Number 4: Refuse to acknowledge their emotions and narrative.
What if you refuse to believe their lies and expose their true intentions? What if you reject their sad tale and refuse to be swayed by their tactics? By dismissing their emotions and story, you’re sending a clear message: ‘I see through your lies, and I won’t allow you to manipulate me.’ You’re demonstrating that you won’t tolerate their deceit, and you can identify their fixation. But how can you achieve that?
The next time you come across a narcissist bad-mouthing or defaming someone, support the victim instead. Challenge the narcissist’s side of the story and indicate that you won’t accept their lies. This approach stops them in their tracks, and they won’t know what to do since you no longer play their game.
Number 5: Display disgust and scorn towards them.
What if you switched the script and treated them with the same disrespect and hatred that they show you? What if you made them feel weak and insignificant? Displaying contempt and disdain for narcissists can be an effective method of retaliation. By reciprocating their behavior, you can demonstrate that you will not be a pushover. You will not permit them to criticize or evaluate you. But how can you achieve this?
Begin by refusing to allow them to initiate conversations. Do not permit them to demean or diminish you. Take a stand for yourself and refuse to yield. Inform them that you will not tolerate their narcissistic behavior and that you will not be intimidated.
