Narcissism is everywhere, isn’t it?
You see it in relationships, families, workplaces, religious spaces, and even in places you thought were completely safe.
Unfortunately, I have to say it—it’s officially a narcissism epidemic.
On what basis am I saying this? Well, the world is becoming increasingly self-absorbed.
You know how the climate is these days: more people are manipulating, deceiving, and tearing others down just to elevate themselves.
This trend is likely to continue. It’s not going to stop anytime soon because the same has been predicted by all major religions.
So, the question arises: What does God want you to do in the face of all this?
How can you protect your soul and stay strong when dealing with the demonic spirit of narcissism?
Well, for starters, you can guard your spirit, stay true to your values, and trust in His justice.
Let’s understand all of this in more depth. The topic for today is: Four Things God Wants You to Do in This Narcissism Epidemic to Protect Yourself.
1. Guard Your Heart
Your heart is the core of who you are. God knows how valuable your heart is, and He instructs you to protect it.
If you open the Bible and refer to Proverbs 4:23, it says:
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
What does that mean? It means your heart is the wellspring of your life, love, faith, and joy. God wants you to protect it fiercely from the enemy.
And who is the enemy? The narcissist.
This doesn’t mean shutting down or hardening yourself. It means being wise about who you allow into that sacred space.
As time passes, narcissists are becoming stealthier, more deceptive, and harder to recognize. You need to evolve and learn how to safeguard your soul from their corruption.
You cannot keep giving because they are takers. If you keep sacrificing yourself, there won’t be anything left to sacrifice.
Protecting your heart means setting boundaries. It means recognizing when someone is taking more than they are giving and stepping back.
God does not want you to lose the beautiful soul He created in you just to keep someone else happy.
He does not want you to give all of yourself to someone who only knows how to take. That’s not love; it’s exploitation.
Loving others is a core Christian teaching, but it does not mean letting people walk all over you.
Jesus Himself said in Matthew 7:6:
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.”
What does that mean for you? It means you need to recognize when someone is abusing your kindness, love, energy, or spirit.
These are sacred. If someone refuses to value them, it’s not your job to keep giving. Walk away. Guard your heart, and trust that God will handle it.
2. Be Quick to Walk Away

Don’t let anyone take advantage of your patience.
You’ve probably heard this a thousand times: “Be patient, be patient.”
Yes, patience is a virtue, but it does not mean tolerating abuse or staying in harm’s way.
God calls us to practice patience with wisdom, not blind endurance.
The Quran beautifully captures this balance. In Surah Al-Furqan, verse 63, it says:
“And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth humbly, and when the ignorant address them harshly, they say words of peace.”
This does not mean letting the narcissist win or have the final word. It means refusing to engage in their chaos.
By staying calm and centered, you take away their power to control your emotions.
Walking away from someone who consistently harms you is not weakness. It’s not anti-God—it’s wisdom.
If the narcissist refuses to change, you do not have to endure their behavior endlessly. God does not want you to sacrifice your well-being for someone who thrives on taking advantage of you.
3. Detach from Their Chaos
A narcissist’s favorite weapon is chaos. They thrive on pulling you into their drama, making you doubt yourself, and keeping you off balance.
You don’t have to play their game anymore.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna advises Arjuna to act with detachment, focusing on righteous action rather than being consumed by others’ behavior. Chapter 2, verse 47 states:
“You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction.”
This means doing what is right without tying yourself to their reaction. Detachment doesn’t mean you stop caring—it means you stop letting the chaos control your life.
When you detach, you reclaim your power and remind yourself that your worth is not tied to their approval.
4. Trust That Divine Justice Will Prevail

Narcissists may seem to get away with everything, but that’s only temporary.
Every lie, act of manipulation, and harm they cause is recorded. Nothing is hidden from God. Justice may not come in the way or time you expect, but it will come.
In Christianity, Romans 12:19 says:
“Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
Islam teaches the same. The Quran reminds us:
“Indeed, Allah is the best of planners.”
The law of karma in Hinduism is also clear: every action has a reaction, whether in this life or the next.
So, trust that God sees everything and will handle it in His perfect timing.
