We can’t always end a relationship with a narcissist. What to do in this case? What are the tips for living with this type of people?

Sometimes leaving a narcissistic person isn’t an option. A parent may recognize that their adult child is narcissistic but desperately want to maintain a basic relationship. A spouse may be unwilling to leave their narcissistic partner for several reasons such as money, commitment, or (dare I say) love. A child may realize that their parent is a narcissistic person but be unwilling or unable to cut them out of their life. And many other reasons…

So how can a person learn to live with selfishness , arrogance, superiority, every day without losing his mind? How do you tolerate the narcissist using bullying to control, bullying to persuade, silence to avoid intimacy, anger to hide insecurities, and gifts to show love?

It is possible and here are some suggestions:

1. Study the person. None of the following tips will work unless a person wants to get out of the relationship and study the narcissistic person . This is key to gaining more information, learning to emotionally detach, and resetting old habitual arguments. When a person is able to analyze and systematize narcissistic behavior impartially, it brings clarity of thought and restores emotional balance.
