How to Deal With Narcissists

Is someone you live or work with exceptionally selfish and inconsiderate, though perhaps superficially charming and pleasant?

Are you always being put down, sidelined, blamed for problems and made to feel that everything is always your fault?

You may be dealing with a narcissist.

What is a narcissist?

Narcissistic people are exclusively and immovably focused:

• on themselves
• on what they 'deserve' in life
• on their status
• on their right to appreciation and attention from everyone else
• on their superiority to the rest of the world.

Other people only matter to the narcissist in as much as they:

• constantly make it plain that they recognize and admire the narcissist's importance and superiority in every respect, and
• are useful to them in some way.

Your failure to meet these requirements may lead to you being criticized, abused, bullied - or dumped.

The key to dealing with narcissistic behavior - understand your usefulness

The key factor is - are you useful to the particular narcissistic person you have to deal with?

You may wonder why someone who can be so horrid to you doesn't just get on and dump you.

But you can be sure that, if they are maintaining the relationship in spite of criticizing you to pieces, they are getting some benefit out of it. But if you are not, or are no longer, getting any benefit from this connection, it's time for action.

What can you do about narcissism?

Figuring out what action to take is not easy...

• Should you challenge their behavior?
• Should you attempt to negotiate new rules for the relationship?
• Should you admit that nothing can be done and quit?
• Should you just find a way to 'cope' with it?

Not only are these questions hard in themselves, but by the time you get to asking them, you may not be in a great state yourself.

This is because long association with a narcissist - be it a friend, a boss, a wife, a husband, a partner - will leave you emotionally bruised and battered, if not physically so. And that makes it difficult to think clearly and make good decisions.

So the first thing to do is not to worry about what you are going to do about them and focus instead on what you are going to do about you.

You need to rebuild your own confidence and self-esteem. You need to learn how to be relaxed and detached with the narcissistic behavior that comes your way, able to see that, however bad it is, it's not about you.

And how can you best do this?
