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.

This is a life hack that applies to pretty much everything, and it’s super useful when dealing with narcissists. Remember, narcissists thrive on conflict and chaos. They love playing the blame game. But if you constantly focus on solutions, they’ll eventually realize that their tactics are not working on you. By doing this, you’re showing them that you’re not interested in their drama, that you’re a positive person who’s all about moving forward. This can often disarm a narcissist and make them respect you greatly.

#6: Show Confidence.

Narcissists have an uncanny ability to sniff out self-doubt and exploit it. They love to capitalize on your insecurities and use them to control or belittle you. So, what’s the best way to counter this? You guessed it—confidence. Build up your confidence, folks. Trust in your abilities, your decisions, and your worth. 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.
