Clearly, if you are at this point, you have recognized that someone is no good for you. They are either narcissists, emotionally abusive, controlling, manipulative, or just toxic. But it is clear that something needs to change. It is clear that you either need to get away from this person or set some boundaries. So, what you can do to start distancing yourself is create an emotional distance where nothing this person says or does affects your state of being. And you can do so by accepting that this person (from whom you want to distance yourself) is toxic and does not have your best interests at heart.They do not care about you or your happiness. You are two separate people with separate agendas going down different paths.
What you want for your life is not what they want for you. Therefore, there needs to be a mental or emotional separation first. because this person is not the loving partner you hoped they would be. Or they are not the friend, team player, or caring parent you thought they were. Once you accept that, then it will be easier for you to do the following things, which will aid in the process of when you eventually separate from the narcissist or start ignoring or grey-rocking the narcissist.
So, the first thing you need to do to start distancing yourself from the narcissist is to not share any personal information. Now that you have accepted that this person is not good for you, they definitely should not know your business. You don’t talk to them about anything that matters to you. You don’t disclose your plans, and you don’t tell them about your struggles. You don’t tell them when good or bad things happen. You start shutting them out of your life by withholding pertinent information about yourself. Keep things very general or very vague.
