If you find yourself dealing with a narcissist in a situation where there might be legal implications, such as in the workplace or during a divorce, it is crucial to document everything. Keeping a record of interactions, conversations, and any incidents can provide valuable evidence if the need arises. Save emails, text messages, and other forms of communication.
Take notes after conversations, detailing dates, times, and key points discussed. This documentation serves as a safeguard against their manipulative tactics or false accusations. It helps you maintain a clear and accurate account of events, protecting your credibility and ensuring you have evidence to support your side if required. Remember, documentation should be done discreetly and securely to avoid escalating the situation or putting you at risk.

Dealing with a narcissist can be an isolating experience, but you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Building a support network of trusted friends, family, or support groups can provide immense strength and validation. Surround yourself with people who understand the dynamics of narcissistic relationships and can offer empathy, advice, and encouragement.
Share your experiences with them, seek their insights, and lean on their support when needed. Having a support network not only validates your experiences but also helps you stay grounded and focused on your well-being. Remember, you deserve to be heard and supported. Together, you can navigate the challenges of outsmarting a narcissist and regain control over your life.
