Other Ways to Handle Narcissists

You can't always be throwing funny comebacks to say to a narcissist. Sometimes, you must deal with it by making it known you're not one to be messed with.

1. Establish and enforce boundaries.

Victims of narcissistic abuse were often vulnerable and clueless people who didn't even know these kinds of people existed. If you don't want to be a part of their long list, put yourself on a pedestal and draw clear boundaries for your relationships.

2. Know when they're gaslighting you.

If you feel confused or violated after confronting a narcissistic person, there's a good chance that you're being gaslighted. Narcissistic people manipulate people by using their words against them and blurring their reality. Trust your gut feeling.

3. Avoid confrontation.

If you have confronted a person more than once and are still unwilling to change their behavior, the easiest and smartest way to handle them is to cut them off your life.

4. Stay calm.

As I said, narcissists feed off people's energy. When dealing with one, put on a brave face and try not to show any emotion.

5. Speak up for yourself.

It can be intimidating to speak up for yourself when you're with a manipulator, but it is a must. They can only push you around if you let them, so go ahead and let them know you won't be one of their victims.

6. Get support.

A strong support system can make all the difference when dealing with someone showing narcissistic traits. You can help yourself by surrounding yourself with people you can trust and who have got your back.
