  • 10 Tactics to Put a Narcissist in Their Place. In this video, we cover 10 ways to put a narcissistic person in their place. You will learn techniques to put down the narcissist in case it's someone you can't get away from.
    Do you have a narcissist in your life?
    Before you embark on the journey of putting a narcissist in their place, there is one thing you should keep in mind. It will be the fight of your life. If you have been allowing a narcissist to manipulate you and dominate you for a long time, it will be a fight to change things. But you will be so glad you did. Narcissists are wired to be abusive because they lack empathy. They naturally take offense and misunderstand the needs and perspective of others. They can be rattled by the tiniest thing.
    When they get angry, they may call the other person names, confront them, use slurs against them, use closed-off behavior, or the silent treatment. They can do it in a very calm and cold way, which is even more disturbing than if they’d rejected you openly.
    It’s good for you to realize that the narcissist is not going to change, and you’ll be relieved when you realize you can spend your energy somewhere else. It will be the fight of your life, but it will be worth it. Here are 10 tactics to put a narcissist in their place. We recommend you stick with us until sign number 10. When you hear number 10, you will be surprised you never thought of it.

    I've tried all of this, for many years, and it is exhausting. None of this will work if you're dealing with someone with pathological narcissism. You, simply, cannot beat someone with pathological narcissism at his or her own game, and you will wear yourself out trying to. The only solution you have when dealing with a narcissist is to leave. I have been planning my escape for months. I cannot wait until I'm finally able to leave. I'm not even giving any warning. I'm just leaving.

      The best thing you can do is to make yourself vanish from their life without notice and without a trace. Plan your escape. Tell no one. Make your escape while the narc is gone. Narcs believe they own their spouse much like any other piece of property and they don't tolerate losing control over those they own. Many become violent. Protect yourself. Be careful. Know that you deserve better! Good luck to you!

      Someone said that to me, some people take kindness for weakness. But I heard a different version of this saying. Kindness is not weakness it is strength under control. This is the typical narcissistic attitude and they only see kindness as weakness. For me personally I see kindness as the best way to communicate with others. And I believe that whenever you project kindness to a narcissistic person, they see it as weakness and that's when they started pounding on you. And you don't want to say anything to them because everything you say to them is falling on deaf ears they can only hear your own thoughts and they cannot feel the pain that they cause others, because their hearts are only connected to their own feelings.

    @caralee2617 2 місяці тому +171

    The only way to take control from a narcissist is to get yourself from their domain first. You wont be able to figure out anything until and unless you are out of the hellish world. I will tell you one of my favourite stories. Once a King was too disturbed by everything that was happening around him. He felt as if no one was loyal to him and he was always afraid of his kingdom being attacked by perpetrators. He lost his sleep and his life had become hell. So he thought of taking a brief sojourn in the countryside. He passed through lush green fields and picturesque landscapes. The silent breeze that brushed through his hair filled his heart with joy. That is when he saw a farmer who was putting fence around his farmland. But his farmland had weeds all over and they hardly had any crops. This intrigued the King. He asked the farmer as to why was he putting a fence around the farm when the farm itself was covered with weeds. To this the farmer said that the farm was his own so he could get rid of the weeds whenever he liked. But he cant stop the stray dogs from running over his fields and destroying them. That is why he was putting the fence. To stop the stray dogs from venturing into the field. Once he was very assured about the security of his fields he can work on clearing the weeds and planting crops. On hearing this the King somewhat got the answer which he had been searching for. The human mind is also like the field. You cant control assholes from fiddling with your mind or saying bullshit. But you can definitely put a fence ( figuratively) so that these assholes cant influence you. And until and unless you dont put a fence you can never work on yourself. Once you have distanced yourself from toxic people then you can work on the healing process. Same is the case with narcs. Narcs are these stray dogs who suck your energy emotionally. They play mind games for fun because their mind wants melodrama. They hurt the very people who love them. So total isolation from these narcs is absolutely essential for the well being of your Mind. Once you are out of their mind games you can take decisions rationally. Narcs try to drain you emotionally. So everytime you respond to their low vibrations you tend to come to their level. But when you react confidently without panicking and without responding to their negative vibrations that is when you Win. When someone realises that you arent being influenced or being manipulated by their actions they will get tired of it. And after cutting them off completely from your lives you should work on your healing process. Work on clearing your mental clutter and keep yourself preoccupied. Read books and most importantly try to find your Purpose in life. When you find your Purpose you will be able to bear any pain in this World. Most importantly help others in need. When you find someone else who is stuck with a narc help them to get out of that. I feel this is the way to take control from a narcissist. P.S: I hardly find people around me who know about emotional abuse. But I think everyone should read and know about it. In today’s mean world you will find a lot of people who try to influence you or demoralise you using the sweetest of words. Its about identifying these covert manipulators and distancing yourself from them. I have immense respect for people who have survived narcissistic partners. They happen to be the most strongheaded and emotionally stable people you can come across. I learn a lot of things from them. Truly the broken will always be the most beautiful.

