Have you finally started to see the narcissist in your life for who they really are? While this is a powerful moment in your life, it can open the door on a lot of injuries you didn’t realize were there. Seeing all the damage that’s been done, you can feel the need for revenge bubbling up. There’s no getting even with a narcissist, though. Not in the sense that we know it. The only way to get back at the narcissist who’s done us wrong is to rise above their antics and see them for who they truly are.

Don’t seek revenge on a narcissist.

You might be looking at the narcissist in your life and waiting for a chance to strike back, but it will never come. That’s because the narcissist’s ego is impenetrable. No matter what evidence you have against them, they will find a way to make you the villain in any story that you share. There are many more reasons you shouldn’t seek revenge on a narcissist, though, and they’re important lessons to mark.

The battle will never end
