If you try to force them to see the truth by showing them books, videos, or other resources, it will not only be ineffective, but it may escalate the situation.

They may emotionally attack you, gaslight you into doubting your perspective, or even turn the situation into a blame game where they paint you as the bad person.
Even if you’re prepared for the worst, the emotional toll of this encounter is significant. Narcissists are skilled at manipulation, and they will do everything in their power to turn the tables on you. The more you try to engage or explain yourself, the deeper you get pulled into their game.
