In today’s video, I’m going to teach you how to expose a narcissist with one powerful question. Actually, I’m going to give you a number of questions that will get the job done. All you have to do is choose the one that fits your situation best and use it. Let’s do it!

Pay attention to how they respond and leave it there. Don’t engage any further. You’ve shed light on the situation, and no matter what they come back with, let that be enough. Walk away if you need to. After you ask a question like this, silence can be your most powerful and effective weapon, so use it to your advantage.
Number two: “What would you say if someone treated [insert the name of someone you know they care about, like their golden child or a parent] the way you just treated me?” This shifts the focus and exposes their double standards as well as their sense of entitlement and abusive behavior for exactly what it is. Enough said—leave it there.
Number three: “When you said [fill in the blank], what exactly did you mean by that?” No matter what they say, just respond with “Oh” or “I see.” And not another word. Again, leave it at that. This puts them on the spot where they belong and makes it harder for them to backpedal or attempt to gaslight you. It will also have the added advantage of discouraging their disrespect moving forward. Because if there’s one thing narcissists will avoid like the plague, it’s exposure. They now know you are fully able and prepared to do exactly that.
