUIN THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY''

My covert narc neighbour even started attending the yoga class I had been going to go 6 months. She recruited a flying monkey to attack me and left me with no alternative but to stop going to the class. She is totally obsessed with trying to destroy my life. Unless you experience their tactics first hand you just wouldn't believe how vindictive they are. Pure evil.
