**How to embarrass a narcissist**

**Record them doing wrong.** Narcissists often hide behind charm and manipulation. Capturing their abusive, dishonest, or hypocritical behavior with clear evidence—videos, screenshots, or documents—can expose their true nature when necessary. This proof can serve as protection or leverage.

**Threaten them with a lawsuit/divorce.** Legal consequences terrify narcissists, especially when they risk losing control, money, or public image. When appropriate and safe, showing you’re serious about taking legal action can shake their sense of invincibility.

**Share your story on social media.** Many narcissists thrive on a polished public persona. Telling your truth—respectfully and honestly—can strip away the false image they project. Be mindful of privacy laws and your safety, but your voice matters.

**Confront their lies with proof.** Don’t let gaslighting slide. Calmly counter their falsehoods with evidence. This breaks their illusion of control and can publicly undermine their manipulative tactics.

**Say no and hold your boundaries firm.** Narcissists hate limits. By refusing to comply with unreasonable demands, you show strength and self-respect, two things that threaten their ego.

**Take away their control.** Stop seeking their approval. Make decisions for yourself. The less power they have over you, the weaker their influence becomes.

**Criticize them.** Narcissists can't stand criticism, especially if it's truthful. When it's safe, calling them out can puncture their fragile ego.

**Don't acknowledge their bad behavior with the reactions and attention they want.** Stay calm. No drama means no fuel for their ego.

**Control your own emotions.** Emotional detachment is your power. They thrive on chaos—deny them that.

**Don't share anything personal with them.** Keep your life private. They weaponize your vulnerability.

**Detach from their problems.** You’re not their fixer or emotional punching bag. Their chaos isn't your responsibility.
