By the end of this article, you’re going to know exactly what to say to a narcissist and, more importantly, exactly how to say it so the narcissist will never even consider messing with you again. This is going to be good—let’s do it!
So, let’s get into it: what to say to a narcissist so they never consider messing with you again. Now, to begin with, it’s important to know your audience. When you’re dealing with someone with a destructive narcissistic personality pattern, remember that you are actually dealing with an entitled, childish ingrate who lacks boundaries and has very little, if any, empathy. They may even be completely lacking in conscience, meaning the impact of their attitudes and behavior on you doesn’t even register on their radar. They are fundamentally incapable of understanding or caring about the negative and detrimental effects they have on your life.
In addition, understand that you are dealing with a master manipulator—someone who can and will lie with tremendous ease, someone who will go to any lengths, lengths that you and I cannot even fathom, just to get their way, just to win the right fight, just to be seen as the good guy or girl or the victim to your villain, no matter how appallingly they themselves have behaved. They will always find a way to land on either the hero or the victim side of the story. Therefore, you want to be sure to choose your battles wisely. And I’m going to be straight with you: the truth is, more often than not, it’s going to be in your best interest to simply not engage whatsoever. Instead, just back away quietly and stay under the radar. Once you get away, stay away for good.
But if for any reason that’s not an option for you, or if for any reason you’re not quite ready, willing, or able to distance yourself completely and you’re tired of being pushed around by the toxic bully, then here’s what you need to know when it comes to what to say to a narcissist for maximum effect and impact. Remember, it’s not so much what you say, but how you say it that matters. It’s about the posture you embody, the energy you carry, the frequency with which you calibrate—in other words, your emotional intelligence, your sense of self-worth, and your confidence. That matters more than anything else.
