Ever wondered why dealing with narcissists feels like a draining tug-of-war? We're unraveling this complex knot for you, giving you insights into why treating them the way they treat you often escalates the conflict and becomes an emotional drain. We highlight a crucial aspect you need to remember: narcissists thrive on conflict and drama. By responding in kind, you might only be fuelling their ego and giving them a chance to manipulate and gaslight their way to looking good.But we don't stop at just laying out the problem. We take a leap further and delve into a broader perspective, looking at the surge of narcissism in our self-centered society. However, there's a silver lining in our discussion - faith in Jesus. We emphasize how faith can be a navigation tool to deal with narcissists. Instead of mirroring their behavior and compromising your values, faith can guide you to respond in a way that not only preserves your integrity but also transforms the situation into a message of glory and good.
