Attempting to outplay a narcissist is a futile and potentially harmful endeavor. Narcissists thrive on conflict, manipulation, and control. Engaging in their games only feeds their need for power and attention.
Instead of trying to outmaneuver them, focus on setting clear boundaries, disengaging from their drama, and protecting your peace of mind.

Narcissistic abuse can erode your confidence, damage your mental health, and create lasting emotional scars. By downplaying the harm they cause, you risk normalizing their toxic behavior and remaining trapped in a damaging dynamic.
Recognizing and validating the harm they inflict is a crucial step toward breaking free from their influence.
