You need to understand that narcissists can only attack people if they have gaps in their self-esteem. If you have a diminished sense of self, they will attack you. So, what I’ve suggested for you is all about you standing in a healthy sense of self that the narcissist can’t argue with. Yet, it is a lot easier said than done, and I do have some disclaimers with this. Thriver recovery is, in my experience, the best way possible to make your recovery a lot easier.
Firstly, you may need to do a lot of inner work to hold this position.
Many of us had to do a lot of inner work because we were so affected and triggered. We couldn’t just decide to make those statements. We had to clean up a lot of the triggers inside to be able to do it.
Another disclaimer, sometimes no response may be the best response. Just entirely ignore the behavior. Don’t feed the bear because it’s not even worth your answer.
Maybe just think these empowering thoughts to yourself instead. They’re going to really help you be solid on the inside. Ideally, of course, you want your life to fill up with nonnarcissistic people. Nonnarcissistic people reflect your true self-worth and the development you’re now committed to by working on your Thriver recovery after narcissistic abuse.
A fully blown, ongoing relationship with a narcissist, even if you’ve got these little tips in your toolkit, could be really exhausting. It’s not in your best interest long-term to be going through that. Whereas separating, getting away, and healing will definitely be your most optimal option. So, you don’t have to put up with that rubbish at all.
Hopefully, these skills are only temporarily needed. They’re going to be helpful with narcissistic people who you could bump into at a family gathering, as an example.
I really hope that this has helped you today.
