Narcissists Will Lose their Minds if You Do These 10 Things

Narcissists need intensity, chaos, drama, and a target—someone to project all of their deeply buried self-loathing, guilt, and shame onto. When you refuse to engage, when you refuse to fight back, when all of their chaos, drama, criticism, verbal attacks, and projections of their deeply buried subconscious self-loathing, shame, and guilt come at you, and all of it is met with complete non-emotion, non-reactivity, and a blank stare, their emotions have nowhere to land. They have nowhere to project all of that garbage onto; therefore, they can’t unburden themselves, which is typically what’s really going on. They need to unburden themselves from the load they carry subconsciously, predominantly onto a chosen target. So when you refuse to get into the ring with them, to roll around in the mud with them, or to engage or fight back, that stuff coming at you has nowhere to land and tends to land somewhere else instead. And all of a sudden, the narcissist realizes that they are powerless over you. And nothing will drive a narcissist crazy; nothing will cause a narcissist to lose their mind faster than realizing they are powerless over you—powerless to manipulate you, powerless to affect you, and powerless to control you.

2. Demonstrating that you don’t care.

Not just with words but with actions, behavior, and every choice you make. When you show a narcissist that their opinion has zero sway over you, that their antics, control dramas, power dynamics, toxic gossip, loyalty conflicts they’re busy creating, and perceptions they’re busy trying to manipulate and control have no effect on you, that kind of blows their mind. Because the truth is, they don’t know what to do with that. When you’re busy living your life, thriving, feeling good, and minding your own business, and the narcissist can see that you’re not interested or bothered in any way, it causes a narcissist to lose their mind.

3. Putting them on the spot in front of others

Either by exposing their lies, exaggerations, shortcomings, or incompetence. Like highlighting where they may have dropped the ball or fallen short or asking them a direct question in front of others that they can’t legitimately answer without risking exposing and embarrassing themselves.

I Highly, Highly Recommend This Book!