Don't provoke someone like a jealous person as they just play victim and over exaggerate ,they'd have it said you threatened or swore despite it being total bs. If I had my time over to replay it, this nasty piece of work I dealt with would have been used as a floor mop and then I'd have went to sleep in a cell for something rather than simply telling a particularly nasty operator to stay away from me. Simple as that,keep your mouth shut or do the job properly. Make the cell stay worth it but try to stay away and always be silent on social media too,no names no backlash.

    First step is Knowing what a narcissist is. Second step is identifying a narcissist. Third step is using effective actions to counter a narcissist. Best methods that have worked for me personally and comfortably are, ignore them, converse with others as if there not there, look straight at them calling them by name,DONT ever show or emit weakness. Be of your own will power at all times,laughter will make them self destruct. YOU have the power, keep it! Be careful whom you talk to and what you say, narcissist use back stabbing channels and are highly manipulative to weak minded unsuspecting people around them.

I am not alone anymore I have seen thanks to the 'net & I am not "crazy" or jealous or insane... I was duped! I was strung along. I was a victim & fell so hard for lies. He stole my music taste & style & MY experiences & wrote them into his songs & dares to claim as many jerks do, that "she's a crazy B!". I am healing afa that wasted 6 years goes, I finally don't crumble when he doesn't call or show up for DAYS, I even bought his new wardrobe & gave so much of my blood, sweat, tears. Are there childhood issues & trauma like mommy issues that these love vampires have in common? Still learning about wtf really happened the last years I was in a fog of confusion & self doubt...

      3:05 " dont respond to the narcissist". I have to sort of disagree.. if the narc is a person in your friend group, with the loudest voice and the loudest laugh, and theyve got their sights set on you... it's going to be tough. If you walk away from them if they start to dump on you (say at a table at the bar) in front of others, and you don't "fire back" somewhat, your silence will look as if you had no comeback ready , and the friendgroup will see that and look at you as if you "retreated" or "uh oh, Bill just blasted Marty again."
      It' s a tough battle i've had with ppl over the years :/ Silence wont stop them, only appease them. Youve got to have comebacks ready to meet them fire with fire (not heavy handed, but humorous comebacks/sarcasm can work) or they'll create a negative feedback loop.

I said to myself, "That was it! It's over!" I didn't want more negative emotions, dramas, unnecessary nerves, and not to be respected as a human being, unnecessary meaningless arguments, etc., just because the narcissist wants to be right, to be number one, to be the center of attention.

