Part 1/2
narcissists hate when they are exposed for who they really are.
narcissism is almost always rooted in insecurity. You can try to "tease" them, act like you fell for their trap just to reverse it. for example if you know your narcissist gf is cheating on you:
>hey i feel you've not been honest with me lately
this makes her raise her awareness, she starts to be afraid that you know what she's been up to
>...but I know this is probably just me being paranoid again
Then she feels relieved that she has tricked you again and you fell for it.
>despite this, I think I know what you've been doing to our relationship.
And again she's scared of being exposed. It really fucks with their head and makes them question their abilities to manipulate you. It's like that abused kid stands up against his alcoholic father for the first time and beats the fuck out of him. The next time the father will question himself if he want's to engage in conflict again, and will likely give up because narcissists hate any sort of pushback.They love to surround themselves with people-pleasers, that can't say no and will come back no matter what they do.

I had a narcissistic friend, really fucked with my head for years before I finally detached myself from him. He was laughing at me when I started talking to the girl I like. He said that I shouldn't even try because no girl will ever want me. He didn't want me to start working out, while he was working out himself.
Of course, I did it anyways, told him to shut the fuck up. Turns out he was deeply insecure about his height and didn't want me to get a gf before he does, so he tried to destroy my self-esteem. He couldn't keep a constant workout schedule and was afraid I will surpass him in the gym, which I eventually did.
Even after I got a gf he still tried to induce these these doubts in me, how my gf is probably a whore anyways or how I most likely manipulated her into being with me.

He also said that I'm probably a cuck that does everything she wants me to or that she's with me out of pity because of how worthless I am. All of these things are obviously not true, but it just shows how far narcissists can go just to make you dependent on them and not let you improve your situation. There are many more examples like these but there's no use in describing them.

One day I decided to just stop replying to his messages, ignore him IRL and live a life on my own. Oh it took him too long to realise I won't even talk to him again. As you might have guessed, he also tried to turn this situation around like I'm at fault.

Now, 3 years later, I am in a happy relationship, with a stable job and a good physique, whereas he is single, lost most of his muscle and still consciously surrounds himself with people dumber than him that he can manipulate to give him constant validation.

Idk if my story helped, you didn't really explain your situation, but maybe you can get some tidbits of advice from my post.

This.
They're parasitic people that rely on reactions, drama, and any submissive behavior like tolerance and kindness. When you ignore them, it drives them crazy because they lose power over you.

Constantly disaffirm the image they are trying to project. They will probably try to kill you and ruin your life
