Narcissism can be toxic. These selfish people can cause a lot of damage if they’re someone special in your life. Here are some mannerisms to look out for and tips on how to deal with their behavior:
They’re always right
This habit might get under your skin, but you have to understand where their behavior is coming from. Narcissists makes themselves feel more secure by putting others down.
They blame everyone but themselves
Don’t let yourself get too upset over this type of behavior. Taking the blame is even tougher for narcissists because of how they view themselves compared to others. So instead of getting angry, try paying less attention to their clamoring statements.
They spin the story to make themselves look good
As exaggerated as their story may sound, try joking about how ridiculous they’re being. It’s important not to be cruel or hurtful in doing so, but adding humor may lighten the mood.
They are unwilling to listen to your thoughts
They’re determined to be right, so of course they will refuse to hear other opinions. Try to keep calm because showing any sign of pain or irritation may encourage their rude behavior.
