Ever feel like you are the one losing your mind while they stay completely calm?
This tactic is called reactive abuse. A narcissist pushes your buttons, crosses your boundaries, and manipulates a situation until you finally snap. The moment you react with anger, they flip the script. Suddenly, your reaction becomes the proof they need to show everyone else that you are the unstable one. They get to play the innocent victim while you absorb all the blame.
The best response? Total silence. Do not give them the reaction they are looking for.
