Number 3: Complimenting or flattering them.
Flattery can be useful against Narcissists. But it is most effective when you are someone that the Narcissist is still trying to impress. If not and you are already at a point where they are taking you for granted, flattery will not work. Your words have no value or weight to the Narcissist at this point. So, flattering them, or being complimentative of them to appease them or lighten the mood will not have the desired effect.
Number 4: Pleading with them to change their ways.
Your request will only be ignored because in the mind of the Narcissist whatever they do is fine; If anyone needs changing it is, you. It would help if you stopped nagging them. You are the one who needs to lighten up and give them a break.
You are the one who needs to stop complaining etc. But the narcissists will not be moved to change their ways to appease you. Narcissists do not live to bring happiness to anyone but themselves. So, you having an issue with them is your problem.
