Coping with a Narcissist During the Holidays

A narcissist has an exaggerated sense of importance and a deep need for admiration. They don't feel empathy for others. Add that to the stress and drama of the holidays and you have a recipe for disaster. Here are some tips for dealing with a narcissist during the holidays:

1. Don't expect sympathy or emotional support - they're not capable;
2. Don't get defensive and react poorly - it won't get you anywhere;
3. Set firm boundaries - don't let yourself be manipulated or mistreated;
4. Be prepared for resistance from them - narcissists believe they are unfairly blamed and will turn any blame back on you; and;
5. Look after your own mental and physical health - take time to yourself to re-charge your body, energy and mood.
