Remember, narcissists seek “supply”—emotional reactions that validate their ego and dominance. By responding with “whatever,” you close the bar that serves their need for control and manipulation. You reclaim your energy, your self-respect, and your direction in life.
I encourage you to focus on building healthy connections with people who value mutual respect and understanding. Let the narcissist’s games pass you by, and instead, lead your life with confidence and intentionality.
For further insights and tools to deal with narcissists, feel free to visit my website, explore my workshops and books, or seek support from a licensed professional counselor.
You have better things to do with your life than play into someone else’s dysfunction. When the narcissist extends their golden invitation to join their games, let your answer be a firm, confident “no.”
