When dealing with a Narcissist who is trying to manipulate you instead of taking accountability, here are key steps to follow:
- No Reaction
Do not react emotionally. Let them throw their tantrums, yell, or cry while you stay calm and centered. Avoid matching their intensity. This includes refraining from arguing, even to defend yourself, as they will gladly start any argument to shift focus away from the truth. - Stay Factual
Stick to the facts. Let the evidence speak for itself without engaging in debates. - Walk Away
Know when to leave. If the conversation becomes abusive, disengage. Long-term exposure to narcissistic behavior can be draining, and walking away prioritizes your mental health.
The only benefit of confronting a Narcissist with the truth is letting them know you see through their manipulation. While this may have consequences, it can also be liberating. Prioritizing your well-being is essential.
