 You cannot be friends with the narcissist, being nice to them or being friendly with them will not help you. It will not assist you in any way. You cannot be friends with the narcissist. Trying to help or assist them or playing by their rules will only set you up to be used. They will exploit you, manipulate you for their own advantage, but they will never be fair. And you will never receive any kind of benefit or favourable opportunity for doing things their way. It will only put you in a worse position because you have then willingly given them power over you. You cannot have a practical or realistic relationship with the narcissist. It will not be of any benefit to you. There is no way of managing a functional relationship with a narcissist. Trying to deal with them in a sensitive or tactful way will not work. It will only set you up to be exploited by them. You cannot continue a friendship or relationship with the narcissist. They are not going to change. They are not going to adjust their behaviour, regardless of how nice or friendly you try to be with them. The more you try to do things their way, they will only use that to further manipulate and take advantage of you for their own benefit. They do not have your best interest in mind. They don't care about what you want or how you feel. It's all about them and what they can get out of it, and they are opposed to anything that you are trying to do. If you are trying to build or establish something, they are always going to want to destroy it. They are selfish. They have no consideration for you. They only think of their own advantage. They only care about what they want and how they feel. If you cannot provide anything to them, if you have no use to them, they are not going to assist you or work with you in anything. But even then, they are only there to take something from you. They are only there for their own benefit. Being nice or friendly to them, treating them fair, giving them respect and attending to their needs, it's only going to put you in a situation where you are in danger. They will be constantly attacking you through the use of dishonest, devious systematic plans or arrangements. Until you reach a point where you become paranoid or hyper-vigilant, suffering from anxiety or distress, by being friends with a narcissist, you will be affected by the particular processes or activities that they have made you accept as normal or usual. It doesn't make any sense to be nice or friendly to the narcissist. They are not worthy of trust or acceptance. They are not worthy of any fair treatment. You cannot be friends with them. You cannot be friends with someone who is trying to hurt you, someone who is trying to manipulate you, someone who is just trying to use you for their own needs. You cannot be friends with a narcissist because you will always be incompatible with them. There will always be a difference of opinion because they are selfish. They only care about their own needs and they lack consideration for anyone else. So there will be arguments or disagreements and they will result in a way that is unfavorable to you. The more you try to assist them or comply with their requests, the more you try to cooperate with them, the more opportunities you are given them to manipulate and exploit you because that's all they are going to do. They are just going to use you for their own benefit. You cannot be friends with a narcissist without expected to receive unfair or unfavorable treatment. They are scavengers living with a scarcity mindset believing that there isn't enough to go around. If you try to be nice or friendly to them, they will only see you as someone who lacks experience, wisdom or judgment. They will only see you as someone who could be easily persuaded to be something. It motivates and encourages them to take advantage of you and use you for their own benefit without any worry or concern for their actions. Because they see it as though you deserve this unfair or unfavorable treatment if you are still engaging with them. They see it as though that gives them the right to take advantage of you. You cannot be friends with a narcissist. You cannot be nice or friendly with them. You cannot try to help or assist them or play by their rules. They are only going to manipulate and exploit you. They do not have your best interest in mind. When you are fair or respectful towards them, they do not feel any need to show any respect back to you. They see it as though you are stupid. So you are deserving of unfair or unfavorable treatment. This is why you cannot be around them. You cannot deal with these types of people. They are only going to use you for whatever they can get out of you. And if they cannot get anything out of you, if you are of no use to them, you may as well not even exist. Thank you for watching.
