3 Words After A Narcissist Turns On You

They shy away from personal vulnerabilities, whether it’s from you or within themselves.

They are extremely sensitive to criticism—they can dish it out but can’t handle receiving it.

You discover that their past relationships have also ended poorly.

They have a long-standing need for control, always wanting the last word in disagreements.

They can be stubborn, often showing passive-aggressive behavior when confronted.

Their insincerity becomes evident; what seemed friendly was just a part of their manipulation.

They keep score, measuring the usefulness of others.

You recognize how deeply rooted their anger is; they hold onto annoyance.

Additionally, once they fully unleash their disdain toward you, some familiar patterns appear. They cling to self-serving narratives about your good traits. You’re now labeled as the insincere one. Their anger and contrarian attitude come out openly for everyone to see. They may even launch smear campaigns against you or threaten to bring you down in some way.

All this can leave you feeling stunned. You might look back and remember how you at least had some decent interactions with that person before it all exploded. Your instinct will likely be to defend yourself; however, once you find yourself on the narcissist’s radar, all logic seems to vanish. You may attempt to point out the inconsistencies in their arguments, only to have them turn your words against you.

So, what can you do? How can you stand up to such arrogance? Because the narcissist usually lacks humility or a desire to mend things, you’ll need to liberate yourself from their bitterness. Instead of trying to change someone who refuses to change, you’ll want to accept the reality that they’re too troubled to maintain positivity in your relationship.

Your healing journey can begin by holding onto three simple words: So be it. For example:

You see me as the insincere individual in this relationship. So be it.

It seems you’ve been harboring resentments toward me for quite some time. So be it.

With your aggressive dismissal of me, you’ve positioned yourself as The Victim. So be it.

You will never again recognize my positive qualities. So be it.

If forgiveness is even an option, it’s completely off the table now. So be it.

You refuse to acknowledge your role in our strained relationship. So be it.

Owning up to faults or mistakes isn’t something you’ll consider. So be it.

You’ll keep spreading negativity about me to others. So be it.

You won’t admit how you consistently ruin other relationships. So be it.

You genuinely see yourself as superior to me. So be it.

While your anger is tied to your own issues, you wrongly blame me for your bitterness. So be it.
