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.
Narcissists can resemble toddlers, in that they tend to be extremely sore losers. They struggle to accept losing, and they also tend to lash out when it happens. A few scenarios may occur: They repeatedly proclaim the person in charge (boss/referee) was incompetent They attempt to defame or humiliate the winner They pretend they didn’t care about winning They insist that they “let the other person” take the spotlight They refuse to accept that they lost and awkwardly act as if they’re the actual winner (you may have experienced this by hearing, after you’ve left them, that they’ve told everyone they’re the one who left you! )
