Don’t feed the ego monster.

Narcissists thrive on attention and validation, so don’t give them the satisfaction of engaging with their drama and theatrics.

Set those boundaries.

Let them know what behavior is acceptable and what is not, and stick to it like glue.

Don’t take their behavior personally.

They are often projecting their own insecurities onto others, so try not to let their words or actions get under your skin.

Keep a level head.

They are masters of manipulation and gaslighting, so stay calm and rational in your interactions with them.

Don’t try to change them.

They have their own deeply ingrained personality traits that are unlikely to change, no matter how much you try to reason with them or appeal to their better nature.

Don’t let them get in your head.

They can be incredibly skilled at making you doubt yourself and your own perceptions, so maintain a strong sense of self and trust your instincts.

Hope I’ve shed light on this matter.
