How to destroy a narcissist

08/08/2019

I was once asked, "How can I destroy the narcissist in my life?"

My answer?  There is no need and doing so would only make you like the person you want to destroy.  

What many people don’t realise, and even to a large extent the narcissist him or herself doesn’t realise, is that they have already been destroyed.  It is my strong belief that human beings are not born with such destructive personality traits.  We are all a mix of nature, nurture, and life events. 

The destructive behaviours of the narcissist are, in the end, protective mechanisms that have been put in place to survive what was otherwise psychologically not survivable for that person.  Yes, overall very poorly adapted mechanisms, but sufficiently well adapted in order for the person to survive. 

You don’t need to destroy the narcissist in your life.  That work was done long ago. 

 

Your best bet when dealing with this type of behaviour is to distance yourself.  When distance isn’t possible, it’s important to learn to have strict boundaries in order to not let them take advantage of you. 

 

And then go about living your best life.
