This type of narcissist is less toxic and always blames others and the world for their mistakes. They never take ownership; instead, they constantly do the blame game.
4. Communal Narcissists:
The person included in this list is the one who wants validation and approval from others.

How do Narcissists act in a relationship?
If you are currently in a relationship with narcissists, you must recognize them early and possibly stay away from them.
- Your narcissist partner will be continuously obsessed with themselves
- They seek constant approval
- They always assume that they are right
- They have some complex issues, mostly superiority complex
- They are super sensitive to slight criticism
In the beginning, a narcissist entangles others by showing excessive love or love bombarding you, treating you like a princess or fairy, and you consider the best partner. But in the end, they easily control you, are instantly jealous, and are easily offended by you.
In a shell of romance, they criticize you and devalue or disrespect you over trivial matters. They lose intimacy, and they start blackmailing you emotionally. This narcissistic attitude can damage your personality and self-esteem.
These traits erode your self-confidence:

- They ask all questions about and interrogate everything about you. You must feel what kind of person they are
- They part ways immediately after the negative comments by their friends and family. So, you have to be aware of that
- They take control of the relationship, so it’s up to you if you want to stay with them or away from them

Building new Relationships to cope with Narcissists:
Narcissists’ partners are self-absorbed; they focus on themselves without giving value and loving someone else. They need partners to satisfy their needs and fulfil their demands. You must grow a healthy relationship by caring for yourself, self-growth, and having a loving attitude and must know how to deal with Anxiety.
1. Walk away from Narcissistic relations:
If you are not feeling well and get hurt by them, it is the right time to leave them and start a new journey. Fighting and complaining will make things worse. So, it is better to walk over with such a relationship.
2. Set your Boundaries:
You have to set and clear your boundaries if your partner manipulates you. You must lower yourself by being vulnerable in a negative relationship. You must have the courage and strength to leave them if things are not right for you.
3. Your self-respect is much essential:
As we have discussed earlier, yourself is essential compared to anything else. You must protect it!
You have to be compassionate and positive about yourself. Always make healthy relations with positive people that uplift you in every situation. Don’t continue your relationship with an abusive partner or friends.
Recap!
It is easy for anyone to fall in love with narcissists, but their manipulative behavior will affect you in a certain way. They use you as a tool to satisfy their needs and fulfil their demand. It is better to get rid of them and make healthy relationships in the future.
