when you find yourself entangled with a
narcissist the most disorienting aspect
is often the confusion they create
narcissists are masters of manipulation
twisting words distorting reality and
making you question your own perceptions
you may find yourself doubting things
you once knew to be true wondering if
you're overreacting or even blaming
yourself for the pain you're
experiencing this psychological
manipulation is is not accidental it's
intentional by keeping you uncertain and
destabilized the narcissist maintains
control and in that confusion you can
easily lose sight of reality but here's
the crucial thing to understand God does
not operate in confusion scripture tells
us that God is not the author of
confusion but of Peace 1 Corinthians
14:33 where the narcissist brings chaos
God brings Clarity he is truth
itself and when you seek him in the
midst of this turmoil he begins to
reveal what is hidden the lies lose
their power when exposed to the light
one of the most profound ways God
responds when a narcissist hurts you is
by opening your eyes to the truth truth
about the person truth about the
situation and truth about yourself but
here's what's fascinating the truth
isn't always revealed in a dramatic
Earth shattering moment more often God's
illumination is gradual it's as if he
pulls back the curtain one inch at a
time allowing you to see reality in
stages just enough for you to handle as
you grow stronger why does he do this
because seeing the truth too quickly
before you're ready can overwhelm you
when you're emotionally entangled with a
narcissist whether it's a partner a
family member or even a colleague you've
likely invested a significant part of
your identity into that relationship if
God were to show you everything at once
it could feel like your entire world is
collapsing so instead he reveals it in
ways you can process allowing you to
gather strength as you begin to face the
reality of what you're dealing with um
and make no mistake this is a spiritual
battle as much as a psychological one
narcissistic manipulation thrives in
darkness it depends on secrecy and
confusion but truth is a spiritual force
in John 8:32 Jesus says then you will
know the truth and the truth will set
you free Freedom From The Narcissist
grip doesn't Begin by confronting them
or demanding they change it begins when
you see clearly when you recognize the
patterns identify the lies and
understand how deeply you've been
entangled that Clarity is the first step
toward genuine Liberation interestingly
this process of Revelation also extends
to yourself when you're trapped in a
narcissistic Dynamic it's easy to lose
touch with who you are you become so
focused on their needs their moods and
their manipulations that you lose sight
of your own identity God doesn't just
reveal the truth about the narcissist he
reveals the truth about you he reminds
you of your worth your dignity and your
purpose beyond the confines of that toxic
toxic
relationship it's also worth noting that
the narcissist power diminishes the
moment you begin to see clearly why
because manipulation only works when
you're in the dark once the light of
Truth Shines on their behavior it no
longer has the same effect you start
recognizing the subtle gaslighting you
see how they twist reality to serve
their own image and perhaps most
importantly you begin to separate their
distorted version of you from who you actually
actually
are now does this mean the narcissist
will suddenly change when confronted
with the truth rarely in fact calling
them out directly can often escalate
their behavior a narcissist rarely
admits fault because their identity is
built on a fragile illusion of
superiority when that illusion is
threatened they lash out often doubling
down on manipulation or playing the
victim but here's the thing you don't
need to force them to see the truth
that's God's
job Your Role is to stay rooted in the
truth he reveals to you and refuse to
return to the fog of confusion and God's
truth is unshakable it is not swayed by
The Narcissist lies or their carefully
constructed image when he reveals
something to you it stands firm and as
you walk in that truth you reclaim your
sense of reality you regain your
capacity to trust your instincts to set
boundaries and to make decisions that
align with who God created you to be
this is why patience is critical you may
want the truth in full all at once but
God's timing is perfect he reveals what
you need to know when you need to know
it trust that process trust that his
truth is working even when it feels slow
and as you lean into his wisdom the
confusion begins to dissipate where the
narcissists wanted to keep you powerless
God is steadily empowering you in the
end the truth doesn't just set you free
it anchors you and once you are Anchored
In God's truth The Narcissist power over
your mind and heart begins to dissolve
their manipulations no longer Define
your reality you are no longer a captive
to their deception here's what you need
to remember you don't have to fight
every battle you don't need to convince
the narcissist to see the truth your job
J is to stay rooted in the truth God
reveals and trust him to do the rest
because once the light has come Darkness
cannot win one of the most profound
truths about dealing with a narcissist
is this you cannot change them but God
can it's tempting to believe that if you
find the right words or the perfect
moment you'll break through their
defenses you might think that if you're
patient enough compassionate enough or
strong enough you'll eventually reach
the part of them capable of empathy and
accountability but that assumption
