The key to deal with a narcissist if you ca not go no contact with them

If you deal with a narcissist then you probably know the best solution is to go no contact with this person and eliminate all sorts of communication with them to protect your energy from the manipulation.

But when I was browsing through TikTok the other day, I ended up knowing the best advice regarding how to deal with a narcissist if you can't go "no contact" with them.

There are different reasons that many people can't cut ties with the narcissist in their lives, and that could be financial or cultural reasons.

For example, many societies ban children of narcissistic parents from going no contact with them, cultural background sometimes makes it impossible to leave abusive parents.

Also, many people stay with narcissistic partners because they need them financially or because they have nowhere to go.

So what's the second best option in how to deal with a narcissist in your life? The answer is: don't react.

A narcissist is looking for a reaction from you, they either want you to be angry or cry to isolate yourself.

That's their main goal, is to see you react and lose your balance.

Don't react to them and don't get into an argument, also do not let their criticism or whatever they said to provoke you to get in your head.

Either mentioning your weight or your career or your friends, don't think about what they say and simply reply without showing any emotions.

Don't play their game, you won't win.

I know it's easier said than done but practice limiting your reaction when dealing with a narcissist, it's the second safest solution.
