Original Advice

DO: Set clear boundaries and uphold them consistently.

Fortify Your Soft Edges

Face it: a narcissist treats your kindness like open bar. The more you pour, the louder they demand. Stop furnishing their mirror. Define where you end and they don’t begin. Speak in short sentences. Repeat yourself. Walk away when the script loops. Your silence is a lock. Your consistency is the key. Hold the door shut.

Boundaries are not punishment; they are terms of use. Narcissists respect friction, not feelings. When you enforce a rule, you become unprofitable to manipulate. Predictability starves chaos. Choose two or three non-negotiables: response times, topics, time spent. Post them on your calendar like appointments. Follow them like tides. Consistency rewires your nervous system and scrubs their fingerprints off your decisions.
