The narcissist may also try to gaslight you or shift the blame so they are not accountable when you ignore them.

You can tell a narcissist you are setting boundaries by being assertive with your boundaries and making it clear to them what those boundaries are.

If you're not okay with something a narcissist wants you to do you should tell them up front and hold your ground and don't let them pressure you into doing it anyway.

You can make a narcissist miserable by telling them no, hitting them with new boundaries, holding them accountable, setting consequences and calling them out on their BS.
