Summary
In this podcast, Lisa Romano dives deep into how to outsmart a narcissist without them realizing what you are doing. By choosing not to engage with them and by letting go of your need to prove them wrong, you get to win and outsmart a narcissist. Learning to set boundaries with a narcissist is outsmarting them. Remember, narcissists win when you engage, so don't.
Become the one a narcissist cannot attach to. Developing a willingness to not argue with a narcissist or to punish a narcissist, helps you stay out of the ring with a narcissist who is built for emotional brawls.
Remember, setting boundaries is not only about protecting yourself but also about fostering self-respect and reclaiming your personal power.
Are you ready to set boundaries like a boss? If so, Lisa A. Romano has created a one-hour mp3 and a downloadable Boundary Building Workbook that you can access here;

| 0:45.2 | able to plug their extension cord into an outlet. |
| 0:49.1 | They need this to feel stable. |
| 0:52.3 | And so when you refuse to be that outlet, so you plug up that outlet, you say, no more, |
| 0:57.4 | no more, no way, no, you know, you can't plug into me anymore, you're not getting energy |
| 1:02.6 | from me, then it becomes easier for you to understand what it takes to outsmart a narcissist. |

| 1:24.8 | You must develop a desire to no longer argue, punish, try to win an argument |
| 1:31.5 | with, or change a narcissist. It's a pretty tall order because being pushed around, you know, |
