They’ll call your self-respect selfish

There is nothing that threatens a toxic person more than our boundaries. Boundaries are proof that we understand our worth and value. They show that we know how we deserve to be treated and that we respect ourself enough to say, I will not tolerate certain things in my relationships. This is a narcissist’s nightmare, because when we have boundaries, they lose their power over us. A narcissist’s goal is always control and dominance, not connection or love.
Let’s shed some light on how a narcissist weaponizes our boundaries. I want to share this with you so that when it happens, unlike me, who struggled and wasted more time than needed, you’ll recognize it in time.
1. They play the victim
The kryptonite of every narcissist is accountability.
Think about it. When is the last time you have heard them take responsibility for something, apologize and show real concern about how their words or actions has impacted you?
Exactly.
They are quick to point out our flaws but the moment we bring up theirs, we are punished.
