3. The third thing to keep in mind is that there is no need to seek explanations or closure.

There is nothing to talk about. They never give closure; all you will be doing is allowing them to feed off of you and manipulate you. Ok, so those are our tips but whatever the situation your priority should be to just get away from them. Excuse yourself to use the bathroom, make or call or just leave entirely to go somewhere else. Because the aim is to reduce physical contact as much as possible. What provides the least Narcissistic Supply?

And if you must communicate with them for whatever reason if you can limit it to written communication that would be ideal. Not only is this the worst or least form of fuel for a Narcissist but it allows you to compose something without emotion and ensure that you are not giving the Narcissist more information than necessary. The written word done correctly offers the least amount of supply possible. And the less physical and verbal interaction you can have with the Narcissist, the better.

But to conclude, ideally, one should aim to keep No Contact as solid as possible. Unfortunately, things don’t sometimes go to plan or because of prior commitments, we may have to endure with a Narcissist a bit longer. So, it is important to know how to manage them and not be used by them as a source of fuel. Ignoring a Narcissist is the next best option.

Because even though you still have to work with them, or see them when you are out and about, not acknowledging them really crushes their ego. When you can treat them like someone you don’t know or care to know it affects them terribly. But if no contact or ignoring is not an option just limit your exposure to them as much as possible.

No matter what relationship you had with them when you find out what you are dealing with, you can’t stay close to someone like that. Become standoffish with them. Grey rocks them. Avoid them.