overlooks a fundamental reality
narcissism is not merely a collection of
bad habits or an inflated ego at its
core it is a deeply ingrained
psychological and spiritual Distortion
one that no human argument can unravel
when you engage a narcissist directly
trying to force them to see the harm
they cause you often encounter the
opposite effect instead of softening
they Harden instead of admitting fault
they double down on blame shifting and
denial this is because their entire
identity is built on a fragile
Foundation one that cannot withstand the
weight of Truth to admit wrongdoing
would unravel the carefully constructed
Persona they present to the world so
when you confront them their survival
Instinct takes over they will lie
project manipulate whatever it takes to
protect their illusion and the more you
push the more resistant they become
but here's the liberating truth it's not
your job to change them that work
belongs to God and God operates in ways
that are both subtler and far more
powerful than any human intervention
while you may be tempted to engage in
Endless arguments or emotional appeals
God works beneath the surface at the
level of the heart and soul and that is
where real transformation
occurs what does this mean practically
it means stepping back and allowing God
to take control this isn't about p ivity
it's about releasing the need to fix or
control the situation and trusting that
God sees everything he is not blind to
the harm the narcissist has caused he is
not indifferent to your suffering in
fact scripture is filled with evidence
that God takes special notice when the
vulnerable are mistreated Proverbs 15503
says the eyes of the Lord are everywhere
keeping watch on the wicked and the good
you may feel unseen but you are not you
may feel powerless but God is not when
you stop trying to change the narcissist
you shift the spiritual Dynamic instead
of engaging in a battle you cannot win
on your own you invite the power of the
Divine into the situation and God's ways
are not our ways he knows precisely how
to expose what is hidden and bring about
conviction you might spend months even
years trying to get a narcissist to
admit the truth without success yet God
can do in a moment what you cannot
achieve through a lifetime of arguments
and here's the crucial Point sometimes
God's work begins with allowing the
narcissist to experience the
consequences of their actions when you
continuously engage explaining and
justifying yourself you Shield them from
those consequences they remain
comfortable because you absorb the
emotional Fallout but when you step back
you allow reality to do its work you
give God space to reveal the truth in a
way they cannot
Escape consider the biblical example
example of pharaoh despite plague after
plague his heart remained hard no human
reasoning could soften him but God
through a series of events exposed
Pharaoh's pride and ultimately broke his
hold on the Israelites the lesson is
clear when pride is deeply rooted only
God's hand can bring about true humility
and often that process involves allowing
the person to encounter the consequences
of their own
behavior this is why it's so important
to resist the urge to confront the
narcissist repeatedly your words will
likely Fall on deaf ears but your
silence when Guided by wisdom can speak
volumes when you refuse to engage in
their manipulations you disrupt the game
they are playing and when you trust God
to handle what you cannot you position
yourself under Divine
protection of course stepping back is
not easy it requires tremendous Faith to
believe that God is working even when
you cannot see it it requires patience
to wait for his timing instead of
demanding immediate justice but that
trust is not misplaced Psalm 37:7 says
Be Still before the Lord and wait
patiently for him do not fret when
people succeed in their ways when they
carry out their wicked schemes for those
who hope in the Lord will inherit the
land in other words God's justice may
not be immediate but it is inevitable
and while God works on the narcissist he
also works on you when you release the
burden of trying to fix someone else you
begin to reclaim your own emotional and
spiritual energy you start to heal from
the confusion and pain you gain clarity
about your worth and your boundaries in
many ways stepping back is not just an
Act of Faith it's an act of
self-respect you are no longer allowing
someone else's dysfunction to Define
your life in the end your silence can be
more powerful than any argument your
decision to let God Work speak louder
than any words you could offer it is a
declaration that you refuse to be held
captive by manipulation and that you
trust in a higher form of justice and
when you do that when you stop trying to
change the narcissist and entrust the
situation to God you release yourself
from their grip you step into
Freedom so remember this it's not your
job to change a narcissist that work
belongs to God your job is to stand in
truth trust his time in and allow him to
do what only he can do and when you do
you not only find peace you give the
narcissist the opportunity to face the
truth in a way that no human
confrontation ever could one of the most
difficult truths to accept when dealing
with a narcissist is that their apparent
strength is an illusion on the surface
they present themselves as confident
self assured even Untouchable but
beneath that carefully crafted exterior
lies profound insecurity this is not
merely a personality flaw it is a deeply
rooted spiritual and psychological
condition and understanding this truth
changes how you respond to their
