This is an important question: how do you feel with this person in relation to everyday dealings with other people? If you know you have integrity, can listen, have empathy, are capable of having sane conversations, and get along with most people in your life, yet there’s this person who brings out the worst in you, it’s generally because your boundaries are being violated. The normal modes of human operations don’t stand. The circular arguments you’re having make your head spin because they go around and round on unrelated tangents and points that make no sense.
Narcissists state how disloyal your accusations of them are when confronted, or they argue with you to manipulate you into something unwholesome. You find yourself trying to prove that you’re a good person because the narcissist regularly accuses you of all the things that they are and do, such as lacking integrity, love, and care for people, being unfaithful, lying, making it all about yourself, and using people for your own gain. Naturally, you’ll be incensed and try extremely hard to prove and convince them otherwise.
