How can you have a relationship with a narcissist?

The only way to have a relationship with a narcissist is to meet their expectations, be on the same page as them, perfect oneself, and not disagree or have a separate opinion.

How to shut down a narcissist?

Do what you can to avoid taking their bait – and giving bait. You must do what you can to avoid engaging with them.

  • Clearly communicate your needs and boundaries – in writing if possible.
  • Prepare an if/when list. Take some quiet time to write down every challenging thing you predict your narcissist might do or speak.
  • Believe you deserve better – so you stop apologizing to them. Stop apologizing so much to your narcissist. Apologizing will only backfire on you!
  • Accept you cannot change them – so you’re less surprised and less frustrated. I am not telling you to accept a narcissist’s terrible treatment.
