How do you stay calm around a narcissist?

“Thank you for sharing that with me.”

“Noted.”

“Okay.”

“I understand.”

“I see this is important to you.”

“Thanks for sharing.”

“Good to know.”

“Mmhmm.”

“I hear you speaking.”

Just start practicing generic phrases that don’t provide an emotional reaction. Don’t justify your short responses. Don’t try to explain or answer anything. Just acknowledge they’ve spoken and wait to see what they do next. You are stronger then them. What they say is more projection than reality. Even if what they say is true and hurtful, it’s not helpful and you don’t have to accept what they say. Also reading on your phone and walking g away to a different room or even just literally turning away from them. You have the right to do all that. You also have the right to silence. When it doubt just look at her and smile. Say nothing. You got this.
