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 latelythis 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 againThen 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.
