3. Begin A Smear Campaign.
The final approach is where the narcissist begins a smear campaign. The narcissist may choose this option as they would see it as an opportunity to project all their negative traits onto that person. The narcissist sees you as a threat to their existence, so they need to terminate you by playing the victim and paint you as the perpetrator.
It is necessary that everyone sees you as the bad guy who should be shunned and pushed aside so the narcissist will go to all lengths to discredit you. But no matter which method is employed, the narcissist is hoping that you do not expose them. So they would play nice to soften you up, or they would avoid you, hoping out of sight out of mind, or they will smear you to destroy you and discredit you first before you do it to them.
All methods are to protect the narcissist and their number one interest, which is their false image and reputation. Narcissists don’t want anyone reigning on their parade. If you know too much, you make the narcissist uncomfortable. They need to either get you back under control, avoid you, or eliminate you.

When the narcissist knows that you have figured them out and you are not playing their game anymore or will not allow yourself to be manipulated by them, to the narcissist, it screams lack of control, and the narcissist hates what they cannot control. They need you to keep seeing them through rose, tinted glasses, and not for the evil, sick, twisted bastards that they really are.
 Narcissists are not smarter or better. They are not difficult to outthink or defeat. Knowing what you are dealing with is half the battle sorted, and the narcissist knows this; that is why they would prefer if you remained ignorant of their devices and their true intents. And that is why when they realize you are not playing along, you become an instant threat.
