Although it may not seem like it, every narcissist has weaknesses. One of them is attention. The moment they are ignored and their words are not taken into account, their imaginary pedestal is of little use to them.
Knowing the weak points of a narcissist can help us defend ourselves. Also to know a little better about the psychological anatomy of these very common figures in our society. Publius Syro said that he who lives only for himself in the end allows himself to exist for others. However, until that moment comes, his selfishness and bad practices leave marks.
It is not easy to let go or get away from this type of personality. Narcissists live in our family and also in any work setting.. I wish it were as simple as looking elsewhere, like thinking that they are not there and thus being able to allow ourselves some peace of mind. However, their presence is always noticeable, because that is what they want: attention, power, influence.
Knowing that in these figures there are dimensions that are their Achilles heel can help us. We analyze it.
A narcissist can be confronted from different sides. Although we think that the best strategy is to distance ourselves, when this is not possible there are strategies that can serve as a lifesaver.
What are the weak points of a narcissist?
To begin with, it is important to take into account one detail: there are different types of narcissists. There are people with some nuances, certain traits and associated behaviors and there are those who already clearly show a clinical condition.
It is estimated that narcissistic personality disorder has a prevalence of 1%, although in recent years, it has been diagnosed more frequently.
Likewise, research works such as those carried out at the University of Warsaw tell us that There are two ways to classify them: there are the great ones and the vulnerable ones. Knowing this is also important when dealing with them.
The first (grandiose) are more aggressive, therefore you have to be more cautious. The second (vulnerable narcissists) usually resort to victimhood and have a much more fragile self-esteem. In this way, although there are different types of this profile, it will be very useful for us to know the weak points of a narcissist to decide which one to apply to each person.
1. “I don’t believe you.” The power of invalidation
“I don’t believe you. Give me proof of that. “I don’t think it’s true that you’ve done so many things in life.” If there is something that a narcissist does not tolerate, accept and accept, it is being invalidated. One of their greatest needs is to dazzle and nourish themselves with the admiration of others. In this way, something like showing indifference can always be the best thing to do.
On the other hand, contradicting what they say is also an appropriate resource. Although in the latter case, we must be careful with “grandiose narcissists.”
2. “Your behavior doesn’t make sense.” The inability to self-analysis
A very obvious weakness of the narcissist is his inability for self-reflection and self-analysis. They are incapable of looking inside to understand themselves, to deepen themselves..
They are usually full of defense mechanisms to not accept their multiple insecurities. Inviting them to tell us the reason why they do this and that is another way of invalidating them.
3. “You don’t have my support.” The pain of receiving a “no”
Among the weak points of a narcissist is the pain of receiving a “no.” We have already seen that if there is something they need, it is to be the center of attention, to be respected, admired, to be followed and given power over us.
Using the word “no” whenever possible will allow us not only to set limits. In this way, we can take them down from their pedestal.
Narcissists need to be the sun in the middle of the universe and the candle on every birthday and to do so, they seek to reaffirm themselves through excessive behavior and falsehoods. Setting limits whenever possible, ignoring them and even disavowing them is a good resource to deal with them.
4. “I think deep down, you feel very alone. And I’am sorry for you”. The inability to feel vulnerable
This is a simple and effective strategy for handling a narcissist. The University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy) carried out research that can help us understand the importance of self-esteem in this personality. Although it is always assumed that this profile shows this psychological dimension in an inflated and disproportionate way, in reality, it could be quite the opposite.
Among the weak points of a narcissist is his self-esteem. It is usually quite low. This causes them to develop multiple defenses to build a shining armor to protect themselves under. That way, if there is something they cannot tolerate, it is accepting their vulnerability.
Something as simple as telling them that we feel sorry for them, for how they are and how they push people away from them, will force them to face their Achilles heel again.
5. Weak points of a narcissist: the fear of being alone
This would be not only one of the biggest weaknesses of a narcissist, but also their capital fear: loneliness. A narcissist needs victims to be someone. It is like the predator that moves looking for prey to feed on. Without them, he will die of hunger and loneliness as he has no one to support his ego.
With the narcissistic personality, face-to-face confrontations or discussions are not worth it. Always win. When it comes to surviving in those scenarios where they move and cohabit with us, it is better to know their weak points. Isolating them, disavowing them, not giving them attention and making them see that their actions have consequences and that they will end up alone is an effective strategy.
In conclusion. It is necessary to assume that, whether we like it or not, This profile will always subsist in our “social ecosystems”. It is crucial to know how to identify them and set limits to escape their influence. As is also establishing the correct foundations of upbringing and education so that this personality that is so harmful to others – and also to themselves – does not proliferate.
