13 Ways To Make a Narcissist Respect You -

#4: Understand Their Insecurity.

This one’s tough. It requires understanding and empathy. Recognize their insecurity. Yes, beneath that self-centered, overly confident exterior, narcissists often harbor deep-seated insecurities. I’m not asking you to pander to their insecurities, but understanding them can give you a unique advantage. You can use this understanding to your benefit—to diffuse potential conflicts or to negotiate better. It’s like seeing the strings that control the puppet. Once you see them, you can predict their movements and protect yourself better.

#5: Focus On Solutions, Not Problems.

But if you constantly focus on solutions, they’ll eventually realize that their tactics are not working on you.

This can often disarm a narcissist and make them respect you greatly.

Walk into a room like you own it, and trust me, even the narcissist will sit up and take note. This isn’t about being arrogant or pretentious; it’s about believing in yourself and your worth. Show that confidence and you’ll earn their respect—not because they want to give it, but because your confidence commands it.
