7. “Goodbye.”
This is the ultimate way to destroy a narcissist. See, they need narcissistic supply to function like a vampire needs blood and darkness to live. If you’re one of their sources of narcissistic supply, they cannot stand the idea of not having you around to dump their emotional garbage on, not to mention giving them the attention, praise, and admiration that they so desperately need. If you say goodbye and you leave, and then you go no contact and stick with it, they will at least temporarily be destroyed. Of course, they’ll also use narcissistic injury here as a way to gain attention from other people and often to find a new source of supply. They play the poor me game, they engage in various smear campaigns about you with anyone who will listen.

But if you hold out and you use the grey rock method, as in don’t react emotionally, or you just remain fully no contact and don’t react at all, they’ll eventually move on and stop torturing you. As difficult as this can feel, it is ultimately the best outcome of a relationship with a toxic narcissist.
But the bottom line is, remember that in the end, while you can certainly destroy a narcissist using words such as the ones I shared today, the very best revenge you could get on any narcissist truly is to simply live your life well without them. To find true happiness and peace in your life despite the fact that they exist. Not only with learning that you’re happy without them and living like they don’t exist, destroy a narcissist, but it would make them feel like you’ve kind of won the relationship. Not that you need a trophy like that, but you do deserve to be happy and not live in fear of triggering the next episode of narcissistic rage or injury. No one should have to live like this. Walking on eggshells is both difficult and painful, and they can change you in some very profound ways.
