The mentality of a cat is about two years old, the mentality of a dog is six years old and the mentality of the narcissist is a bratty six-year-old. I would rather have cats and dogs for my friends than a bratty narcissist.
The world is turning into an almost entirely narcissistic generation. Correction is seen as a personal attack rather than an opportunity to grow wiser.
The word "No" to the narcissist is a declaration of war .
If you have ever met a narcissist you know that they are deeply angry on the inside all the time. The reason you know this is that they are angered so easily, even when nothing is wrong. Anger dwells just below the surface ready to emerge violently at the slightest perceived redirection.
Just doing our own thing, living our own life the way we believe is enough to send the narcissist into a tailspin.
If the narcissist cannot unnerve you into acting disrespectfully they will gossip about you, sending other family or church members to come against you. Family mobbings are common attacks against the born-again believers in our day of apostasy. Expect it, be ready for it by praying and obeying the Scriptures.
It does not matter if anyone else in the world love us as long as we are a child of God, born of the Spirit of God, walking in His Ways.
2 Corinthians 5:7
"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
Micah 6:8
"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
Pay no attention to what the narcissist is doing, what they do is on them, what we do is on us and we want to be Christ-like. When we fight against the narcissist they are attempting to cause us to be rude like they are, don't do it, remain respectful and remove yourselves so that the devil will not have a foot-hold.
Luke 6:27-28 "27 But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."
God knows what the narcissist is doing, we have no need to make sure we win against them, let God fight our battles for us.
