This is a short transcript excerpt from Anwar White's March 5, 2024 YouTube video "How to deal with a narcissist?" The speakers discuss ending a relationship with a narcissist, warning that any breakup may provoke a predictable "blow up" of unpredictable size. Key practical advice: give a brief, boundary-based statement, leave immediately, impose strict no-contact, assemble a trusted circle (preferably girlfriends rather than a male friend) to answer calls or the door, and be prepared that the ex may show up or spread cheating allegations.

Best of Brittany said. How. How do you end it with a narcissist without them blowing up? They're gonna blow up whatever you do. We just gotta figure out if it's gonna be a big blow up or a small blow up. And you can't predict that. All you can say is, I don't feel comfortable in this relationship anymore, so I'm gonna step out of it. But I want to wish you the best of luck. Then you need to go. No contact, because he's gonna try to bring you back. Yeah. And he might come to your house. If he knows you unexpectedly, you're gonna need to be surrounded by a circle of your tribe and your friends. Specifically girlfriends.
Yeah, that's usually easier if you. If you have a guy friend, he's gonna. The reason why I say that is because if you have a guy friend, you're gonna. He's gonna say you were cheating with me this entire time, blah, blah, blah, blah. So then he has a story, and then he's gonna tell everybody that you were cheating on him. That's why I say have two or three girlfriends that you're around or stay with them or have them be at your house so that when he does come over and he will. Or if he does call, you can give the phone to them or they can answer the door. He won't know what to do with that.
