How to Work With a Narcissist

They’re not sitting at coffee shops writing manifestos on napkins in an illegible scrawl, shouting about aliens. They are often charming, talented, attractive people who have a natural allure to them.

They can be great motivators and group leaders, with a flair for inspiring others. ...until they lose interest or something doesn’t go their way. To cope…

Manage your own ego and your expectations!

Manage your need to win, to prove yourself right.

Recognize you may walk away feeling crazy, as narcissists are expert argument manipulators and logic twisters.

Pick your battles.

Seeking an apology is a fruitless endeavor. Don’t expect them to come around to your point of view when in conflict with them. Learn how to heal yourself.