behavior it is easy to become consumed
by their outward dominance to feel
overwhelmed by their manipulation their
refusal to take responsibility or their
Relentless need for control but when you
grasp the reality that their power is a
facade it frees you from the compulsion
to engage with them on their terms at
the heart of Nar iism is a profound
emptiness a void that no amount of
external validation can ever fill it is
why they constantly seek attention why
they react so violently to criticism and
why they cannot tolerate being wrong
they are not grounded in a secure sense
of identity their entire sense of self
depends on how others perceive them and
because this Foundation is so fragile
any threat no matter how small must be
met with overwhelming force it is why
they twist reality shift blame and
project their faults onto others they
cannot afford to face the truth because
the truth exposes the nothingness they fear
fear
inside this is a crucial point to
understand when you confront a
narcissist directly you are not engaging
with a rational self-aware person who is
capable of honest reflection you are
engaging with a person who is
fundamentally at war with themselves and
when someone is at War
internally they inevitably create
conflict externally the chaos they cause
in your life is simply an extension of
the chaos they carry within themselves
they cannot live in peace because they
are not at peace and nothing you say or
do will change that reality only God can
but here is where things become even
more profound when you refuse to engage
in their battles you expose their
weakness you see a narcissist greatest
fear is being rendered powerless their
entire strategy depends on pulling you
into their emotional turmoil provoking
you confusing you controlling your
reactions if they can dictate how you
feel they maintain the illusion of power
but when you stop playing their game
when you step back and allow God to work
you dismantle their illusion you show
them that their control is not absolute
and nothing terrifies them
more think of it this way if you engage
in a power struggle with a narcissist
you affirm their belief that power is
the ultimate currency you reinforce
their world view a world view where
domination equals security but when you
refuse to engage when you stand firm
without becoming
reactive you disrupt that Dynamic you
demonstrate a deeper kind of strength
the strength that comes from
self-mastery and faith and in doing so
you confront them with a truth they cannot
cannot
Escape their power is hollow this is
where God's work becomes both subtle and
profound you may not see immediate
results in fact it may seem as though
your silence is ineffective but beneath
the surface something powerful is
happening when you step back and allow
God to take control you remove the
narcissist's ability to manipulate you
and without that ability they are left
alone with themselves and that is
precisely where God can begin to
work consider the biblical principle of
reaping what you sow Galatians 6:7 sayso
not be deceived God cannot be mocked a
man reaps what he SWS when you stop
shielding a narcissist from the
consequences of their actions they begin
to experience the weight of their
choices and those consequences are far
more powerful than any confrontation
could ever be you might spend hours
arguing your case pleading for
accountability but when you step aside
and let reality speak for itself the
truth becomes unavoidable this is not an
easy path it takes enormous discipline
to withhold your reactions when you are
being attacked or manipulated it takes
Faith to believe that God is working
when you cannot immediately see it but
this is the essence of spiritual
strength not to be ruled by your
emotions but to trust in a higher power
to bring Justice in his time and Justice
will come you do not need to force it in
the process something else happens you
become free when you disengage from the
narcissist manipul ations you reclaim
your mental and emotional energy you no
longer live under the constant pressure
of Defending yourself or proving your
worth you step out of the cycle of chaos
and into a place of clarity and in that
place you begin to see how much power
you always had the power to choose your
responses the power to set boundaries
and most importantly the power to trust
God with the outcome and here is the
deeper truth God's justice is not just
about exposing the narcissist it is
about healing you when you stop engaging
in their destructive patterns you create
space for your own restoration you begin
to recover the parts of yourself that
their manipulation tried to erase and as
you heal you become someone they can no
longer control you rise above their
chaos and discover a peace that cannot
be shaken so when you feel the urge to
confront a
narcissist pause ask yourself what am I
hoping to achieve if the goal is to make
them see the truth understand that only
God can open their eyes your role is to
stand firm in your own truth and trust
that God is working even when you cannot
see it in the end the most powerful
thing you can do is this refuse to
engage in their Illusions stand in truth
let God work because when you do you
strip away the facade and expose the one
thing they cannot face their own
emptiness and in that exposure the real
work of transformation begins both in
them and in you when you resist the urge
to confront a narcissist and instead
allow God to work something profound
happens you remove yourself from the
line of fire and let Divine truth and
Justice take their course this approach
is not about passivity or weakness in
fact it requires an extraordinary degree
