Such people always want to prove themselves right and ignore the feelings of others. Therefore, it's difficult to talk to them. Furthermore, it's difficult to understand how to respond to them in their own language. Let's learn how to recognize (Narcissist Personality Signs) whether you're talking to a narcissist and how to respond.

How to recognize if you're talking to a narcissist?
They deny every mistake - Narcissists never admit their mistakes. If you interrupt them, they'll immediately say, "You're exaggerating" or "That didn't happen." They often try to deflect, even denying events that actually happened. The goal is to confuse you and make you doubt yourself.

Demeaning the other person - When they feel exposed, they attack the other person. They may call you "crazy," "drama queen," or "always fighting." They use this to erode your confidence and protect themselves. Sometimes, they try to belittle you by bringing up your past mistakes.

They portray themselves as victims - Narcissists often try to deflect attention from their own mistakes by portraying themselves as "poor" to themselves. They'll say you misunderstood them or treated them badly. This leaves you preoccupied with defending yourself from being proven wrong, and the real issue is lost.

They belittle your feelings - If you express sadness or anger, they'll say, "You're too sensitive" or "Why are you getting upset over such a small thing?" By belittling your feelings, they make you doubt yourself. Gradually, you start to think that perhaps the fault lies with you.

They blame their own mistakes on you - Narcissists often blame others for their own actions. If they lie, they'll say you're the liar. If they're cheating, they'll suspect you.

They make fun of taunts - Sometimes they disguise hurtful comments as a joke. For example, "Work a little harder, or you'll get tired." And when you interrupt them, they'll say, "Hey, I was just joking."
So how do you respond?

The most important thing is to stay calm and avoid arguing with them. Trying to argue with a narcissist is often futile, as they'll try to prove themselves right no matter what. So set boundaries and keep interactions with them to a minimum.
