What do I do with a narcissistic person
I'm in a smaller friend group where unfortunately one of the loudest people is a narcissist. I know he has good qualities, he's been my friend for years, but unfortunately within the last year or so he's gotten worse and worse with needing to be the center of attention. He's a really outgoing and initially charming person, so he's "friends" with almost everyone. Thus he thinks "Oh, everyone loves me, that means I get to make choices for them." So he will use his "power" over people to bring others (me in some cases) down. I do think people notice this, but I know for a fact I'm not persuading anyone to join together and call him out as if this were some movie. How do I shut him down when he gets up on that pedestal? TLDR: Narcissist person in a friend group shuts people down due to thinking he is always the center of attention and gets to make choices for others. People know he shouldn't have that power, but they don't want to stand up and tell him that (for obvious reasons). How do I shut him down?
