Number 3: A narcissist breaks down when you do not let them control and manipulate you.
They don’t like to be told what to do; they want to be in control and you to do everything their way. Narcissists always want to be in charge of everything. They will try to dominate you as much as possible so that you will feel less confident or even inferior to them.
A narcissist wants control over every aspect of your life: From what you wear, where you go, who you spend time with, and what music plays in the car when you drive. Make them feel like they are not in control of the situation. This can be done by not giving the narcissist what they want or need, by taking away something from them; either physically or emotionally. One way to do this is by refusing to give them the attention they crave or saying “No” when they ask for something.
Number 4: A narcissist breaks down when you reject them.
Narcissists are very sensitive to any form of rejection. They feel like they are the only ones who matter and that everyone else should care about their needs and wants. When a narcissist is rejected, they blame someone else for their future and try to find another person to take their place.
Narcissists are used to getting their way, so it can be devastating when they’re rejected by someone or something that matters to them. They’ll do whatever they can to get back at you. They keep coming back until they’ve succeeded in making you pay for your perceived offenses against them.
Number 5: A narcissist breaks when you compliment and praise other people.
Narcissists believe they deserve to be praised and complimented all the time, and when they don’t get it, they lash out in anger. To break a narcissist, you need to compliment other people in front of them or praise them for their achievements. This will cause narcissists to see themselves as unimportant or not deserving of all the attention they crave.
It may seem counter-intuitive, but you’re breaking down the narcissist’s self-image when you compliment and praise other people. When you do this, they see themselves as less valuable than those around them. That’s a terrifying thought for a narcissist who is accustomed to being the most important person in any room.
