In this article, I’m diving into 7 telltale signs you’ve defeated the narcissist and now have the upper hand.
The last thing a destructive narcissist will ever admit to is defeat. Their overinflated egos and false sense of superiority simply will not allow for it. Under any circumstances.
That said, their distorted perception of themselves, you, and reality, along with their ever-so-slanted narrative, may be what it is. But that does not mean you have not succeeded in defeating them.
Tune in for 7 signs that you have indeed defeated the narcissist and now have the upper hand.
Now, that said, their distorted perception of themselves, you, and reality, along with their ever-so-slanted narrative, may be what it is, but that does not mean you have not succeeded in defeating them. Here are seven signs that you have indeed defeated the narcissist and now have the upper hand:
Their Reaction to the Truth
When you speak the truth or call a narcissist out on their appalling attitudes and behavior, lack of boundaries, sense of entitlement, or the way they protect and enable other narcissists in their circle, you will inflict narcissistic injury and trigger narcissistic rage. So, be smart and careful here. No one’s recommending that you set yourself up to be hurt unnecessarily. The point I’m making is this: when dealing with someone who has a destructive narcissistic personality pattern, it takes nothing more than being a truth speaker to set them off and defeat them. Truly, all it takes is speaking the truth, and they are fully defeated. That’s obvious from their reaction. Whether or not they admit to it is a whole other thing. A narcissist is never going to admit defeat, even when it’s clear for all to see that they have been defeated. Assuming you’re safe and operating from a position of strength, all it takes is speaking the truth, and I assure you, you have the upper hand, which, in my view, is clearly evidenced by the way in which they react to the truth speaker.
Their Reaction to Boundaries
If you want to know who and what you’re dealing with, set a boundary, have limits, draw a clear line in the sand, and say no. The narcissist’s reaction to boundaries is like their reaction to the truth—nothing short of ugly. And that, my friends, spells defeat. Are you following my drift so far? Want to defeat a narcissist? Begin with the honest truth and some good old-fashioned limits and boundaries. Boom, that’s all it takes.
