4. “I Agree to Disagree”
If the narcissist tries to make you feel like your reality isn’t valid without their approval, resist the urge to over-explain. Simply say, “I agree to disagree,” or “I choose to see things differently.” They’ll be shocked because they’ve conditioned you to believe you need their agreement. This response breaks their manipulative hold over you.
5. “Thank You for Your Input”
When the narcissist invalidates your reality or tries to make you feel like you need their approval to believe in your thoughts, say, “Thank you for your input,” and move on. You don’t need their agreement to hold onto your truth.
6. “I Just Wanted You to Know How I Feel”
If the narcissist shifts blame or refuses to engage with your point, simply respond, “Well, I just wanted you to know how I feel.” You don’t need to make them see your perspective; you just need to express yourself. Say it and move on.
