5. I disagree with you!
The fifth thing you can say to a narcissist that will really get their back up is, I disagree with you. Narcissists hate opposition and confrontation. So if they are trying to convince you of something or trying to get you to buy into their logic, and you outright disagree, they may at first try to persuade you, but if you hold your ground, they will get really frustrated, and try to change the subject.
Narcissists believe you should see the world and people as they do. They want you to agree with their line of thinking and hold opinions that are in favor of theirs. If you are a very opinionated person, the narcissist will not want to be around you because you will be constantly challenging their way of thinking, and they don’t like that.

Disagreeing with the narcissist is a clear sign to them that you are strong-willed and will not be easily swayed. But it also lets the narcissists know that you don’t revere them as you should. So they will look to turn others against you so that others will not like you either, and hopefully push you out of that social group.
So to conclude, there are things that you can say that will hurt the narcissist but always consider the consequences as well. At the end of the day, what all this shows is that the narcissist hates what they cannot control. You not being impressed by them, not trusting them, not agreeing with them are clear signs to the narcissist that you are not buying what they are selling. Their false image and persona haven’t captivated you, so they see you as a threat to their existence.
