Yeh I wrote this because sometimes it’s not possible to go no contact. Or you still want some contact. Narcissists CAN be pleasant at times. Especially if you learn how to manage them better.

I appreciate this insight as I have a narcissistic mother and most just give me the advice that you can’t be in a relationship with one, that the only solution is to cut off all contact.

I know nothing about you. You’ve told me so many lies about losing your job, and any boss of a regular job would have definitely fired you. There’s shit I want to know about you and I’ve wanted to ask but you stay high asf all the time! Or was that another lie? What kind of magazine salesman can hack a damn phone? It’s got me thinking your job is in sales just not magazines. Wtfever. I’m taking a fucking charge and keeping your name out of it. I’ll keep reading this stuff because I thought I was just empathetic. Now I’ll think about it. And I know the paper was in my music box, idk wtf you would take it. No relationship will ever work with drugs involved.

Totally agree Trisha. Some people don’t have much choice but to have a narcissist in their life. So they’ve got to make the best out of it. But if there’s a choice, then yes I would say it should be seriously questioned whether it’s worth it.

But for any kind of relationship that depends on some reciprocity, such as a friend or a significant other, then no. It would be more trouble than it’s worth for me. It wouldn’t be long for me to take time to myself, as per your advice, and simply never return. Even if I did follow your advice to the letter, the fact remains that I still can’t comfortably and safely be myself around a narcissistic friend or partner. I’d always have to choose my words carefully. Not worth it.
