7 Ways A Narcissist Will Weaponize Your Boundaries
Manage episode 475112790 series 3656624
Have you ever set a boundary with someone, only to be made to feel like you're the villain? If so, you're not imagining things. Narcissists are masters at twisting your boundaries into weapons they use against you — making you feel guilty, confused, and questioning your own reality. In this eye-opening podcast, Sascha Haert reveals 7 ways a narcissist will weaponize your boundaries — and more importantly, how to stand firm and reclaim your power.
What you'll learn in this episode:
• Guilt-tripping your boundaries: Discover how narcissists use guilt to make you feel selfish for prioritizing yourself — and how to shut it down.
• Playing the victim: Learn to spot when a narcissist pretends to be the victim to flip the script and make you second-guess your boundaries.
• Gaslighting your needs: Understand the gaslighting tactics designed to make you doubt your own feelings — and how to hold onto your truth.
• Love-bombing manipulation: Find out how narcissists use affection and over-the-top gestures to break down your defenses.
• Public shaming of your boundaries: See how they might try to turn others against you — and why standing your ground matters more than their approval.
• Testing boundaries bit by bit: Recognize the subtle ways narcissists push limits over time, hoping you'll give in little by little.
• Flipping boundaries into personal attacks: Uncover how they twist your 'no' into a personal rejection — and why you're not responsible for their reactions.
How to protect yourself:
• Redirect your energy: Focus on what fulfills you — your hobbies, friendships, and goals — to reduce their grip on your emotions.
• Set and enforce boundaries: Saying 'no' means nothing if you don't follow through. Stand firm without over-explaining.
• Cultivate emotional independence: Learn to validate your own feelings instead of seeking approval from those who manipulate you.
Why this matters:
Boundaries aren't just lines in the sand — they're declarations of your self-worth. When you understand how a narcissist manipulates those boundaries, you take back your power and create space for authentic, respectful relationships.
