“That doesn’t work for me”

Narcissists might attempt to make decisions for you without consulting you first.

When handling narcissistic behavior, it’s essential to stand up for yourself and tell them if you’re not okay with what they’ve decided.

“You might be right”

A neutral statement can disarm someone emotionally. When talking with a narcissist, avoid making arguments for or against what they say is best.

Instead, say something non-committal that’s just enough to subdue them. Hopefully, your lack of a comeback will be enough to get them to move on.

Another thing you can say is, “That’s an interesting point.”
