The smirk after they insult, hurt, one up, anger you. Just watch.
-
The scary thing I realized about this is - if our parents are narcissists, they don't test our boundaries. They create them. And uncreating them makes you a warrior.

After 25 years married to a covert narcissistic, all I can say is that I can smell them a mile away. My first two dates after my divorce was a guy who pulled the misplaced wallet stunt. The next would ask me an open ended question and every time I tried answer, he would cut me off and talk over me. I kicked both to the curb fast. I'm better off and happier alone.

The word “NO” is a complete sentence.
-
If I suspect a new friend/acquaintance is a narcissist, I will say something nice about someone else during our convo and see if they get visibly jealous and go silent. Kind, genuine people like to hear pleasant things about others, or at least don't get angry

Don’t be so quick to take someone to your home.
-
The problem is that we usually don't know what a narcissist is until it is too late.
-
Watch their face when they see you still shine after they put you through hell
-
You don't need to label them. If they're not treating you right, leave. Even if they're not a narcissist, leave.
-
When they see you are in distress and ask how you are feeling so they can tell you that your feelings are ridiculous.
-
When I go out with someone, I always drive separately and ask for separate checks. Then if he wants to pick mine up, fine, but if he says he doesn't have his wallet, I just say "That's too bad. I have enough to cover mine, but not both." Then I pay my bill, say "I'm sure you can work something out with the manager," and leave.

In other words, narcissists are energy vampires.
-
Best advice: Don't share your wins, your loses, or your dreams.
-
They push your boundaries, and punish you immediately if they cannot break you..
-
Learning to say no was the best thing I ever did for myself.
-
That mask falling is so obvious when they drop that smile. An instant switch in personality. Very creepy. This was super informative, structured, and helpful!
-
Wish I’d known this about 30 years ago before I married him.
-
Don't forget that people with adhd interrupt, but will usually be okay with boundaries, but be gentle as years worth of social failures under their belts
-
They hate the word 'no' or anything that sounds like it, and they reply to everything with 'I'm sorry you feel that way.'
