Have you ever found yourself in a relationship with a narcissistic ex? If so, you’re aware that encountering them can be an uncomfortable and overpowering experience. It might be difficult to know what to do while trying to maintain a friendly relationship or avoid touch entirely.
These experiences might bring back memories of past trauma, such as self-doubt, questioning your reality, and reminders of abuse. The love-bombing they did earlier in the relationship can further confuse your emotions. All of this can hit you at once, eliciting the fight-or-flight response.
That’s why it’s crucial to prepare. Knowing how you will react before you face them can make a significant impact. In this blog post, we’ll go over the dos and don’ts of meeting your narcissistic ex, so you can stay safe and maintain your dignity throughout the encounter.
Remember that each relationship and situation is unique; therefore, a new strategy may be required. However, prioritizing your physical, mental, and emotional safety is critical. If you feel dangerous, don’t be afraid to call a friend, ask security for help, or walk away, especially at night.
