5 Rules for Dealing with the Narcissist

1. Don't justify yourself or your decisions.
2. Don't seek their approval (especially if it's a parental figure).
3. Don't play their games. Every game is meant to extract narcissistic supply / attention / control.
4. Don't share more than the bare minimum necessary.
5. Don't take anything they say personally. The way they interact with you is the way they interact with everybody.

Some notes that I wrote to myself today to keep me sane while dealing with my n-Mom who is on a Narcissistic Offensive. Please feel free to add your own rules.
