Understanding Communication with Narcissists

Negotiating with a narcissist requires a fundamentally different approach compared to communicating with a rational individual. This stems from the way narcissists process emotions and information, which can be traced back to developmental issues during childhood. They often exhibit arrested development in their limbic system, leading to difficulties in rational thought when they feel threatened. Consequently, effective strategies must prioritize maintaining boundaries and employing unique negotiation tactics that recognize their specific psychological traits.
