By the end of this article, you’re going to know exactly how to make a narcissist respect you forever. So be sure you read until the end of the article because this one is going to be a game-changer for you. So let’s talk about how to make a narcissist respect you.
Now, the harsh reality is that people who land on the spectrum of destructive narcissism aren’t actually capable of genuine functional respect. Even when they’re temporarily holding you in high regard, like, for example, at the beginning of the relationship, that so-called high regard will be laced with a spirit of envy, competition, and an underlying contempt.
