5 Ways To Make A Narcissist RESPECT You

You should always respect other people, and they should respect you. It should be reciprocal. However, it doesn't work that way with a narcissist. You will not get respect from them. They will manipulate you into believing that they respect you, but with time, you will begin to see that it's all an act.

They don't respect anything, not even themselves. This is why they will do whatever they want, because they don't respect you. They see people as objects and believe they came to this earth to take whatever they can from people, whether it's attention, praise, admiration, compliments, money, or sex.

But they don't believe that they should ever have to give anything back to you. In their minds, you are an object that exists to serve them. You're meant to be there for them; they don't need to be there for you. You're meant to wait for them while they're out seeking other sources of supply and looking for your replacement.

When you arrange a meeting or engagement with them, they don't respect your time. They will turn up late and won't think anything of it because they like the idea of people waiting on them. They love to be the center of everyone's attention and expect the world to revolve around them. They don't want to assist you, making it a toxic relationship. It's someone you should avoid because they're not going to be anything good to you.

But if you really want to make them respect you, here are five ways to do that:

1. Be Distant: If you want a narcissist to respect you, you need to be distant. They don't value or respect anything that is close to them or anyone who wants them. They are very insecure and have low self-esteem. Deep down, they feel they're not enough. So, they see it as though if you choose to spend time with them, then something must be wrong with you. They will push and provoke you to find out your weaknesses until they develop some level of control over you. Then, they won't respect you because they're always testing you, even when they first met you. This is why you need to stay distant from them if you want them to respect you.

2. Don't Depend on Them for Anything: You should never depend on a narcissist for anything because they're very unreliable. They will always disappoint you and let you down. This is why you need to be independent emotionally and financially. You should never need to be with them, waiting for their text or phone call. If you do, they will instantly lose respect for you because they don't respect anyone who needs them for anything. But if you are emotionally and financially independent, then they will respect you more.

3. Have Something That They Want: If you want the narcissist to value and respect you, you need to have what they want. They need to see that you are greatly admired and respected by other people. They need to see that you have a lot of influence. Narcissists respect people who have a lot of money and power. They want to be a part of that.

4. Pretend You Don't Know: Pretend you don't know who they are or what they're about. Pretend you haven't figured them out. They tend to value and respect people who don't know their true nature. Once you've figured them out, they will turn against you and begin to hate you.

5. Respect Yourself: If you want a narcissist or anyone else to respect you, you must respect yourself. You must be confident and self-assured. Narcissists are always looking for people who they can manipulate and control, people who can make them feel better about themselves because they're very insecure. But if you're not going to be that person for them, then they will respect you more.
