Narcissists Take Advantage Of Other People | How Do I Stop Being Taken Advantage Of-CRITERIA FOR NPD

There are 9 criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder in the DSM-5 and I am doing a video series on each of the traits. Today I discuss criteria #6 “is interpersonally exploitative (i.e. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends)”. The narcissist takes advantage of other people because they need to use others as a way to increase their narcissistic supply. The narcissist has an ever waning narcissist supply due to their lack of object constancy and low self-esteem. The narcissist uses narcissistic abuse and punishment tactics such as gaslighting and manipulation as a way to take advantage of you. In today’s video I discuss how do I stop being taken advantage of. When you understand why narcissists take advantage of other people you can learn how to outsmart a narcissist. It is also helpful if you know how to spot a narcissist and the signs of narcissism, Why narcissists never change is because they don’t think they need to. They do what they want when they want to. So how do I deal with someone who takes advantage of me and how do I stop being taken advantage of? You set boundaries and you stick with them! Why do people act entitled? Because it helps then keep their blinders on! This is exactly what narcissists do! They wear blinders to their own actions and how it affects others. Narcissists have a lack of empathy and this won’t change.
