Number 6: Insisting that the Narcissist takes responsibility for their actions.
Unless your objective is to get them to leave you alone or disappear altogether there is no point trying to get the Narcissist to take responsibility. The Narcissist is likely to become very angry and will either lash out at you or get away from you. Because nothing can ever be their fault. In the mind of the Narcissist, they are blameless. That is why they always deny or try to justify their actions.
Taking accountability simply does not compute. So, what does work with Narcissists? The truth is the best thing you can do is to leave the Narcissist alone. Do not seek their validation or acceptance. Do not ask any favors of them. Do not tell them your business. Avoid them, ignore them, or cut them off completely.
But above all, we have to accept that Narcissistic individuals are aware of their behaviors but they do not want to change. So, the best thing you can do for yourself is have a life outside the Narcissist’s reach or influence because they do not care about you. They do not care if their choices make you unhappy. Narcissists believe you should just put up with it.
But to conclude it is best not to spend any time trying to get a Narcissist to change their ways, treat you better, or take accountability for anything. So, if you are doing any of the things, I talked about today just know it will be for nothing. Because Narcissists are self-serving creatures. Everything they do is for their benefit alone. They do not care about your peace and happiness. And although they do need people, it does not mean they will appreciate, love or ever care for anyone.
