The narcissist’s favorite trap: Baiting. Baiting is when a person with toxic or malicious intent purposely does or says something knowing they are going to hurt you or upset you.
Ever notice how the narcissist knows exactly which button to press? That’s baiting. They throw out hooks to lure you into reacting — an insult, a sly comment, a dig about your appearance, even silence.
Why? Because your reaction feeds them. Anger, tears, defensiveness — it all gives them control and a sense of power.
Here’s the secret: you don’t have to take the bait. When you respond with calm, factual, and minimal communication, you cut off their supply. Suddenly, their game stops working.
The narcissist baits you because they fear losing control. The moment you see it for what it is — a trap — you’ve already won.
I live in a world with other people who are sometimes not very nice. An incident presented itself this week in a really hurtful way. All I can do is take care of myself and search for the truth.
I can’t do anything about the abusive writings that were directed towards me this week on Yelp I can only say I would never do something like that to anyone. I cried for days over those words because I’m sensitive and I have endured so much with the supernatural. I watched something that I built and my beautiful clients help me build was torn into by someone who was setting me up. They did not need my help. Bullies, I suppose this theme will always be something I am working on. MS honey your time is going to come.
krigen er slut, gå hjem
