Narcissists are not the easiest people to deal with. If you’re dealing with a narcissist, you may wonder how to scare them. Like everyone else, narcissists have fears; they just don’t like to admit it.
10 Ways to Scare a Narcissist Out of Your Life
Here are 10 ways to scare a narcissist out of your life:

A narcissist is someone who loves to be in the spotlight and often has a strong sense of self-importance. They are very confident in themselves and may even be charming at times. Narcissists thrive on attention and praise, so if they see you excelling, they will take it as a direct attack on their self-esteem. This can be particularly effective if you’ve been working hard at something they have also been trying to do but failing at.
