7 Words That Destroy A Narcissist

Narcissists, especially those of the more overt nature, will need every moment of your time, or at the very least, they will expect you to drop whatever you’re doing when they want or need your attention at any given moment. Their inflated sense of entitlement and a lack of actual self makes it impossible for them to spend any time alone. They really can’t stand the idea of having to fend for themselves and they might have to face themselves if you leave them alone for too long. So no matter if you’re at work or you’re taking care of your kid or doing anything else at all, they’re going to want your attention in the very second they ask for it. If you don’t dole it out as requested, they’re going to crumble into a big old pile of narcissistic injury.

As always, when that doesn’t work, the rage will soon follow. Why? Well, because they feel like they’re not important to you if you don’t drop everything the moment they want you to. So to avoid drama here, you can try saying something like, “I’ll be right there,” or “We can talk at this time instead.” But even that won’t be good enough for most of them. Many narcissists are even going to go so far as to sabotage your job and push away all of your friends in order to monopolize your time.