of strength and
self-control it means trusting that
there are for forces at play beyond what
you can see that Justice is not always
immediate but is always inevitable and
this principle is deeply embedded in
both psychological and spiritual truths
a narcissist thrives on attention
whether positive or negative their
entire identity is built around
controlling narratives and manipulating
perceptions when you engage with them
especially when you call them out you
become a participant in their reality
and here is the critical insight as long
as you are in Tangled in their reality
you are playing by their rules this is
why confronting them directly often
backfires it gives them what they crave
a stage an audience and the opportunity
to twist the truth to suit their version
of reality but when you refuse to engage
you deny them the fuel they need to
maintain their illusion of power there
is something psychologically disarming
about being met with silence when you
expect a reaction narcissists feed on
emotional responses they want to know
they have gotten under your skin because
that reinforces their sense of
control so when you choose not to
respond when you refuse to validate
their attempts to provoke you you create
a void they cannot easily fill that void
is profoundly unsettling for them
because it forces them to confront
themselves without the distraction of
external drama and for someone who has
spent their life avoiding
self-reflection that is an
intolerable experience but this is not
just a psychological strategy it is a
spiritual one the Bible repeatedly
emphasizes the power of silence and the
wisdom of restraint Proverbs 2604 says
do not answer a fool according to his
folly or you yourself will be just like
him this is not about allowing Injustice
to go unchallenged it is about
recognizing that some battles cannot be
won through direct confrontation when
you choose not to engage you leave room
for God to act in ways you cannot his
Justice is not bound by human
limitations what you cannot achieve
through words God can accomplish through
his Sovereign power in many ways
refusing to engage is a profound Act of
Faith it requires letting go of the need
to be Vindicated in the moment it means
accepting that you may never receive an
apology or acknowledgement from the
narcissist and realizing that your worth
is not defined by their validation this
can be a difficult truth to accept
especially when you have been wounded
deeply but it is also liberating it
means you no longer need to fight
battles that drain your energy and Rob
you of Peace you can walk away knowing
that the truth does not depend on their
recognition of it and here is the
Paradox when you stop chasing validation
from a narcissist you regain control
over your own life as long as you are
trying to make them see the truth you
are still tra in their frame but when
you release that need you break free
from their influence you reclaim your
emotional and mental autonomy and in
doing so you become someone they can no longer
longer
manipulate this shift is not just
psychological it is spiritual you are
choosing to place your trust in a higher
authority one that cannot be deceived or
manipulated when you step back and allow
God to work you also create the
conditions for truth to surface in its
own time you see truth has a way of
emerging no matter how deeply it is
buried narcissists may be skilled at
distorting reality but no one can hide
from the consequences of their actions
forever sooner or later the cracks begin
to show and when they do the truth
becomes undeniable this is why stepping
back is not surrender it is strategy it
allows reality to do what no amount of
argument can achieve moreover when you
choose not to confront a narcissist
directly you protect yourself from
further harm narcissists do not respond
to confrontation with humility or
remorse they respond with defensiveness
and retaliation by disengaging you
Shield yourself from the emotional and
psychological toll of their manipulation
you create space to heal to regain
Clarity and to restore your sense of
self and in that space you can hear
God's voice more clearly guiding you
strengthening you and reminding you that
your worth is not contingent on anyone's
approval this approach also has a
profound impact on the narcissists
themselves though not in the way they
might expect when you no longer play
their game they are left to face the
consequences of their own behavior
without someone to absorb their
projections they are forced to confront
the emptiness within and while this is
an uncomfortable process it is also
necessary it is only in the absence of
external distractions that real
self-awareness can begin to take root
whether or not they choose to change
is not within your control but by
stepping aside you make room for the
possibility the power of this approach
lies in its Simplicity you are not
engaging in Endless arguments not
wasting energy trying to change someone
who does not want to change instead you
are stepping into a place of quiet
strength trusting that God sees what you
cannot and will act in ways beyond your
ability this is not weakness it is
wisdom it is the decision to invest your
energy in your own growth in healing
rather than in a battle that cannot be
won through force in the end the most
profound victories are often the
quietest when you refuse to engage with
a narcissist games you strip them of the
one thing they cannot live without
control you demonstrate that their
manipulations no longer affect you and
that truth is not something they can
distort forever and as you walk away you
do so with the knowledge that the real
