When setting boundaries with narcissistic family members, it’s essential to be clear and firm in your communication. Clearly state what behaviors are acceptable and what is not, and be consistent in enforcing these boundaries. Avoid engaging in arguments or debates with the narcissist, as they may try to manipulate or gaslight you. Instead, calmly and assertively communicate your boundaries and stick to them.

For example, if the narcissistic family member consistently tries to guilt-trip you into doing things for them, calmly let them know that you will no longer tolerate this behavior. Be prepared for pushback or manipulation, but stay strong and remind yourself of your own worth and well-being.
