I would add an eleventh
- When you are dealing with a narcissist or toxic person, grey rock (see below) them. What they want is attention. Give them silence or as close as possible to it that you can manage. I have told toxic people in the past ‘I don’t do drama. Jog on.’ Sometimes people just want a stage and an audience for their drama. If you don’t provide that, they tend to move on to someone who will.
