Stopping a narcissist often seems like an impossible task.
However, trust me it can be done effectively.
All narcissists have a similar behavioral pattern, and therefore, there are certain responses that work like a charm on almost every narcissist. Here are 6 of the most effective.
“you are wrong”
One trait that all narcissists share is that they are convinced that they are always right, despite the obvious truth and whatever the circumstances.
Even when a narcissist realizes they are not right, they will always try hard to convince their victim to see things from their perspective.
However, this is the time when you should tell the abuser that he or she cannot change your mind about things and that he or she may stop trying.
You have your own worldviews and attitudes and he can never make you believe in something that is not true.

Show him that there are different points of view in every possible situation, that you simply don’t agree with him, and that there is nothing he can do about it.
“I’m not to blame”
A narcissist will always try to make his victim look like the bad guy.
He will do his best to convince you that you are responsible for everything that goes wrong in your relationship; Even when he pleads guilty, he will distort reality by telling you that you made him do or say something he shouldn’t have done.
Either way, he wants you to believe that you are always to blame, one way or another.
That’s why you have to show your narcissist that you are not ready to take full responsibility for everything bad in your relationship.
You should be brave enough to call him out on his actions and tell him that he couldn’t get into your head and make you feel guilty.
“I am not crazy”
Every narcissist will try to play with their victim, by trying to make them believe that their view of reality is not correct.
He will try to make you doubt your sanity, telling you that things are not as you see them, that something did not go the way it did, that you are imagining things or that you are not sane because you feel something.
You are the one who has to tell the attacker that you are with him; You see what he’s trying to do but it won’t work.
You are not the crazy one and he will never be able to make you believe that.
“I’m not overly emotional”
When you argue with a narcissist, he or she will always try to play the emotional card.
You are the one who overreacts and overreacts and the one who lets your emotions control you.
Although there is nothing bad about this, the narcissist tells you these things to show you that you are weak and do not see things clearly.
So, you have to tell him that you are not overly emotional, that you are assertive and that he has no right to talk about your emotional state.
“You can’t control me”
The ultimate goal of every narcissist when it comes to his victims is complete control over them.
He wants to control every aspect of your life, including your thoughts and feelings.
However, when you feel that your narcissist is trying to control you, you have to stop it right there.
You have to remind him that you are a strong person and you have your own thoughts, desires and feelings and that he cannot hold you back in any way.

You have to show him that he will never be able to change the essence of who you are, so he’d better stop trying.
“I had enough”
When you argue with someone or find yourself in the middle of an uncomfortable situation, remember that you always have the right to turn your back on that person and walk away with dignity.
Don’t allow anyone to drag you into a battle you don’t want to participate in.
Leaving a situation does not make you weak or a loser, and it certainly does not mean the other person is right.
It just means that you are choosing your mental peace over proving someone wrong.
