What to do with the Narcissist in your life?
All of us are susceptible to run into a narcissist at one time or another on our journey through life. How do we avoid becoming the narcissist’s target? What are some steps we can take to protect ourselves from them?
To better understand narcissism, it is defined as an admiration of oneself or one’s physical appearance. The psychology definition is: selfishness, involving a sense of entitlement, a lack of empathy and a need for admiration as characterizing a personality type. This second definition gives us more insight into narcissism. Too much focus on one’s self can become like a disease. Some of the narcissistic symptoms of this disease are: *Grandiosity *Need for constant praise and admiration *Sense of entitlement *Exploiting others without guilt and demeaning belittling or bullying others.
It is easy for us to assume that the narcissist is only about themselves. But this is not true. They get their supply of energy from their victims. Those of us who are susceptible to their advances.
How does the victim become a narcissist supply? When they come in contact with the narcissist and pursue relationship with the narcissist. This is where victim starts to misconstrued perceptions of themselves and become a lower identity version of themselves due to the narcissist subtle influence. The victim allows the narcissist to infest by believing the lies they give. It is very easy to get ensnared by the narcissists without realizing what’s going on. Once the narcissist latch on to you as an energy source, you begin to feed energy to them, and become a place where they can foster this disease by going along with them and enabling them.
To stay outside a narcissist control, you will need to take steps to do this. If you are married to a narcissist and have to stay in the relationship with them then there are some precautions you can take.
1. Go out and create your own world. Aside from the narcissist. A narcissist likes to dis-empower you and slowly by slowly they deplete you and remove you from your original self and from your world to gain control of you.
2. Hold onto and remember who you are as a person. Having your own intact and high identity helps you build a shield against the narcissist. Choose carefully what is spoken over you and disapprove anything that seems out of alignment of your character. Narcissists are very sneaky. They will try to get you to believe in a lesser version of yourself in an effort to break you down and keep you under their control. If the narcissist speaks over you to limit you, do not take to heart anything they have to say.
3. Give none of your life force energy to the narcissist. Especially if they do something that does not please you. Giving them energy keeps them going. Consider the narcissist as the diseased and the disease thrives on taking others energy and mutilating it. Any energy you give to the narcissist will deplete you and keep them in the power seat. So do your best to reserve your life force energy for yourself and those you love.
These are just a few steps to coping with the narcissist in your life. If you do not remove the narcissist from your life you are at risk to become like them. Always choose freedom first.
