Different Ways That We Cope With Difficult People

- Fleeing or avoiding the situation
- Giving in or surrendering to the threat
Why is it so Hard to Deal with a Narcissist?
- What’s with me?
- Am I simply a masochist?
- How can I allow myself to be so fooled?
- Why can’t I speak up and tell him/her to…?
The Danger of the Narcissist’s Charm
- Their wit can be hypnotizing
- They’re very clever and encourage you to be forgiving when he or she is out of line
If a narcissist is in your personal life, you may be attracted because of this characteristic.

- Remember that we need to protect ourselves from the narcissist’s charm in order to get out of their dangerous web.
