How will you hold a narcissist back? If the narcissist is persistent, you have to strike where it hurts. You should destroy the narcissist’s ego. But how? What will destroy a narcissist’s ego? Ego refers to a person’s sense of self and can manifest in terms of esteem, pride, and importance. Every human being has a so-called ego within them; however, narcissists’ egos are somewhat bigger than those of ordinary people. Narcissists’ egos are so inflated and false that they negatively affect their views on life. Here are 10 things that will destroy narcissists’ egos, which anyone can use as an offense and defense against them.
Number 1: Criticisms
Criticisms are like wrecking balls for narcissistic egos that are always built substandardly. Narcissists love to receive admiration and respect from those around them, so they tend to present themselves with superiority and strength. However, behind such power and dominance lies something inferior and weak. Thus, criticizing narcissists triggers that flawed and fragile ego they try so hard to hide. It crushes their false portrayals of superiority and strength. If you criticize a narcissist, you should prepare yourself because criticisms make narcissists reactive and defensive. But worry not; when they defend or react, it just means that your criticism is taking effect.

Insults strip narcissists of the high opinions or expectations they have for themselves. Hence, insulting a narcissist contradicts their views.
