4 Boundaries for YOU When you are with a Covert Narcissist

The Covert Narcissism Podcast

How in the world do we set boundaries with a covert narcissist? How do we protect ourselves from all the damage they are doing?

The boundaries that we need to set are for us, not for them. The boundaries are for you. Setting boundaries for them is like giving them a challenge. It’s game on, basically a guarantee that this will do it.

Here are 4 boundaries for you to consider and work on!

• Stop explaining yourself to them, defending yourself
• Stop making yourself vulnerable to them
• Stop expecting them to change and stop trying to help them change or to fix them
• Stop making excuses for them

In this episode, I explain the need for these boundaries as well as how to implement them. Be patient with yourself as you go through this. It is not a one-time event, and it is not easy.

The only people who get upset about you setting boundaries are the ones who were benefiting from you having none.
