Next is the discerner, the person who has the ability to discern. It’s not easy for a narcissist to target someone with discernment. They’re not easy to manipulate, dupe, or deceive. In other words, where the narcissist is concerned, the person with discernment is going to be onto them quickly. Narcissists’ greatest fear is the threat of exposure, so anyone who can see through them, see through their nonsense for what it is, and isn’t willing to enable it, is going to be on the receiving end of some serious hate. This includes people who have healed from codependency and narcissistic abuse because, once healed and empowered, you become able to discern what’s what much more quickly, and therefore, you become a real threat to the narcissist. Since you’re not likely to be willing to participate in all their dysfunction and sick ways of showing up in the relationship, they don’t like that.
And last but certainly not least, we have the boundary setter. Narcissists dislike individuals who establish clear boundaries and aren’t afraid to enforce them. Why? Because boundaries limit their ability to manipulate and control, they won’t be able to exploit you when you set and maintain healthy boundaries. It threatens a narcissist’s sense of entitlement, so they’re likely to push back, attempting to breach those boundaries to maintain power, dominance, and control over you. When this happens, what you want to do is stand firm and prioritize your well-being by protecting yourself and your boundaries. Whatever you do, don’t waver. Not only will you lose all credibility if you do so, but it will also make it harder for you to maintain healthy limits and boundaries with the narcissists moving forward. Remember, you teach people how to treat you by standing firm.
and standing your ground, respecting yourself and your personal boundaries. The narcissist will eventually have to go elsewhere for a source of supply, and you’ll be left in peace. That’s the goal.
Now that we’ve covered the personalities narcissists don’t like, let’s shift our focus to some healing and recovery tips for those of you who are still struggling with narcissistic abuse. Here are seven recommendations that will help you navigate your way to a better place within yourself so you can break free from the abuse permanently.
