Tips when you are forced to communicate with a Narcissist

Narcissists are usually highly sensitive and emotional individuals. Naturally, any relationship with a narcissist will involve displaying strong emotions. Not just the partner but you too. It is more important to channel those emotions than reacting to them. Manipulation is a common strategy that narcissists usually resort to. Keep an eye out for that. Encourage dialogue and try to open your partner up about feelings as much as possible. Never react when he/she is at the peak of their behaviour, inform them you will only speak once everything has calmed down.

In the hands of a skilled manipulator, future faking preys on your dreams and goals in order to fabulate a possible future so that they can string you along in the now. These promises are destined to be broken, and can be seen as a form of overpromising and under delivering. Essentially, the manipulator will take very little action, if any, towards keeping their promises. Instead, they will keep promising and using other forms of coercive control, passive and active abuse, until you find yourself in...

How does a narcissist get you into their web?

From the very first day the narcissist meets you – during the love-bombing phase – what they’re trying to do is replace your thoughts with their negative and toxic programming.

By all accounts, this is often when people feel self-actualized for the first time in their lives. During love bombing, you feel the most self-actualized. All your unique traits, your dreams, your interests, your spirituality…the narcissist makes you feel like they are the...
