Here are a few of the most important things you can do.
1. Remember that knowledge is power
Simply, be aware of the fact that the narcissist might try to hoover you, and become familiar with the signs of hoovering. That’s what you’re doing right now. That in itself can be enough to help you avoid falling for it. Knowledge is power.
2. Use the grey rock method for the win
Don’t show any emotion, and only talk to the narcissist if you must about what you must. If you have no shared children or no shared business, you can absolutely go completely no contact.
3. Cut all communication
If possible, completely eliminate their ability to contact you. Change your phone number. Block them on social media, and don’t answer the door if they come to a call in. Focus on yourself for once. Take the time you need to do self-care to do that redecorating project you’ve been meaning to do or even to just do more nice stuff for yourself. You deserve it, and it’ll help you distract yourself from the narcissist hoovering attempts if nothing else.

4. Get by with w little help from your friends
Reconnect with your old friends and make some new ones in the process. While you absolutely should not jump into any romantic relationships too soon after ending one with a narcissist because obviously, you should heal first, It’s a great idea to dive into your friendships since most likely you’ve lost touch with your old friends as a result of the narcissist isolating you during the relationship. What better way could there be to celebrate the end of it.
Reach out to your old friends and consider making new ones by getting involved in a group of like-minded people. Maybe that means taking a class, or going to church, or synagogue, or joining a local club. You can also look at sites like meetup.com to find groups of local people with similar interests.
