Number 10: Do not try to take them on or expose them.
Chances are it will backfire, and the narcissist will very likely see this as a very real threat and seek revenge. It is never a good idea to try and beat a narcissist at their own game, and they fear nothing as much as they fear being exposed. You must remember that narcissists don’t have a conscience, so if they feel threatened by you, they are capable of doing horrible things in retaliation that we would never dream of doing to another person. It’s just not safe, and the most important thing should be your safety and well-being. So, do not take on a narcissist or try to expose them; your best bet is to just get the hell away from them.

Number 11: Do not expect the narcissist to play fair.
No, narcissists do not have any morals or ethics, so they will play dirty. Nothing is off-limits when it comes to something the narcissist wants. They will hit you way below the belt. They do not have a conscience, and they have absolutely no issue fighting as dirty and nasty as need be in order to get what they want. Narcissists don’t have any personal integrity. The only thing they care about is winning, and if that means playing dirty and being deceitful, slandering you, scaring you, or trying to intimidate you, so be it. They have no problem sinking to those levels.
