Number 3: “Let it go.”
Narcissists aren’t the ones who back down on any arguments or competitions, they just can’t let it go for the sake of their pride. It’s a part of who they are and what they do and they must win at all costs, even when the stakes are low.

Narcissists still feel like a failure and that their whole world has fallen apart. When you tell them this, it will probably put on an act to make it seem as if they are not bothered by your comment. But deep down inside, narcissists will be crushed, which can develop into insecurity and rage.
