Narcissistic Friend How to Identify, Subdue, and Safeguard Yourself from

Your toxic friendship could be putting your mental health at risk. Here's what you can do about it:

Do you have a friend who leaves you drained and exhausted after every interaction?

Are you filled with anxiety and dread before you meet with them?

Is this friendship feeling more and more one-sided as time goes on?

While they may have some other wonderful qualities, the fact that your friendship with them is making you feel this way could be a sign that your friend is a narcissist.

A narcissist is often characterized as arrogant, self-important, and attention-seeking.

However, some narcissists can actually be very meek and self-effacing, making it harder to detect them.

And they can be just as dangerous as more overt narcissists, if you allow them to be.

Unlike an intimate or family relationship, keeping a friendship with a narcissist can be more manageable, as long as you know how to protect yourself.

By uncovering the behavior and motivation behind a narcissist's words and actions, you can understand why they act the way they do, and approach the friendship from a place of empathy, instead of victimhood.

Knowing how they think and act will also help you defend yourself mentally and emotionally when they try to manipulate or belittle you.

Whether you've been friends since childhood, or you've just connected recently, having a narcissist as a friend is a uniquely trying experience.

As in any friendship, there will be reasons to stay and reasons to go.

Ultimately, it will be up to you to decide what's best for yourself and your friendship.
