Ignore Them
Yes This is true!
Those who compare themselves to others often become judgmental over things that God doesn't even care about. They harshly judged based on their own prejudice and personal culture rather than truth from the Bible.
I have known men who judge women as usurpers for speaking the truth of the Bible in conversation. Sadly there are many woman who have held their tongue when they should have spoken. The Holy Spirit is not a respecter of persons, He uses everyone who is born again to speak the truth into the lives of those around them.
Narcissists are always looking laterally rather than vertically. Laterally, comparing themselves with others as opposed to vertically, comparing themselves with God. Scripture is not the measure of a prideful person. The prideful person uses Scripture to compare themselves with one another to determine who is better based on their interpretation also based on their personal desires.
Godly people seek to compare themselves with God, leaving them always needing more wisdom, never having enough and never feeling superior to anyone else.
2 Corinthians 10:12-13
12 For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding. 13 But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you."
It is wise just to obey the Holy Spirit, when others come against us for doing so then we are to disregard them and continue in obedience. There will be many in these last days who will attempt to ruin your walk, discourage you from what God is telling you to do, these people are to be ignored.
1 Corinthians 14:38
"38 But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized."
In the KJV of the Bible it is translated "let the ignorant be ignorant", the meaning is "let the ignorant be ignored."
Pay no attention to those who would speak against you when you obey God. They are ignorant and not worthy of attention.

The Nature of an Evil Heart
Taken from an article called "5 Indicators of an Evil and Wicked Heart
"4. Evil hearts play on the sympathies of good-willed people, often trumping the grace card."
"They demand mercy but give none themselves. They demand warmth, forgiveness, and intimacy from those they have harmed with no empathy for the pain they have caused and no real intention of making amends or working hard to rebuild broken trust. (Proverbs 21:10; 1 Peter 2:16; Jude 1:4)."
Proverbs 21:10
"10 The soul of the wicked desires evil;
His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes."
Jude 4
"4 For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ."

Becoming a New Creation
A testimony from someone who thought they were a Christian but realized they were not and became born again.
"I always professed to be Christian. I thought I was. I believed in God. I went to church. But I tell you. I was not. I may have held up some of my “Christian “ morals but I had demons all over me. All these wasted years. Trying to drink the pain away. All the psych drugs. Nothing helped. Not until last year when I finally truly met God and he saved me. I repented of everything he showed me. Especially all my suicidal thoughts among everything else. I’m a new person now.
I think a lot of people go to church because it’s their routine or whatever but don’t truly know God. They go through the motions. I did. For a long long time."

I am convinced there are many people just like this person who thought they were saved but do not realize they have never been born again. Thankfully the person quoted realized it and trusted Christ.

Narcissists are Convicted by the Holy Spirit
When the narcissist is convicted by the Holy Spirit in you, do not chase after them when they bolt. Let them go, they hate the Holy Spirit conviction that emanates off of born again believers. They are not running from the believer, even though they think they are, they are running from the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.
Stand strong, speak truth and allow the narcissists to leave when they run.
Ephesians 4:31-32 “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
Narcissists generate bitterness, wrath and anger, the very things God tells us to put away from us. When we see that these are the elements the narcissists are attempting to create in us, we must remove ourselves to avoid the temptation to act the way the narcissist acts.
1 Corinthians 15:33 "33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
We don't see Christ or the apostles running after those who have rejected Christ. They allow the consequences of life to teach the runner and the Holy Spirit to reach them in His good time.
Tolerating evil by remaining with the evil person only serves to validate the evil.
Isaiah 26:10 "10 But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and do not regard the majesty of the LORD."
In our modern flimsy idea of grace we have managed to become so soft on sin that the one who acts badly expects forgiveness without any sense they need to repent. Our culture has been enablers merely to feel good about ourselves. This superficial forgiveness does not generate sorrow in the sinful heart, it only encourages more sin.

How Does The Narcissist Make You Feel? (Besides Crazy)
My entire narcissistic family basically taught one another how to treat me as though I was completely stupid. I was analytical enough to think that something was off with them even though I felt bad that they didn't like me. I thought about things to discern what it was about me that was worthy of contempt. The fact that they treated me the same all the time no matter what I was doing made me realize that it couldn't be about me because even when I did nice things they mocked and demeaned it as though I did something wrong. Even when I was polite they acted embarrassed that I was foolish for being polite. I realized later that it was my empathetic kind way that upset them. When I finally realized this after many years of enduring the bad feelings I was able to see truth and no longer feel bad when they are rude. In fact they now avoid me because there is no sense in me that I have bought into their manipulation. They can no longer control my emotions so they aren't having fun anymore. LOL
I know there are many people who have encountered this! Sadly some who encounter this buy into the lies of the narcissist and actually become the person the narc says they are, even without realizing it. There are those who need to get stronger and not allow the narcissist to manipulate feelings and responses. I suggest that the goal of the narcissist is to goad their victims into becoming just like them, then they can scapegoat them. Scapegoating meaning the narcissist can point to their victim and accuse them of what the narc is doing because the narc poked at them until they responded badly.
Never allow the narcissist to control your feelings or your reactions!!! The best course is to avoid them entirely when possible, if not possible then to ignore them whenever they are acting the fool.
