Difficult Relationships - Christian Wisdom for Life's Toughest Ties

3 Clues to Spot the Demonic Spirit Behind the Narcissist


Listen Later

When a narcissist loses control over you, they don’t walk away—they escalate. Their goal has never been love, it’s always been control. Here are 3 common tactics they use and how to protect yourself:

1️⃣ They Play the Victim
They twist the story to make you feel guilty, using emotional manipulation and even extreme claims to pull you back in. (Proverbs 26:24–26)
Protect yourself: Hold your boundaries. Don’t fall for guilt trips or over-explain.

2️⃣ They Smear Your Name
Through lies and twisted stories, they try to isolate you by turning others against you.
Protect yourself: Let silence and your actions speak louder than gossip.

3️⃣ They Try to Provoke You
They push your buttons to trigger a reaction they can then weaponize. (Proverbs 26:4)
Protect yourself: Don’t engage. Stay calm and emotionally grounded.

These tactics are only part of the narcissist’s playbook. The best defense? Stand firm in your truth and boundaries.
