Suffocating a narcissist.

How to suffocate a narcissist??

Give them attention once in a while and not at all at all the other times. Switch between these two inconsistently. This suffocates a narcissist to the core as a narc is always seeking your attention either by ignoring you so that you chase the narc or by bombarding you with attention-both positive and negative by triangulating, accusing, etc.

No constant attention means lack of supply of energy to the narcissist.

Although, don’t do it to a healthy minded person, lest you would seem to be a narcissist. Healthy minded people don’t give a fuck to people having this behaviour whereas a narcissist feels suffocated due to lack of attention.

PROs:

1. You are portraying as well as having freedom to give attention any time. You are not bound for that though.

2. You are playing a narc on a narc and giving a narcissist a taste of his own medicine.

3. You actually realize that it was you all along who was feeling bound in the narcissistic loop whereas you could anytime switch up on a narc just like he does.

4. You get time and energy to focus on other things more rather than dancing to the tunes of the narc.

5. You can ultimately get rid of a narc. A narc suffocated with no to least and irregular attention, that too, not on his whims and caprices, makes him run away (at least for a long time).

CONs:

1. Narc will accuse you of being a narc and create drama everywhere he could get sympathy against you.
2. Narc will go mad and may abuse you as well to get that negative attention that he is desperately seeking.
3. Narc will use all of his tactics like gaslighting, blame-game, triangulation, pity-party, love-bombing, against you to bring you back to that narc-puppet, narc-supply loop.
4. If the other person is not a narc, you may prove to be a narc. So, be careful and first of all be very sure that that person is a pathological narc. Do not jump to conclusions based on assumptions and on few subtle signs only.

Be Careful:

Narc will do DRAMA, manipulation, accusations, TRIANGULATION, name-calling, whenever n wherever he could. Let him be. Enjoy the show of what we call in psychology ‘Monkey Dance’.