    I had an associate who always talked behind peoples back, and I found out she had said a lot of shit about me (surprise!!), and I met her and she said " Do you have a second, I want to explain myself, I didn't mean to hurt you.." I just looked at her and said "No you can't, and I don't have time for your BS!" and she left really quick 🤣😅

I brought up all the stuff she did in the past and her answer all the time was "I don't remember that" instead of just saying "I'm sorry" and I would call her out on her behaviors DURING the conversation and she would claim "That's not what happened" while proceeding to DO/SAY the very things I was talking about in the very next sentence. It got to the point where it started to get funny actually. She's the kind of person who can do and say whatever to hurt you, but then play the victim when you call her out on it.
      And of course I heard about her slandering me to my sister which is even worse cause my mom used to put her down the worse growing up despite my sis already having pretty low self esteem as it is. Now instead of my sis growing into a person to stand up for herself, she's allowed herself to be fed lies and be controlled by a narcissistic parent

    After having dealt with narcissists for decades - the #1 piece of advice - walk away, pay them as little attention as possible.
    Also, after having dealt with narcissists for decades - if you want to stick it to the narcissist - prepare for one of the most brutal fights of your life.
    I DO NOT recommend going down the latter path because it can be very easy to lose yourself, especially if you have no idea what you are doing.
    I completely agree that systematically dismantling an abusive narcissist can be the single most satisfying thing in the world.
    Standing up to a narcissist is one thing, beating them in their own game is a WHOLE different thing.
    But the MAIN reason why I would advised going out of your way to mess with a narcissist:
    You have better things to do.
    You are free.
    Heal, recover, rediscover yourself.
    Help others who are dealing with narcissists.
    Live your own life.

    Calling them out creates an explosive argument filled with a never ending black hole of gaslighting. Narcissists will never take responsibility for their actions, so calling them out is a waste of time and energy. And when you’re in a relationship with one, you need to protect both of those things with everything you’ve got.

    Some comment about narcisists at workplace.
    Its not the narcisits against you. Once you uncover you will find that the narcisist only survives as long as there is no transparency. Giving selective information and keep people from being a team. Once you overcome this and create transparent info flow the power of a narcisist just vanishes! Transparency is the thing they hate the most!

Obama separated children at the border, but the media never told you until Trump became president then it was important. Under Trump, the US had the fastest-growing economy the world had ever seen. Gas prices were $1.50 (I bet you enjoy paying more!). Afghanistan is a complete disaster by leaving millions of dollars of high-tech equipment and Americans behind.

    Yeah. Don’t use ultimatums. Ask for what you want (like an apology or a SPECIFIC answer to a SPECIFIC question). But DON’T threaten them with any consequences if they don’t comply.
    Threats like this are PURE GOLD to narcissist. If you don’t word it just right, they’ll either say you’re a maniac or else you’re trying to blackmail them.
    Ask for what you want, preferably in a text or email. Then WAIT. They will probably ignore the request. But their failure to respond could be all the rope needed to hand themselves.

    Being with my ex narc for the past 6 yrs. made me observe this very pattern. I think they wanted to feel very important in a way that is disturbing. Instead of building trust with their intimate partners, they destroy the trust that they built with you (in that case lying when they tried to put you in their pedestal). Once they have a committed partner, they can’t stand being loved authentically by one person. Instead they go on and prey on other women that is susceptible to their love bombing. My ex narc was a compulsive pursuer in a relationship. He would go back and forth to the women he were involved before or try to meet women in complicated situation so that going public isn’t an option while having you as their main supply. In the end they destroy the very person that loved them. They are like toddlers testing your love for them. Showing and telling them you love them isn’t enough, they will cheat on your face to make you feel inadequate even if you are more than they deserve. They want to test your love for them so they keep hurting you and when you have enough of their abuse, you leave. Then they tell you, ‘you never loved me because you abandon me’. Well in fact it’s their actions and narcissistic behavior that made you leave or in other cases they discard you and will give silly reasons of the discard. Mine would use, ‘she’s crazy’, ‘she’s a nega-star’, ‘she insults me’, ‘she cheated on me’ et al. So with this pattern of infidelities and emotional abuse (who knows what else) it’s better to walk away. I did walk away and is now rebuilding my life with our daughter. We are struggling financially because I’m not earning enough to provide for my daughter but now we get to laugh and bring with us sunshine every day. No lies, no abuse and no fake love. We only live once, forgive yourself and move forward but never forget the lesson that narc abuse taught you. That is to respect yourself to walk away from what’s hurting and destroying you. That you deserve a life of solitude, happiness and love. Hugs*** :) Additionally I hired a private detective *Metaspyhub@gmail. com* . Once I knew what the narc was up to, it got easier to get over that lying, cheating, sack of doo doo, loser. I didn’t need closure from the narc, I paid for it. Best money I EVER spent!

