Step 2: You Cannot Change a Narcissist’s Perspective
Step number two is understanding that you cannot change a narcissist’s perspective. When we argue with people, we essentially try to change their perspective so they can see ours. But that’s impossible in this context. You can’t change them; they are delusional. Therefore, all conversations with a narcissist should be goal-oriented. You cannot just go in and try to explain to your parents why they were abusive; it’s a lost cause. You have to know when to stop and when to leave for your sake. All conversations should have a clear goal in mind.
You have to see them for who they are and see your conversations with them as a kind of game. You have to predict their move before you make any, be in control of your emotions, hear beyond the words they use, and read their intentions.
