Dealing with someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder in a relationship can be emotionally exhausting. Have seen some people with this conditions and I think setting boundaries can help. Without them, their need for control or validation can overwhelm you. Clear communication is necessary, but expecting deep emotional reciprocity may lead to frustration.

I think you should focus on not taking things personally, as narcissists often lack empathy. It helps to communicate clearly, stay calm during conflicts, and seek support if needed.

I’ve found setting boundaries is very important. Communicating clearly and calmly helps, but it’s important to protect my emotional health. Sometimes, distance is needed to avoid feeling drained or manipulated.
