9. I just want you to know how I feel.
Behind every aggressive behavior is a primal fear, and narcissists are afraid. In fact, they are so afraid that they need to manipulate the world around them to feel safe. And if one thing is out of their control, they get angry and make use of their manipulative techniques to get back on top. Therefore, their passive-aggressive manipulation comes from a fear of losing control.
That is why it is necessary for the empath to always state their intention before getting into an argument or making a point. If you start by telling your partner that all you are looking for is to be heard and for them to know how you feel, they will stop showering you with narcissistic abuse. Instead, there’s a high chance you’ll get a moment of active listening from them since they know that you mean no harm.

10. Everything is okay!
This phrase will disarm the most commonly used method of narcissistic abuse, conditioning empaths to think that they are less valuable without them. Empaths usually rely on other people’s input to determine their value. That habit leaves the narcissist in charge of deciding if there’s something wrong with the relationship.
Letting your partner know that everything will be okay will automatically calm them down and bring the argument to a peaceful turn. Your self-centered partner will see that even in their worst moods, you still believe in your relationship and that you are confident about where you stand.
Now that you know how to deal with a narcissist and their manipulation, we hope you can take back your power in order to live fully and freely.
