3. Don’t take responsibility for their emotions
This is a road. You do not want to start heading down. If the narcissist is annoyed, just let them sit there and be annoyed. They are going to want to try and shift blame for their negative emotions onto someone else, and that’s likely to be you.
And if you start accepting this, the behavior is only going to increase and get worse and worse in the future, and it’s really going to drag you down. Literally, leave them to themselves and they will likely get over it, whatever it is on their own.
4. Avoid using ultimatums
Ultimatums aren’t exactly healthy in any relationship. They use it as a form of control, which is why narcissists themselves may use these often.
But, using ultimatums against them, would suggest this type of behavior is okay, and they may use them more in the future with you, creating a bigger vicious cycle. Remember tip number one, don’t sink to their level.
