“I don’t see myself that way”
Usually, narcissists try to make themselves feel better by making you think negatively about yourself.
When handling narcissistic behavior, you must stay firm in what you think is true.
“I think we got off track somehow”
Using “we” language diverts the blame to both of you. If there’s one thing narcissists can’t stand, it’s being accused of something, even if it’s justified.
By lumping yourself in with their behavior, they’re much more likely to be open to talking things through calmly.
You can also try handling narcissistic behavior by saying: “I think there’s been a miscommunication. Let’s try again.”