work is already under way not in your
hands but in God's that is where True
Justice lies one of the most profound
truths you can Embrace when dealing with
a narcissist is this you are not
responsible for their transformation
that burden does not rest on your
shoulders it never did there is an
enormous psychological and spiritual
Freedom that comes from recognizing this
the impulse to call out a narcissist
often arises from a deep innate sense of
justice when you see someone distorted
reality twisting the truth to protect
their fragile
ego there's a part of you that wants to
correct the record you want them to see
the damage they've caused to take
responsibility to change but here is the
reality narcissists do not respond to
confrontation the way you might hope if
anything direct confrontation often
fuels their defensive mechanisms and
intensifies their manipulative
behaviors this is because narcissism at
its core is a defense against deep in
security and shame you are not dealing
with someone who has a clear coherent
sense of self instead you are
encountering a person who has built an
elaborate psychological Fortress to
protect themselves from feelings they
find intolerable and when you attempt to
confront them when you hold up a mirror
to their actions what you are really
doing is threatening that fragile
construction their entire identity is
built on the belief that they are
superior blameless and entitled any
suggestion to the contrary is
experienced as an existential threat
threat and when people feel threatened
at that fundamental level they do not
respond with humility they respond with
aggression or denial the problem is that
many people believe that if they could
just find the right words the perfect
argument they could break through that
defensive wall it's an understandable
belief we want to think that reason
truth and Clarity can reach anyone but
with a narcissist that belief is a trap
the more you engage in trying to force
understanding the deeper you are pulled
into their distorted reality instead of
leading to resolution these
confrontations often escalate into
cycles of blame gaslighting and
emotional manipulation and here is where
many people become stuck because they
think if they just try a little harder
if they are a little
clearer things will finally change but
you are not the one who can change a
narcissist that is God's work not yours
and that distinction is crucial you see
see when you take on the task of fixing
someone you place yourself in a position
you were never meant to occupy you take
on a responsibility that exceeds your
human capacity and more than that you
divert your energy away from where it is
most needed your own growth healing and
freedom you cannot simultaneously hold a
narcissist accountable and live fully in
the truth of who you are the two things
are incompatible because the more you
try to change them the more inang L you
become in their
dysfunction God however is not bound by
these limitations his work operates on a
different scale one that is not confined
to human timelines or perceptions when
you release the need to control the
outcome when you stop trying to force
someone to see what they refuse to
acknowledge you create space for divine
intervention and that intervention is
far more effective and far reaching than
anything you could accomplish through
argument or confrontation there is a
profound spiritual principle at work
here when you step back you allow God to
step in in Romans 12:19 we are told do
not take revenge my dear friends but
leave room for God's Wrath for it is
written it is mine to avenge I will
repay says the Lord this is not a call
to passivity or weakness it is a
reminder that ultimate Justice is not
ours to administer when you try to hold
a narcissist accountable on your own you
will almost always encounter frustration
ation because you are attempting to do a
job that is not yours but when you trust
that God sees the full truth when you
believe that nothing is hidden from him
you can release the need to fix to prove
to force a reckoning and that release is
transformative not just for them but for
you when you let go of the need to
change someone else you reclaim your own
power you begin to realize that your
worth is not dependent on their
acknowledgement or approval you stop
waiting for an apology that may never
come you release the burden of carrying
their dysfunction and instead focus on
becoming the healthiest strongest
version of yourself this shift is not
easy it requires faith and patience but
it is also freeing in a way that nothing
else can be what's even more powerful is
that stepping back does not mean that
Justice is abandoned quite the opposite
when you allow God to work you are
entrusting the situation to the one who
sees and judges perfectly and the truth
truth is that no one escapes that
judgment forever narcissists can
maintain their Illusions for a time but
eventually reality asserts itself the
consequences of their actions will catch
up with them and when that day comes it
will not be because you forced it it
will be because truth is inescapable
your energy is far better spent
cultivating your own life building
relationships grounded in mutual respect
deepening your spiritual foundation and
living in alignment with your values
when you do this you send a powerful
message not only to The Narcissist but
to yourself that you are no longer
available to be manipulated you are no
longer a participant in their game and
that withdrawal of attention that
refusal to engage is one of the most
powerful responses you can offer it
signals that their behavior no longer
