Don’t you love the look of confusion on a narcissist’s face when you confuse them too much?
It’s like they’re trying to solve a math equation without giving any numbers.
But what could be causing this confusion? What triggers them and leaves them unable to make sense of everything?
Here are 20 things that are sure to drive them crazy.
- Ignoring
If you don’t give them your full attention, you can see them reflecting on your indifference.
What’s the reason?
Why don’t I seem very attractive to this person?
What’s not working?
What do I do now?
This never happens.

Of course, it may not happen regularly, but guess what?
You were created to rewrite history!
- Someone Who Doesn’t Respond to Your Conversations
Narcissists thrive on your frustration and conflict. They love seeing you frustrated, tired, and anxious in their presence; it’s a sign they’re truly in control.
Draining your energy by stirring up conflict is what they’re good at. They thrive in such an environment, but you don’t have to provide it.
Confuse them by smiling and letting them get on with it.
- Unmanipulate You
When all their attempts to upset you fail, the narcissist will panic.
You’ll hear it, you’ll see it. Most importantly, you’ll feel an air of confusion.
What’s changed?
Why can’t I suddenly get away with it?
It’s because you’ve put your feet up and aren’t letting anyone abuse you.
- Set Firm Boundaries
The stricter your boundaries, the worse the narcissist will act. Restricting their control over you gives them that power, and only gives them a confused state of mind.
When you enforce your boundaries, the narcissist feels trapped.

- When You Stop Justifying Yourself
Why don’t you justify yourself anymore?
Oh, that’s right.
Because you don’t care about infiltrating narcissists’ hearts.
Great!
- Seeing You Happy Without Them
Narcissists need you to need them, and they want you to want them. If you don’t, there’s no place for them.
Think about the narcissist you know. Do they make you feel somewhat childish? That’s because they like to think they own you that way.
Your happiness and independence away from them will completely confuse them.
- Being Publicly Exposed
It takes a narcissist a long time to establish themselves in public. If you deliberately expose them, it will be their worst nightmare.
Imagine the satisfaction you’ll feel!
- Losing Control Over You
If they lose control over you, they’ve lost you forever.
It’s like watching someone trying to get to their destination without a map!
- Someone Who Doesn’t Care About Their Approval
Why do you have to ask them every time you want something?
What about living for yourself without worrying about the narcissist’s approval?

- When You Stop Being Emotional
Be indifferent, and the narcissist will panic.
Their confused minds will try to understand what’s going on, but for you, you’re just avoiding unnecessary emotions.
Absolutely true.
- Someone Who Doesn’t Apologize for What They Didn’t Do
If you didn’t make a mistake, why apologize? What are you looking for?
You refuse to be held accountable, and the only other explanation turns out to be their fault.
Oh, them!
They expect you to take the blame. When you refuse, they get frustrated.
- Watching You Leave Without Drama
What do you mean you won’t plead, cry, or argue?
You’ll just prove your emotional validity compared to them and leave?
Great!
Come on!
I’m not making excuses for the stunned look on the narcissist’s face when you do that.
- Your Self-Confidence
It has to come from somewhere to succeed, and that’s the hardest part. Narcissists are known to strip you of all your self-worth.
Dig deep to find it will prove you’re comfortable in your own skin, and that only makes them feel embarrassed.
Not Your Problem!
- When You Expose Their Lies
Public Service Announcement!
The narcissist is a liar, and I have proof!
Watch them walk briskly, even run away.
They can’t figure out your problem, but they certainly don’t want to stay to find out.
- Not responding to their love bombardment
It just doesn’t work, does it?
It’s sad when you watch them try to charm, and you almost laugh in their face.
And that’s what you should do.
Their charm is fake, but your certainty about their narcissism isn’t.
- Being told “no” without explanation
“No” is a phrase. I say this a lot to people I work with, and it takes a while for them to absorb it.
This is because they’re simply not used to saying “no,” when all they want is to please people and say “yes” whenever possible.

Why?
A narcissist won’t like you even if you say “yes.”
- Seeing you unbothered by their insults
They can say whatever they want.
This doesn’t mean you’re going to let them suck you in.
You’re strong, and you deserve to let them get the better of you and move on with your day.
Fuck them. Let them be confused about holding your head up and moving on.
- Someone Who Doesn’t Fall for the Fake Victim Trick
Rolls their eyes.
Sighs.
Laughs lightly.
That’s what many victims eventually learn, because they’ve had enough.
Suddenly, they get angry.
What?!
What’s happening?
You don’t believe their sad story, that’s what’s happening.
- They Lose Control of the Narrative
History can’t be rewritten to suit anyone. It is what it is: facts and all.
If you stop accepting their version of reality (which turns out to be a lie), you’ll see the panic on their faces as they confuse who you are now with who you were.
- They Watch You Move On Quickly
Move on, forget about them, and live the best life you can.
I’m telling you, this is the best thing you can do for yourself, and for your healing journey.
