How To Deal With A Narcissist

Know When to Walk Away

When dealing with a narcissist, it's crucial to know when to walk away. This includes both walking away from conversations and walking away from relationships entirely. It's important not to pour endless time and energy into a relationship that doesn't benefit you and actually turns out to be draining. If a narcissist is demanding too much from you, seeking undue attention, or acting toxic, it's time for the conversation to stop. The more attention and energy you spend on them, the more you validate and give them what they want. Similarly, any relationship you have should be mutually beneficial, whether that relationship is romantic, a friendship, a familial bond, or working with a colleague. In some cases, like with work or family, you may not be able to cut a toxic narcissist out of your life entirely. But you should learn to limit interactions with them and be aware of how much you're getting from the relationship.
