In dealing with a narcissist, it can be useful to understand the dynamics of power and how it affects their behavior and your relationship with them. If you hold a position of authority, such as being a judge in a case, a boss, a CEO, or a leader in a group, the narcissist is more likely to respect you because they recognize your power over them. This recognition of power can help you establish rapport and build trust with the narcissist, which can be key in managing conflicts and building a positive working or personal relationship. By understanding the ways in which power dynamics influence the behavior of a narcissist, you can position yourself in a more favorable light and gain their respect and cooperation.
#5. Let them believe that you’re not onto them.
Dealing with a narcissistic person can be a herculean task since they are seldom amenable to constructive feedback. One possible approach that can be used is to make the narcissist believe that you are not yet aware of their true identity. However, once they perceive that you have seen through their façade and have labeled them as a narcissist, things can take a turn for the worse. Narcissistic people tend to view the world in a binary fashion, where they create a rigid boundary between loyalty and opposition. You’re either with them or against them. Therefore, it is crucial to tread cautiously when dealing with a narcissist and approach the situation delicately.
#6. Show Your Value.
If you’re dealing with a narcissist and you want to earn their respect, one surefire way is to show them that they need you. This could mean that you demonstrate your value to them in some way, whether it’s by providing financial support, social status, or any other form of validation that the narcissist craves. By consistently proving that you add value to their lives, they’ll fear losing you, and in turn, they’ll respect you. Remember, the key to success is consistently reminding the narcissist of your importance in their life.
#7. Be friends with people they respect.
