 when the narcissist targets the wrong person, when they target someone who is too much for them to deal with, when they target someone who makes their life hell, they prefer to target people who are naive and over trusting, people who show a lack of experience, wisdom and judgment. But sometimes they do run into people who already know their game, people who know how to deal with them. And when that happens, the narcissist doesn't know how to deal with it because narcissists are cowards. They run from danger. They can dish it out, but they cannot take it. They don't like it when people do the same thing to them. They see nothing wrong with ruining your life and making you miserable. But when it happens to them, they can't deal with it, which is why they prefer to target empaths, people who are more accommodating. They will bait you in and then they will trap you, but not all empaths are going to put up with it, which is how they often end up targeting the wrong person because they don't suspect that you could take away your empathy by realizing that they are not deserving of it. When the narcissist targets the wrong person, they may target someone who seems kind and friendly during the love bombing phase and this makes the narcissist think that they can get away with certain things, but as soon as the narcissist tries to mess with this person, they will confront them. They will question their behaviors because they're not intimidated by the narcissist and they're not susceptible to them at ablation. They're not afraid to speak the truth. They might be empaths, but that doesn't mean they're going to let people walk all over them. They will make the narcissist regret targeting them because they're not going to tolerate the narcissist's manipulation and lies. They might leave the narcissist or they may even expose them to other people because the narcissist targeted the wrong person. They thought they had someone who they could manipulate and control, but then they later realized they made a big mistake when you confront the narcissist on their behavior and you expose them for what they are unless they are completely unaware of their own dysfunction. They will run away because they are cowards. Their bark is bigger than their bite. They may not even try to get revenge on this type of person, but they will use the situation to portray themselves as the victim. They will say that this person is the abuser. You will only ever be weak or an abuser to the narcissist. They see things in black and white. So there is no in between. As soon as you decide to stand up to the narcissist, they will label you as the abuser. But if they know that they cannot manipulate you, they won't want to see you again. Narcissists only want to be around people that they are able to manipulate, which is why you should strive to be the person who sees through them, the person who is not going to tolerate their behavior, because only then will they realize that they targeted the wrong person. But even then, just because you don't see them, it doesn't mean that they're not plotting behind the scenes. Narcissists are very dangerous people, and although they may not confront you directly, they will often take the cowardly route. They will use other people and things to get to you so that you are unable to trace it back to them when the narcissist realizes that they have targeted the wrong person. They become more covert. They try to cover up their tracks. They destroy the evidence of their actions, which should only further reveal to you what you were dealing with, and it should make you want to distance yourself even more. Thank you for watching.
