5. Respond, Do Not React.
If anything happens to be directed at you, remember to respond, do not react. The narcissist is going to try and push your buttons in all likelihood, hoping they can provoke you into a negative reaction that they can then use against you or try and make you look unstable or unbalanced.
Do not take the bait. Learn how to respond calmly and only as necessary, and do not under any circumstance react with emotion or disdain. This will only make things worse for you.

6. Always Have An Exit Strategy.
Think up some excuses that you could use to get out of there if and when anything goes south with the narcissist. Again, the goal should be to limit as much exposure as you have to the narcissist. So think of some different things you could use as an excuse to leave, and appropriate times that you could quickly and discreetly leave. It’s always important to have an exit strategy committed to memory.
7. If and When They Become Abusive, Leave.
Refuse to tolerate any abuse, and if they become emotionally or verbally abusive to you or anyone else, leave. Your safety and the safety of your immediate family is the most important thing. And flat-out abuse or narcissistic rage should not be tolerated, in my opinion. You should leave. No explanation is necessary.
