3. Clearly communicate how their actions affect you

Since people with narcissistic personality disorder may be less likely to realize how their behaviors affect you, it’s very important that you make your concerns heard. While your reaction may be to stay quiet for the sake of “keeping the peace”, this may work against you in the end.
