Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Fencing Off People Who aren't Good for You

Is someone in your life a narcissist? It could be a co-worker, a boss or even your significant other.

Dealing with a narcissist is an interesting exercise in dodging and weaving and keeping your head down. In the beginning they’re charming and very adept at making you feel valuable and valued. As time goes on and they feel secure in your trust of them, glimmers of true colors start peeking through. They have to be right – they’re not coachable – they don’t care about you, just about how you can further their own agenda – and when they feel cornered or caught, no one gets angrier than a narcissist trying to argue or yell or even hit their way out of owning up to what they did.

The first rule of dealing with a narcissist is to know your boundaries, set them and defend them. The narcissist won’t respect your boundaries, which is one of the ways they’ll confirm your assessment of them.

Stand up for yourself, and if that means moving on from your job or your partner, do it. Don’t blame yourself or try to understand or change them – move on. It’s how you remind yourself that you have value and deserve to be happy.
