Number 3: Your threats do not scare me. When a narcissist becomes really insecure, angry, or upset then they may attempt to threaten the person that they feel is causing these negative emotions. This could include threatening to expose sensitive or embarrassing information to others, threatening to withhold things like money or a place to stay, or even threatening physical harm. Staying strong and letting the narcissist know that their threats do not frighten you is one of the last things that they will want to hear. This is because it is a sign that you cannot be manipulated or harmed by them in the way that they want you to be anymore.
Number 2: You can’t do that. Being told no for anything is sure to send a narcissist into a spiral, especially if you tell them that they cannot do something that they want to do. Now, telling a narcissist that they cannot do something will not necessarily stop them from doing it. However, it is an important tool for establishing boundaries. As a result, when dealing with a narcissist, experts say that it is best to pair this statement with consequences. For example, you can tell a narcissist that they cannot show up to your house unannounced, and if they do then you will not answer the door.
Number 1: I am not going to do what you want. Narcissists are very manipulative people by nature, so telling them that you are not going to do what they want you to do is sure to make them feel angry and vulnerable. Although narcissists will hate it when you say this phrase, it is sometimes a crucial one for people to say, especially if the person is being coerced into something that they really do not want to do. In situations like these with a narcissist, it is important to stay strong and not give in to their demands.