    My mother is a narcissist and growing up with her in the same home was a REAL challenge. As I got older, there were LONG PERIODS I would go without speaking to her. I’m talking SEVERAL years. The last time I had to deal with her was for 13 months. But, I grew up and changed and at 33/34, I just wouldn’t argue with her at all. I learned to walk away, which happened DAILY! She realized I was distancing myself from her and started behaving petty by doing things like, taking toilet paper out of the bathroom or taking the napkins from the kitchen and hiding them in her room or she would try and start fights especially between my sister and her husband. It was the best feeling when my sister, her husband, and I NEVER entertained her not once. We would just replace the toilet paper, replace the napkins, and ignore her childish behaviors. She continued to do petty things and act poorly and we continued to behave maturely. In the past, we would let her have it. Well, guess what? A narcissist WANTS to see you in rage, upset, cry, needing them because for them they feel in control and feel they have complete control over you and your emotions. Guess what? I’m 35 and back living on my own again after COVID shook things up. We have ALL moved out and I continue to HAPPILY keep my distance.
    After I left, she told one of my sisters that she would never speak to us again. My sister said to her, Ev(me) went 8 years without speaking to you so I’m promising you she could care less! Hahahaha!!! Damn right!
    Story
    My sister use to work at Waffle House and we met a LOVELY therapist there. Amazing man! He got us talking and we got on the subject of our mom. He said, you have two options. You can keep a narcissist around and deal with whatever they bring OR you can walk away and love them from afar. He said, personally, I think walking away is the healthy option. I agreed and STILL agree with that and always will! WALK AWAY or take them as they are and allow them to drain the life out of you!
    12. Don’t feed into their crap. EVER! Silence is key. They’re already deeply insecure so when you step to them with not a damn thing coming out of your mouth and you walk away, it shows YOU are the powerful one and YOU have control over yourself! Who wins? YOU! Trust, I didn’t always do so. I do it now in general because silence is more powerful than words a lot of times. WALK AWAY!!!! 🦋💙

      @ Michael Bracke Well, it all depends on how you are feeling on the inside. I would walk away because in the past it would turn into some drama that I refused to entertain. I know I needed to do that, which even taught me patience. If you walk away with the intent that you are doing whats best for you and you see no point in engaging in nonsense, you are not in your ego.
      When I was a kid, my mom would charge at me and scream or smack me and I would stand straight staring at her, at first that is. Hahaha! I did it to piss her off and it worked. I wouldn’t flinch, scream back, or show any kind of emotions. That was my little ego at play! And it worked. Lol! Now, I’m 35, I just walk off or I get quiet because I notice I’m getting annoyed and the conversation will end no where. I witnessed that a hundred times over. Anyone that argues with her gets smacked down, cursed out, and called names. No need!

    If you’re dealing with malignant narcissist under the influence of alcohol, it’s much harder than many think. They repeat the bad behavior (screaming/banging on doors for a long time or even resorting to violence) until they manage to break you, especially if you can’t get away, such as when they trap you in a room/vehicle. Some narcissistic people are very violent, not just controlling.If they resort to violence it’s much worse, because you can’t reason with them. They’re often filled with blinded controlling jealousy, if they’re your spouse/partner you’re more in danger when you leave/divorce them!

    There is however aspects of her that are too chilling, even for a narcissist. She worked for 14 years to trigger or make me angry 24/7. She made me sick for 10 years and got me in troubles that would make your hair grey. That’s not what’s chilling.
    What made my hair stand and still gives me chills is the calmness and coldness and joy in her eyes when she would make reach the edge of death from pain. The empathy she shows is part of her manipulation.
