Rags to Riches: How to Hurt a Narcissist

From Rags to Riches: A Client Testimonial on How to Hurt a Narcissist

“They don’t feel pain the way you do.
But they do feel insult.
Especially when their control starts slipping away.

Here’s how to hurt a narcissist, not with violence, not with revenge,
but with power they can’t take from you:

1 Stop defending yourself

They feed off your need to explain.
Example: You try to justify why you were upset, and they twist it to make you the problem.

Silence and boundaries speak louder than any defense.

2. Heal so they can’t access the version of you they broke

They want you stuck in the pain they created.
Example: You used to cry and beg. Now, you go no contact and protect your peace.

They can’t hurt who they can’t reach.

3 Laugh again

Nothing confuses a narcissist more than seeing you happy without them.
Example: You post a photo smiling, and they view it ten times but never like it.
Your joy is your rebellion.

4 Tell the truth

They survive through false narratives.
Example: You share your story, and others begin to see the real you – and the real them.
Truth is the one thing they can’t rewrite.

5 Ignore their bait

They’ll provoke you just to feel significant again.
Example: They message after weeks of silence with
“Hope you’re well”, don’t respond.

Peace is power, and they hate not being the centre of yours.

6 Live well

Their biggest fear is being forgotten.
Example: You’re building a new life, and their name doesn’t come up anymore.

Healing is the deepest cut they’ll ever feel.

My final thought

You don’t need revenge.
Just keep becoming the version of yourself they never thought you’d be brave enough to become.
