Always look your best no matter how casual the situation is. The narcissist will see that you always look attractive and they’ll want to be seen with you. The narcissist might appreciate if you reflect their personal style. Choose outfits with matching colors or styles, so your looks are complementary.
Ignoring the person can seem harsh, but the narcissist may value you even more because you’re not always available.
Some narcissists see confident people as a challenge. They may try to break a confident person’s spirit through the cycle of narcissistic abuse: idealization, devaluation, and rejection. Don’t fall for it.
The narcissist thinks it reflects well on them to have someone special, skilled, or capable interested in them.
For instance, you’re getting hit on at a bar and you’re clearly not into it, the narcissist loves swooping in to rescue you. It feeds their ego and they’ll want to be around you. To make them chase you, turn them down a few times when they ask you out. Then, say yes, so they feel like they earned it.
Watch out for controlling behaviors with the narcissist. It’s not alright for them to restrict your access to friends or family. If you try to have a serious relationship with a narcissist, you may find that they move on to someone else when they get bored with the routine. By avoiding a relationship rut, will continue to look for your approval and attention.
They may fish for compliments. For instance, if they say something nice about how you look, don’t give a compliment right back. Instead, say something flirty like, “Oh, thanks. I know I look great. "
They have really big deficits of empathy. So, they won’t feel a connection and you might even lose a narcissist’s respect if you tell them you love them.
For instance, you might fight with them over something minor—maybe the narcissist showed up late for something. Call them out on it! They’ll love that you noticed and that you were seemingly upset.
In any case, make a point of leaving before the narcissist begins their campaign of criticism. A narcissist usually discards a person after devaluing them. To truly get over the narcissist in your life, continue no contact and make positive changes in your life, so you can move forward.
