    1-i agree with you in that's what you think.

    3-your approach is not working for me. you'll have to find a different one. you are the one who's upset.
    4-ok. (don't take their bait)
    5-if you want to engage in conversation, you will need to remain calm, factual and non-emotional
    6-i know that you're upset, but that's not a valid reason to be disrespectful.
    7-i'm choosing not to respond to that.
    8-i'm going to have to ask you to respect my boundaries.

    One question about the first "agreement" is that this person doesn't treat everyone the same way. Sometimes entire groups won't. You may well see someone being singled out. The quiet guy, the nice guy who doesn't retaliate. They'll pile on. It becomes socially acceptable to have a target. That guy probably has a hard time thinking it's not personal. Quandary of the scapegoats, the person with lower social value. It's very toxic, cowardly, etc.

    1. Boundaries without consequences are not boundaries.
    2. Say calmly, “I cannot talk to you right now.” Then leave the room, house, etc.
    3. When you cannot leave, the best response is no response.
    4. Telling him he is the one who is upset always backfires.
    5. Saying, “I understand, but I disagree,” is ok if you can leave immediately. No further engagement.
    6. Stating how their behavior makes you feel only gives them weapons to do it again. Hide your feelings. Then talk with a trusted counsellor.

    My narcissist landlord, after pressing him for rent receipts that I'd needed for the Iowa Renters Rebate 2022. I meet all the criteria for the rebate being disabled. He'd sent me text messages stating, "...you're not disabled, you're an able bodied man, you need to be working!!." and "you're just looking for a gov't handout." . I did tell him that he had, in fact violated my protected civil rights, and 7+ doctors have all said contrary. Then, more text messages, stating that, "Most people on SSI get like $2500 per mo., why do you only get $***.**?," ..even putting figures into brackets etc. I found these, and many more comments he'd texted, to be extremely offensive, mean spirited, and downright hurtful. I truly believe that anyone at his intelligence level and with a college degree in behavior disorders, would've and should've certainly known better than to do that.

    YES.
    I just also came to the realisation that the 2 narcs in my life also use each other as flying monkeys. I notice the attempts for the narcs to disrespect me but they will always do it so underhandedly. These are all very useful phrases if I need to use them. The narcs I know are too underhanded for me to do anything except just do the most minimal words possible like ''Oh okay'' or ''I hear you''. Because I'm used to having blank expressions even if I am feeling emotions I have sought to use that to help me against narcs. Being Autistic as well I feel a more magnified vulnerability in some odd way to narcs disrespect.
    I love your work in helping people deal with narcissists. For 25 years plus I've dealt with them but not until recent years I knew what the problem is so now I have something to work towards a solution.

    “Sure I am, and you are entitled to your faulty beliefs”
    “That’s fine, but I’ve made MY mind up”.
    “I’m sorry, what was that ? “
    “Uh huh, you’re right”. (Grey Rock)
    Also, remember if you are aware and can help it, never ask a narcissist “why are you doing this to me”? They will NEVER pull back with empathy It gives them the ultimate rush.

      Jesus, Almighty God 🙏 loves ❤ you more than you could possibly comprehend!
      He died for your sins, my sins and the sins of the world.
      Jesus stands with His arms opened wide, hoping and willing to heal, forgive, cleanse, strengthen and purify us. He is waiting to receive you with all love! He deeply desires a personal relationship with each and every one of us!
      RELATIONSHIP NOT RELIGION!
      Draw near to God and He will draw near to you, there is no repentance in the grave: There is no conversion after the last breath is drawn.
      Now is the time to believe in Christ and to lay hold of eternal life (J C Ryle).
      God has revealed Himself to us in the glory of creation, in the perfection of the written word and in personal experience of all who seek Him.
      Prayer 🙏 is giving our attention to God in a two-way Spiritual relationship where we talk to God and also listen to Him, you can pray 🙏 to God, through Jesus in the privacy of your own home (pray from your heart).
      God speaks to your heart because He loves you and wants to interact with you.
      So often we don't wait for God to speak after we've finished laying down our requests. Sadly, we don't watch for God to act in our lives.
      Did you know that God speaks to us through the Bible?
      The Holy scriptures Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God, given by divine inspiration through holy men of God who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
      The gift of the Holy Spirit is one of God's greatest gifts to us. Through the Holy Spirit we may know that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ!
      Scripture is always the voice of God in the general sense that God inspired the words of Scripture (2 Tim 3:16).
      God can also speak specifically to us through the Bible, by drawing a particular passage to our attention because the Word of God is living and active (Heb 4:12).
      We can say that it is God's primary way of speaking to us. Any other communication must be based and tested by what is taught in Scripture.
      The Holy Bible is God's guide for us, so we can reach Him, the only true living God and hear back from Him!
      Jesus is returning in the not so distant future!

Realizing that this was never going to change and I don’t have to do this, your channel helped me so much. I only wish I had realized and understood years ago.

      Start recording every conversation you have with the abuser. You know they lie and deceive and lie about what you say/ don’t say. Record it and if necessary play it back to those they are lying to. At least they’ll be caught in a lie. If you have domestic violence laws where you live what they are doing I bet would constitute acts against those domestic violence laws.

    The most painful thing is also when you are in a debate session, the narc attacks you in an open war and the bystanders don't take your side, don't engage, don't put the narc into his place, just watch the show cruelly. Not only is the narc humiliating me, but also changes the perception of the audience about me, like I am a loser, worthless, stupid, ridiculous person, invalidating me and sucking out my power, putting me on the defensive and the others believe the narc due to his despicable manipulation, so they are siding with me and against me.

Bringing his "helper" in position (flying monkey do some people call these) , avoiding responsibility for narc's own actions, etc (the someone is me and my familymember) , doing exacltly opposite of what would be helpful, doing harm whenever possible . - My consequnce here is by now: I was cutting consequently all conversation with this narc, - and doing work under witness from 3.side, finally someone laid work down because narc "can now do it better" he will now financially benefit from his slander; -- Makes me feel "on flight" like a refugee - in my own neighborship, in my own house.

    And, my closest daughter is calling me "selfish" insulted me by saying "I'm sorry about your mental illness." I'm annoying, and is cussing up a storm. She somehow thinks I won't allow her to come over and I blamed her.
    No. I just asked to stop the visits until she can respect me and not lie to me.
    I blocked both daughters and my EX. I missed the concert, and lost my money. Why did I think that if our child's involved, he'll take us? Don't believe them!

    Basically, step back and observe them for the adult-children they are. It's now your turn to be judgmental of THEM, realize they are NOT your superior... in fact , quite the opposite. But as Rebecca says, be unemotional and dont attack them directly or they'll explode into narc-rage. Pretend to be Spock when talking to them, observe, state facts, try to politely introduce doubt into their narrative of self-importance by asking questions (do you think what you are doing is the best solution?) as one would a preadolescent spoiled child. Dont accept any gaslighting ("now you know that's not true, little narc adult-child"). Once you assume this position, and realize the reality of it... the narc will be off balance and powerless over your emotions.
