3. Changing the conversation
If you are having a discussion about something and the narcissist changes the conversation, it’s because they don’t want their mask to slip, and they don’t want to expose themselves. So instead, they will think of something else to talk about. They will try to divert the conversation in a different direction because you caught them off guard and they were not prepared for it.
Everything the narcissist does is an act. If you ask them something on the spot, it pulls them out of the act, so then they have to think of something else to say to cover it up. When the narcissist reacts defensively or tries to change the conversation, this is another sign that you’ve hurt the narcissist.