controls you and nothing unsettles a
narcissist more than realizing they have
lost their grip at the end of the day
the most profound transformation happens
not when you try to change someone else
but when you focus on becoming who you
were meant to be and when you step back
and trust God to work you are making a
profound declaration that you believe in
a Justice greater than what you can
enact and that your peace is worth more
than any argument and that kind of
freedom is something no narcissist can
ever take from you when a narcissist
wounds you there is an instinctive human
desire to seek immediate Justice to call
them out to expose their behavior to
make them see and feel the damage
they've caused this reaction is not
inherently wrong it's a reflection of
our deep longing for fairness for truth
to be acknowledged and for the balance
of moral order to be restored but here's the
the
problem you are often dealing with
someone who fundamentally rejects that
moral framework a narcissist operates
from a different psychological Playbook
they are not interested in truth as a
transcender value they are interested in
control in preserving their self image
and in ensuring that the narrative
always serves their
agenda when you attempt to engage a
narcissist in a moral conversation when
you try to reason with them or hold them
accountable through rational discourse
you will quickly find yourself trapped
in a game you cannot win narcissists are
masters of deflection and projection if
you bring up a legitimate grievance
they will twist the conversation to make
themselves the victim if you try to
establish boundaries they will paint you
as unreasonable cold or even abusive and
if you attempt to expose their behavior
publicly they will often escalate their
manipulation deploying charm or deceit
to turn others against you in short your
attempts to confront them directly often
result not in Clarity or justice but in
deeper confusion and pain it is precise
ly in this space this agonizing tension
between the desire for justice and the
futility of forcing it that the wisdom
of stepping back and allowing God to
work becomes so powerful because here's
the truth nothing escapes the Divine eye
no lie no manipulation no hidden cruelty
goes unseen and while human Justice is
always limited Bound by our knowledge
our biases and our finite resources
God's justice is
perfect it is both patient and
inevitable there is a profound
psychological and spiritual relief in
recognizing that you do not have to bear
the burden of making things right on
your own when you release the need to
control the outcome you are not
surrendering to
Injustice you are entrusting the
situation to a higher authority and that
act of trust is itself
transformative it frees you from the ex
exhausting and often feudal cycle of
trying to make a narcissist understand
what they are psychologically and
spiritually incapable of
accepting it allows you to reclaim your
time your emotional energy and most
importantly your sense of self because
the longer you engage in battle with a
narcissist the more you risk losing
sight of who you are you become reactive
rather than intentional your world
Narrows to the conflict and the
narcissist paradox toxically becomes the
center of your attention but when you
step back when you say I trust that God
sees this I trust that nothing is hidden
from him you are making a radical
Declaration of Freedom you are refusing
to allow someone else's Brokenness to
Define your life and there is nothing
more disempowering for a narcissist than
realizing they no longer have the
ability to provoke you to pull you into
their drama or to shape your emotional
landscape and here's something else to
consider when you trust God to work you
also open the possibility for outcomes
that exceed your limited imagination
there are transformations consequences
and Revelations that you could never
orchestrate on your own narcissists
often maintain their Illusions through
sheer force of will but no illusion can
withstand the weight of reality forever
people reveal themselves over time and
as much as a narcissist may try to
maintain their facade the truth
eventually emerges when you allow God to
work you give space for that process to
unfold not on your timeline
perhaps but in the fullness of time this
is not passivity it's a strategic
withdrawal grounded in faith and wisdom
it does not mean you tolerate abuse or
deny your pain on the contrary it means
you take your pain seriously enough to
place it in the hands of one who can
actually heal it and in doing so you
also refuse to let that pain become the
organizing principle of your life you
move forward not in bitterness not in
the endless search for Vindication but
in the quiet confidence that Justice
belongs to God and he will not be mocked
when you adopt this perspective you
regain your power you stop reacting to
every provocation you no longer feel
compelled to prove your side of the
story to people who may never understand
and you start focusing on the things
that genuinely matter your own growth
your own purpose and the relationships
that bring true connection and joy it's
easy to believe that stepping back means
you're letting the narcissist win but
that's a profound misunderstanding when
you engage in endless conflict they
still control your focus when you
release the battle and entrust the
situation to God you are no longer bound
by their games you have chosen a
different path one that leads to peace
freedom and truth that cannot be
distorted or
denied ultimately the most powerful
thing you can do in the face of
narcissistic harm is to refuse to let it
