Number: Stop beating yourself up.
Narcissists aren’t good at taking responsibility for their actions. They aren’t going to change if you keep telling yourself you’re the worst person ever. Instead, focus on your own growth and development, and don’t worry about other people’s thoughts. That way, no matter what happens, you’ll always be able to look back at yourself with pride instead of shame. If you have trouble dealing with a narcissist, you’ve probably been beating yourself up.
Narcissists are manipulative and can make you feel like all the problems in your life are your fault. They’ll make you feel like if only you were better at listening to them or more on top of things or more confident, they would change their behavior and be nicer to you.
Number 7: Walk away and don’t chase revenge.
The first thing to know about narcissists is that they are always in control of the situation, even when losing. You have power over them by walking away. If you walk away from them, they will come after you because they need to be in control of you. If you walk away without seeking revenge, they’ll know that they can’t manipulate you anymore and lose their power over you.
Trying to get back at a narcissist is tempting, but it won’t work. Narcissists are like vampires, they feed off of others, but if you cut them off, they die. The best way to destroy a narcissist is to ignore them and not give them the attention they crave. The best revenge against a narcissist is not to give them what they want; your attention or emotional response. If you refuse to engage with them, eventually, they’ll get bored and move on.

Number 8: Spend time with people who genuinely love you.
Narcissists are most likely to feel threatened by people who care about you and make you feel loved. Narcissists feel the need to be the center of attention, so when they see someone else taking your attention away, they’ll try to get it back by using whatever means necessary. A narcissist will never be able to compete with the relationships you have with your friends or family.
Narcissists are known for being insufferable, so it’s essential to surround yourself with people who love you and make you feel good about yourself. Spending time with people who genuinely care about you will boost your self-esteem, making you less vulnerable to narcissists’ manipulations.
