5 Ways To Handle A Narcissist

-

Sometimes, we come across people who are utterly self-absorbed and believe the world revolves around them. They have an excessive interest in themselves, sometimes at the expense of those around them. Therefore, it becomes necessary to have a strategy to deal with such people and avoid being negatively affected by them. Dealing with narcissists can be a tough task at times, but these few tips should ease the burden.



1. Don't try to win their appreciation



Narcissists have large egos and usually view others as inferior to them physically and mentally. Bearing this in mind, never expect a narcissist to appreciate you nor should you take their criticisms to heart. When someone you know to be a narcissist criticizes your work, look for a second opinion from a better-balanced person; someone who is not self-absorbed and would not cast you down to prop him/herself up.



As self-absorbed as narcissists can be, they also notice when their charms or guile do not affect a person. When you take a position of non-confrontation or non-responsiveness, the narcissistic urges drop and they learn to behave better.



2. Listen to them



Narcissists are generally attention-seekers and when they feel you are not giving them the
attention they desire, they get irritated. Being a narcissist does not mean the person
lacks good qualities or does not have things that can be appreciated. When you notice an
action or deed that is worthy of recognition or praise, do not hesitate to do so. This will
bridge the gap between you and the person, allowing for a better and hopefully long-lasting
relationship. However, it goes without saying that a narcissist will always want more.


You can try to make them happy but don't at the cost of your own happiness.


3 Have realistic Expectation



It is quite necessary to recognize the emotional limits of Narcissist.whatever you do for them,their priorities won't change and there is fair chance you will be at the receiving end of their emotional manipulations.You must not accept too much from them.Know them for who and What they are and act accordingly.

4 Learn the act of communication



You will find it hard to coerce a narcissist. Force is not a useful tool with people like them.You will find more success if you resort to ego massaging.Appeal to their heightened sense of self while keeping your goal in mind.

5 Identify the people who value you



If you have so many people with narcissist tendencies. It will drain you. You will find yourself constantly trying to massage their ego and adjust to them.Do not let this happen to you.
Let those who surround you be people who value you for you and not for inflating their over sized ego.

These methods will hopefully help you deal better with the narcissist you have around you without having to be emotionally,mentally and physically drained.
