Becoming #narcproof is a process.
So what are typical narcissistic behaviors?
...and denying rights, needs, wants, thoughts, feelings AND equality to the people with whom they are in relationship.
Are you one of those people?

Even the United States Marines have called on her for help!
Dr. Shaler particularly helps the partners, exes, and adult children of the relentlessly difficult, toxic people she calls Hijackals® to save their sanity and stop the crazy-making. She defines Hijackals as “people who hijack relationships–for their own purposes–while relentlessly scavenging them for power, status, and control.”
Rhoberta offers the insights, strategies, and support you need to reclaim hope, confidence–and your sanity–when dealing with the constant uncertainty and jaw-dropping behaviors of Hijackals in your life, at home and at work.
But how do I protect myself?
It’s difficult to admit–to yourself and to others –that you are being manipulated by a narcissist, and, thus, emotionally abused.
Putting up with it often seems like a less embarrasing alternative to acknowledging that we're being treated poorly.
But there are strategies you can learn and use to keep yourself sane, and reduce their impact on your life.
Narcissists are not always overt and easy to spot. Sometimes they are quiet, and come across vulnerable "victims" who quietly suck the life. So become well-versed in the behaviors to watch out for.
Knowing what you will and will not accept in your life is a great start. Being clear about the way you wish to be treated, and developing the assertiveness to clearly, and kindly, communicate those lines - and the consequences for crossing/disregarding them is essential.
I know those are tough words to hear.
As they get more and more comfortable believing that you can't see through them, they will become more and more abusive. NOW is the time to see clearly and refuse to accept it any longer.
