7. Don’t walk on eggshells around them.
Disclaimer: If you are in a physically abusive narcissistic relationship, do not try to implement this tactic, but try to contact authorities and mental health professionals near you as soon as possible and let them know about your situation. However, in all other cases, where there is no danger of physical violence, put your feet on the ground and walk around assertively, without the fear that you may upset the narcissist.
Narcissists get upset over minor stressors and every detail that poses an inconvenience to them, so why would you need to watch your every step? Narcissists actually resent people who walk on eggshells to avoid their volatile nature, because this eggshell walking reminds them of their hypersensitivity which they would never admit.
8. Set clear boundaries.
Ironically, narcissists, who pose tons and tons of boundaries on what people can say, do or ask of them, hate those same boundaries in other people. These boundaries will protect you from their need to control you, and it may actually make them even show you something resembling respect when they notice that they will not be able to manipulate you into letting them in once you’ve set those boundaries.
