#1 Start Owning Your Truth<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\nIf you can learn how to own your truth then, what can I say\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are a narcissist repellent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unbottled and unable to purchase in-store, you can keep narcissists at bay simply by standing firm in your reality and refusing to let anybody take it away from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those uncertain or unsure moments can be gone if you look closely at why they\u2019re being taken from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More importantly – who <\/em>is taking them from you. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe reason the narcissist has a grip on you is because they take what you think or believe, and turn it into some kind of problem for you. Whether that be how you perceive something, or how good you actually might be <\/em>at something – they can take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNot only can they take it, they can change <\/em>it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhich changes you. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe grip here is strong because you subconsciously, over time, surrender yourself to the narcissist and fall into their powerful grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In owning your truth and standing by what you believe, the narcissist cannot do this successfully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#2 Stop <\/em><\/strong>Falling For The Charm!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe charm of a narcissist is a little like a honey trap. They lure you in purposely so that you end up falling for their every word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I sometimes refer to the charm of a narcissist as charming a snake. You\u2019re almost hypnotized by the song they\u2019re singing to you, and nothing around you can penetrate your stare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No – it isn\u2019t supposed to be this way. Releasing yourself from that involves foreseeing the charm and not buying it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is <\/em>that easy, and it almost creates an eye roll every time they come to you with a new, grandiose story or item they\u2019ve just purchased. They want your attention and want to impress you.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThat grip means they\u2019ve captivated you and can start molding and shaping you as they see fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid the charm – avoid the mold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3 Boundaries – Be Okay With Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOh boy. If you\u2019re going to release yourself from that controlling narcissistic grip, you\u2019ve got <\/em>to set those boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow, I fully understand the difficulty of going from submissive to assertive, but you can do it. Start small. No means no, yes means yes, and you can even apply consequences to breaking those boundaries moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I told you I wouldn\u2019t engage further with you if you brought that up again, so this is me walking away from this conversation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nI know it\u2019s a huge change to start to apply any boundary suddenly, and the narcissist will <\/em>fight back. Their ego won\u2019t believe your attempt to protect yourself, because they will feel entitled to owning every part of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis doesn\u2019t mean you bow down and admit defeat. The grip will <\/em>loosen when they realize they can no longer control you as they once did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n#4 Dump The Enablers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThey\u2019ve got <\/em>to go. It\u2019s painful\u2014you may have once been pretty close with some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEnablers, however, will only continue to make you feel bad about yourself. If you speak up against the narcissist, they will find ways to defend themselves. If you appear more assertive, you\u2019ll likely be accused of being petulant or behaving unnecessarily.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In truth, having enablers in your life is unnecessary, and if you lose them, the narcissist loses some of their power. After all – who will they use to fight their battles for them now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will also give you the chance to meet new <\/em>people, make new friends, and create a fresh, perhaps smaller circle away from the narcissist. As much as they will hate that, they can\u2019t do anything about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTheir grip has <\/em>to loosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
