🎙 3 Desperate Tactics Narcissists Use When You Stop Playing Their Game

When a narcissist realizes they no longer have control over you, they panic—not out of love, but out of a deep need for power. Like a gambler who suddenly starts losing, they escalate and become desperate. In this episode, we’ll uncover 3 common tactics narcissists use when they lose control—and how you can protect yourself.

🔹 1. They Play the Victim
They twist the narrative to make you feel guilty. Expect phrases like “You’ve changed” or “After all I did for you…”—even threats or extreme claims to manipulate your emotions.

🔹 2. They Smear Your Name
Narcissists launch smear campaigns to damage your reputation, isolate you, and pressure you into returning to the relationship.

🔹 3. They Try to Provoke You
They push your buttons to get a reaction, then use that reaction against you. This is a trap—don’t fall for it.

đź“– Proverbs 26:24-26 & 26:4 remind us to be wise to deception and avoid engaging with manipulative fools.

đź’ˇ Protect yourself: Stick to your boundaries, resist the guilt trips, and let your actions speak for themselves.
