Narcissistic relationships
A client of mine found this on a blog called 'My Narcissistic Mother'
Rule #1: Never try and reason with a narcissist because they are unreasonable.
Rule #2: You are wrong, the narcissist is right. Get over it.
Rule #3: Narcissists don't get 'hurt feelings' they get 'devastated', and it's all your fault.
Rule #4: You are an extension of the narcissists person; you are an OBJECT.
Rule #5: You are still wrong.
My input to this is that there are a couple of ways to cope with this. First acknowledge that you will never get your point across, second, do not try to argue because you will lose, third, do not try to improve your relationship anymore then you already have because you will not be able to. If all else fails and the relationship has become toxic to you to the point of getting physical ailments when you have contact with the person then cut off all contact. If you have questions about your relationship with a narcissist then contact me through www.brighterdays4you.com.
