Is it smart to let the narcissist know your educating yourself about the narcissist? And read some answers out loud to them.
No, it is not. When you let the narcissist know that you know the name of their game and exactly what sort of person they are, they will feel narcissistic injury. This is a wound and a threat to the very core of who they are. They will feel as though their life is at stake and they will lash out and fight accordingly.
They will not say ‘oh, you are right, I am a narcissist, and I am sorry I’ve hurt you and I will try harder to be a kind person,” So if that is what you think you are going to accomplish by telling the narc about their disorder, you are very much mistaken.
Instead, they will say “No, YOU are the narcissist, YOU are the abuser, YOU are the bad person” and they will take all of your research, all of the articles you’ve shared, all of the terminology you’ve educated them with, and they will use it to create an even bigger and better smear campaign to use against you.
Congratulations, you’ve handed a loaded gun to a psychopath. good job.
