I’d say you are using an ego sale technique in them

That doesn’t work, they just accuse you of telling them how they feel 😅

Nadine the Supreme 🔮 :
For people reading: the best way to deal with a narcissist first is to remove the emotion that they are trying to make you feel from yourself. Thats the biggest thing theyre trying to do, hurt you in some way, and while it's easier said than done, its the most vital step. It is also the most dangerous. A narcissist who has realized they lost you and your emotional reaction they feed off of will be terrified and triggered in their own right and they will find a way to desperately take control back. This is why he is recommending a non-confrontational approach, because it is the safest way to let them feel sort of in control, but guiding their behavior for your benefit and safety. Obviously, if you can find a way to remove them from your life, that is one of the safest options, but a lot of people dont or dont feel like they can- so everything said is advice for those who cant remove the problem person or themselves from the situation. Limiting as much contact is going to be your biggest blessing. Good luck out there ❤️

You act like speaking nicely to a narcissist will work…they don’t care about a golden bridge. They care about pain

There is NO WAY this works 😂 I have had these conversations with my mother “hey when you said that thing it made me feel hurt/guilty/whatever”. And the response is always making THEMSELVES the victim. “Oh I guess I’m just a terrible mother, I can’t win with you, you’re so selfish” etc.

He's applying this in scenarios as a coworker and interrogator, not someone who lives with or is related to the narcissist. Interpersonal relationships with a narcissist have to be treated very differently in most situations.

They always say “if you’re feeling guilty that is on you. There must be a reason for that…”

Do not argue with a narcissist. They feed off of it. Gray rock, stay calm and talk to them like a child.

While this technique works, it’s exhausting to always manage the conversation.

The true off switch is to stop reacting. Legit just sit there and look at them and watch them self destruct.✨

I feel like a smart narcissist would say “yeah of course I didn’t mean it that way I wonder what’s going on with you that you read it that way. Seems like maybe you have some issues.”
