7. Join in on the emotion
When the narcissist is sad, mad, pissed off, whatever about something, you can actually join in along with them, and this is more useful than fighting with them, or telling them they have no reason to feel the way they do. Something that’s just going to start a fight you’re not necessarily going to be pissed off or whatever they are.
What you’re just going to do here is kind of more or less agree with them. You’ll say something along the lines of, “ I know that it’s wrong that other people don’t see what you bring to the table. So you should really do a b c x y z to really show them. Show them what you bring to the table. Or it’s obvious that you’re mad I can tell because a b c x y z and I’d be mad as hell too if I were you, I totally get it.
Again, this helps, especially when they’re angry about something.

This one is essentially about you showing them a little empathy, and, of course, you do that in a way that just kind of brings you over to their team again so that you’re not the brunt of the anger, the rage, and things like that. What you’re basically going to do is show them that you get what they’re going through because you have that ability to be empathic.
Now again, you don’t necessarily feel this way. This is just going to make things easier. so again, you’re just kind of being empathetic and showing them things. You show empathy where they obviously can’t and they won’t do that.
These are some ways that you can cope with a narcissist, and maybe get a few things out of having to deal with them as
