    You simply cannot communicate with a narcissist…. They’re incapable of honest interaction!!!!

    They hate silence when they're not in control of it. They have no problem going silent on you to punish you but it ends up not being a punishment. It morphs into a paradise noticeably free of a sadistic tormentor. It's in this silence you find your peace again, regain your sanity and realize you never want to go back to a narcissist's hell ever again. ✝️🙌🙏

      Be goal orientated and communicate to fulfill ONLY your objective. They don't care what you want, ONLY their objective. The narcissist has only a superior vertical power structure. BE QUIET, LOW CONTACT/NO CONTACT. DO NOT OFFER THEM YOUR WORDS OR OPINION OR THE TRUTH (STOP, but do not lie. Worship God only.)

    The day you finally say “enough” and decide you have given up being emotionally abused with that menacing silence, the sun starts to come out in your life and peace surrounds you. You are eased into the next phase of taking back your dignity. You stop trying to love them, and start loving yourself instead.

    I once became buddies with a female coworker who had invited me to her home. I noticed she had several pictures of herself and spoke in vague and charismatic terms to butter me up so I would do her small favors like changing a tire or fixing her internal car engine problems. She tried being very "push and pull" with our small relationship but I saw through it right away thanks to your videos. It's like she keeps people around as if though we were a deck of cards, and our level of kindness was our health points.

    Say a times "you must be tired
    Because what you just said
    Wasn't coherent, could you
    Repeat that so I can get your
    Point " He wanted me to be

    I literally take a piece of paper and make a list of two or three topics that I will discuss during the conversation. Usually they are related to wether, random cooking recipes, food prices. Anything that is not include argument or emotional triggers. I don't talk about anything else (theirs favorite topics: victimhood). And when they bring up other topics, I remain silent. Then I quickly move on to my subjects. Otherwise, I fall into the trap and get myself entangled in an emotional storm that can last for hours or even days.

I always make sure to interrupt the very last word of his response to my question with either a “oh my phones ringing” or “ I think I heard the door” to prevent the conversation turning off track.

    Truth. The less the better when communicating with a narcissist. Use few words with short and simple replies. Try to keep your contact with the narc. straight forward with generic replies, such as conversing and answering their questions with the same identical replies and answers. Same answers and/or reply. Try to avoid long conversations as they will use this format to try and bait you. To pull you into their drama and chaos. Best practice is to limit your conversations. Speak to them in a no emotion monotone voice. I referr to this as talking like a robot. Try to avoid any elevation in your voice. Short, simple, and straight to the point. Use text as much as you can. If you can respond later not immediately.

      This was exactly what I was thinking we had never heard of the word narcissist, knew something was seriously wrong with him, he chewed me up and destroyed my self esteem (which I have back now) was like living in a confused nightmare most of the time. Had so much charm until the day after we got married.

    That's right....Narcissist are Sadistic, false little gods demanding you obey them, so they can use you over and over. Don't play the games....Silence is Golden. Use it.

    They hate when u speak with purpose because they can’t speak with purpose. They literally hate u for who u are but they will not verbally admit it to you. They want to be u so they mirror u in hopes that u don’t find out who they are. The funny thing about mirrors they break‼️✌🏾😎 I cried I grieved but it was way too easy to move on because I seen the patterns n when u lay everything down on the table trust me that’s the thing they hate the most cause they’re like kids they do not care n some of em will tell u straight up.

    I try to speak as less as possible, yes or no. Ok or not ok. I often think of the words before I say it and often I realized no words are needed. Be safe everybody.

    You wage a war with them. Its unfortunate you need to resort to these type of things. Well done Richard at least here its a safe zone, there are other good teachers on this subject online, only follow you, unfortunately sick of getting trolled there and attacked then having to tell them to bugger off, no safe space here everyone is normal and theres genuine people who are learning and improving
    Id rather learn and improve myself and validate then waste my time in a slanging match just over drama queens
    Im glad same age group so you relate well and you complement what my Dr says, Im healing well and got my voice personal power back, thanks keep up good work😇

    So basically, with a narcissist (or who we deem a narcissist), we should be/act like a psychopath. Isn't it typically the victim that writes the essays because of all the pain and the life that's being ignored/overlooked and life that's coming out of them?

    • @ACSuperstar
      @ACSuperstar Год назад +2

      It depends on the type of narcissist. My uncle is the one who will send essays. But, with others, it was me sending the essays, which they replied to with minimal words; if they replied at all. I no longer send essays... it's a waste of time to try to tell them how to act like a decent person. And they don't care if they hurt you, so it's useless to tell them.

    • @AZDC99
      @AZDC99 Год назад +3

      It's all about intention! If in a street fight with the psychopath, you can't just let them wail on you. Same thing applies for the mental scenario. They lost the privilege of our empathy probably a while back

    No fuel, no contact. Works like a charm, and we have to ask ourselves seriously if we respond without clear reason. That is something we can write on ourselves as codependency.

    Make sure you draw a map back to your original point because they will wander all over and try to drag you with them. You can ask a question ten times and watch them redirect 10 times and never get an answer. Good luck!!!

    you are amazing. thank u for the precious advise. the smartest advice I got from a therapist about how to handle a family member like this was to adopt a reduction strategy (reduce words, reduce sharing about your life, reduce interactions, reduce shared work or family engagements to a minimum, reduce minutes of phone calls, reduce glances etc) and it worked,but it's worth to remember it

    I went for help and was told to walk away from him, this didn't work he just followed me, I sat in a walk in wardrobe once to get away so he went and got the children and told them I was crazy. Even after divorce he would not let go, in the end I move Continant, and came home to UK... Yup he still kept at me for another 10yrs, been silent for 2 hope he stays that way.

    Being nice doesn't get you the nice treatment back, instead they think you are stupid and deserve to be stepped on.
