In 2025, around 1% of the population will be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), while another 15% to 20% will go undiagnosed. Key hallmarks of someone with NPD are entitlement, superiority complex, arrogance, and a lack of empathy. While it is true that everyone exhibits these traits to some degree, narcissists see these traits in excess and use them with the primary aim of manipulating others.
If you find yourself with a narcissist in your life that you don’t want there, it is essential that you go about it very carefully. Firstly, start with just a plan and a list of the most important documents that you would need if you moved out. Then, enact this plan very slowly, so that you don’t attract the attention of narcissists. Lastly, once enough of your stuff is moved out, it’s important to get you and your family members to safety when the narcissist is out of the house.
As soon as you physically remove yourself from a narcissist, it is important to separate yourself as well, legally. Fortunately, the lawyers at Nussbaum Law make it both an easy and safe process for you. While you can’t always find the solution for narcissism, you and your family will heal in the absence of the narcissist.
