Narcissists are masters of manipulation, often trying to make you feel guilty. Don’t let them control you this way. Recognize when they are trying to guilt-trip you and stand firm in your actions.
Number 8: Be Firm in Your Boundaries
Be clear about what you will and won’t do for the narcissist. This will help prevent them from exploiting your kindness. Setting boundaries is crucial to avoid future manipulation.
Number 9: Don’t Give Them the Power to Control You
Narcissists crave control over others. Avoid giving them this power by being honest and assertive, even if it makes them mad. If you find yourself being controlled, take a step back and examine why that might be happening.
Number 10: Be Honest at All Times
Narcissists can be easily offended by differing opinions. Always strive to be honest, as they will try to manipulate your words. Be cautious about what you say, as they can twist your words against you.
Narcissists can be very destructive to those around them. You should now have a clearer picture of how to counteract their influence through self-improvement, self-love, and kindness. Although it’s impossible to eliminate narcissists entirely, we can overcome their negative influence and lead happier lives.
