How do you silence a narcissist who is using silence against you?

Um…they’re already being silent. What else do you want?

Are you trying to ask how you STOP the narcissist from using the silent treatment?

The answer to that is that you can’t. If a manipulation tactic works to make you angry, make you beg for their forgiveness, make you follow them around asking them to please just talk to you….it’s doing what they want it to do. It’s getting under your skin and getting your goat.

If you are trying to ask how you stop a narcissist smear campaign—how do you make them stop taking **** about you behind your back….also, you can’t.

But you can do a lot towards stopping their manipulative nonsense by not showing any response to it.

Enjoy the peace and quiet of the NPD silent treatment.

Laugh and shake your head if a flying monkey brings you some ridiculous tattle-tale story about the terrible things the NPD is saying about you.

Once they realize they have no power over you, they will move along. I suggest you move along first, though. There’s no reason to keep a narcissist in your life. They are poison.
