How to have boundaries with a narcissist

  • Summary

  • This is all an inside job.

    The thing to hold in mind is that a boundary requires YOU to uphold and execute the consequences to, but does not mean that the other person has to adhere to them.

    With a narcissist, having a boundary can feel like an impossible task because any boundary you express is also you admitting you are worthy of having your needs met, disrupting their pre-exiting concept of relational dynamics involving a heirarchy.

    Your boundaries might be rejectected in the form of gaslighting or blackmail.

    And so you do not negotiate the boundary.

    You need to remain secure and self-assured in your own needs, prioritise these, and recognise that the rejection is a lesson you are learning about them.
