How to disarm a narcissist: The Bases

Teasing a narcissist to disarm him is like waving a red cloth in front of a bull: it will infuriate him.

The best way to achieve this is to behave exactly like him by adopting narcissistic behavior, but what?

  • The first is to stop paying attention to him, just like he does when he wants to drive you crazy. Not being your constant thought and not being able to fill your days with his amazing false stories and his manipulative games will certainly disarm him.
  • Another technique that you can use is, in his presence, not give him the right attention. Be disinterested in his words, hardly listen to him, act as if anything, even the chirping of birds outside your window, can catch your attention more than his words.
  • You can also try to belittle his words, especially if you are in a group. By doing so, it will be a walk to disarm the narcissist. Say you don’t believe what he’s saying, maybe bring proof of it. Ruining his science fiction stories by making him clash with reality and showing it to everyone for what it really is will be the thing that will bring him down most of all.
