“Narcissistic people are always struggling with the fact that the rest of the world doesn’t revolve around them.”—Unknown
“Some narcissistic people end up believing their own lies.”—Unknown
“A narcissist paints a picture of themselves as being the victim or innocent in all aspects. They will be offended by the truth. But what is done in the dark will come to light. Time has a way of showing people’s true colors.”—Karla Grimes
If you are dealing with a narcissist, be conscious of the constant need to manipulate. A narcissist wants to redirect blame for their own wrong doing to others, thus making themselves look victimized. Try to avoid the Narcissistic Vortex. You must remember, this vortex is a trap. By replying, it feeds the narcissistic supply — a.k.a, their false sense of self that they are better than you (or anyone else for that matter). What they crave is a reaction.
The true secret to engaging with a narcissist is little to no response.
