Narcissists are not normal in that sense, and that’s actually a weakness on your part. And the answer is, well, it is when it inhibits you from being able to accept the truth that they place right there in front of you. Let’s keep in mind, every single person has the freedom to choose between good and not good. Guess which direction the narcissist has chosen. They try to portray themselves often as good, but they’ve decided, “I’ll let my dark traits come over me. I don’t really care.” And so, no matter how strongly you wish for the relationship to differ, keep in mind the narcissist is not interested. Part of the definition of narcissism is, it’s all about me, it’s raw selfishness.
So, let’s go back to our original premise: narcissists want to have power over you. Short-term, maybe they can win in defeating you, but ultimately, I’m hoping you can decide, “I’m not handing over my power to this individual. I’m not going to play along, and I’m not going to do these kinds of things that I’ve mentioned here in this article. I’m not going to do it in such a way where I wind up being held captive by them. I’m free too, and I’m going to focus on love and goodness and decency and respect. And when it becomes quite clear that the narcissist is not capable of joining with me with that, then, rather than saying, ‘Well, I’ve got to get them over on my team,’ they’re not going to be on my team. But I’m going to go ahead and be on Team Healthy. I stand for dignity, respect, and civility. That’s when you take your power back by not trying to overpower.
