The things you do that scare them are the same things that leave them surprised as well. Here are some of the following:

Showing kindness

Displaying or giving any ounce of generosity will leave them utterly speechless. So much so that they’ll begin to question if there are ulterior motives behind the simple gesture — asking such things as “What may be that person want?”

Generally, the narcissist will not give the same treatment unless there is something in it for them. Assuming this pattern of thought, they believe others carry the same sentiments.

It is exactly the reason you may not find a narcissist being the main benefactor in any situation, especially if there is nothing in return. For them, it isn’t worth it.

Narcissists who are on the receiving end of earnest good, without expectation, will be ultimately stunned. Shocked even. Frozen in their tracks. I think you get the idea.

It’s also important to note that both kindness and generosity, in some way, give them supply. So it’s best to avoid giving them any opportunity for them to take advantage of you.

Not feeding into their B.S.
