HealthHow To Deal With A Narcissist In 2026 by johnwick86(op): 10:21am On Jan 05
Dealing with a narcissistic person at work or in a group requires wisdom, structure, and emotional discipline. You cannot change them—but you can manage your exposure and protect your influence.

Below is a clear, practical, and safe approach.

1. Understand the Narcissistic Pattern (So You Don’t Take It Personally)

Common traits:

Excessive need for admiration

Lack of empathy

Takes credit, avoids blame

Gaslighting (“That never happened”)

Manipulation and control

Devalues others to feel superior


👉 Their behavior is about control, not truth.


2. Do Not Feed the Ego

Narcissists thrive on:

Emotional reactions

Arguments

Validation (even negative attention)


Your strategy:

Be calm, neutral, and boring (the “grey rock” method)

No over-explaining

No emotional displays


3. Keep Communication Strictly Professional

Talk only about work/tasks

Avoid personal opinions or feelings

Use written communication whenever possible


Example:

* “Based on the project timeline, this task is due Friday.”



Facts > emotions.


4. Set Non-Negotiable Boundaries

Boundaries are essential.

Firm but respectful phrases:

“I’m not available for that.”

“Let’s keep this discussion focused on the task.”

“That doesn’t work for me.”


Say it once. Do not justify or debate.


5. Never Confront Them Publicly

Public exposure often leads to:

Rage

Smear campaigns

Retaliation


If you must address issues:

Do it privately

Keep it factual

Stay unemotional


6. Document Everything

This is critical with narcissists.

Dates, words, actions

Emails, messages, meeting notes

Witnesses


📌 Documentation is your shield.


7. Do Not Try to “Win” or Change Them

You will lose energy and peace.

Avoid power struggles

Don’t prove your worth

Don’t seek fairness from someone who lacks empathy


Your goal: Stability and self-protection.


8. Build Allies Quietly

Maintain strong professional relationships

Let your work speak for you

Stay consistent and credible


Over time, patterns reveal themselves without you speaking much.


9. Use Strategic Responses (Not Emotional Ones)

When they take credit:

*“Just to clarify, the data analysis was completed by me on Tuesday.”



When they gaslight:

* “I’ll follow up with a summary email to ensure alignment.”



When they provoke:

*“Noted.” / “Understood.”



Short. Calm. Final.


10. Know When to Escalate—or Exit

Escalate if:

It affects performance or mental health

There’s bullying, harassment, or sabotage


Exit if:

Leadership protects the narcissist

The environment damages your well-being


Leaving is not failure—it’s wisdom.


11. In Group Settings

Do not challenge their dominance openly

Redirect attention to facts and goals

Speak once, clearly, then disengage


Example:

*“The agenda item is X; can we return to that?”



12. Inner Strength Matters

Narcissists lose power over people who:

Know their worth

Stay emotionally regulated

Refuse to be controlled


Biblical wisdom (optional):

* “Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” — Matthew 10:16


Final Truth

You don’t defeat narcissists by exposure or argument.
You defeat them by clarity, boundaries, consistency, and emotional control.

Why are they furious? When they have literally sold their conscience and their voice over political jollof rice , now their escorts have been taken away from them and they are now vulnerable and prone to attack let them feel what the masses are feeling with insecurities ravaging the land .
But come to think of it in saner climes they don't move with escorts except private guards .the president is more concern about his family and not the rubber stamped Senate... let them continue to stand on his mandate .awon radarada

Health5 Truths About Men Who See Their Birthdays As A Normal Day by johnwick86(op): 9:45am On Dec 10, 2025
Physiological Truths About Men Who Treat Their Birthdays Like a Normal Day
1. They’re used to doing life alone.
From childhood, nobody really made a big deal out of their special moments — so they learned not to expect anything.

2. They’re naturally low-maintenance.
Gifts, parties, noise — it’s never been their thing. Peace is their real celebration.

3. They pour into others more than they receive.
They’re the “strong one,” the one everyone calls… but when it’s their turn, they don’t want to feel like a burden.

4. They’ve learned to make themselves happy.
A quiet meal, a prayer, a moment alone — it’s enough. They’re used to creating their own joy.

5. They measure life in progress, not dates. To them, a new year is not about cake 🎂 it’s about whether they’ve grown, improved, or achieved.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Bank Loan Recovery Suspension by johnwick86: 10:46pm On Dec 08, 2025
My brother commercial banks huh? Report them to CBN , human rights , that is breach of trust like I said except you are part of the scheme. As a commercial bank they ought to know the regulations guiding against loans .
You are not obliged to do recovery because there's an arm in every money lending institution. Withholding your salary is criminal offence or maybe your employment letter states that you will be held liable for any loss to the bank that is why always consult a lawyer when you get employed






Mrschiago:
It is a commercial bank
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Bank Loan Recovery Suspension by johnwick86: 8:43pm On Dec 08, 2025
I guess it is an MFB nah them sabi this kind of nonsense.
First your job as a sales person is to bring business to the bank , they did their verification, it went through CAM , the risk department vetted and approved it by declaring the customer credit worthy , management approved for disbursement then you have no case except you are part of the game .
Now placing you on a loan recovery mission let me ask what happened to the recovery department? What happened to insurance on the loan ? What happened to his / her guarantor?,
Institute a legal proceedings on the breach of your fundamental rights by withholding your salary .
I am speaking from experience during my time with an MFB , they are very complicent most especially all these unit micro finance bank






Mrschiago:
NL fam please we need your assistance here.

I work with a bank, and gave out bank loan to a customer.

The customer used the bank’s money which was supposed to be for his business to travel abroad.
Immediately after he got the loan, he closed down his business, and due to this japa, he has been unreachable, and has refused to pay back.

I have been placed on indefinite loan recovery suspension without pay, until Ithe customer is able to pay up the money.

I’ve tried to reach out to the embassy to no avail.

Thanks

I've heard about Korapay. If you have their website, post it.

Thank you
BusinessRe: Paystack Is Not A Reliable Company by johnwick86: 9:11am On Nov 14, 2025
Why not try coralpay technologies they are very good ,reliable with products that can suit your business needs.
They are cbn lincensed switching and processing,payments solution company .
You can reach out to them to discuss business and payment solutions for your business.

musicwriter:
I've been using paystack to receive payment from my customers for about 5 years now. There wasn't much problem, except occasional delays in payment. The company generally struggles with paying merchants promptly.

Funny enough, before I signed up for paystack, I actually checked online on sites like trust pilot to see whether the company is reliable, and I saw that the company has a bad reputation, especially when it comes to paying merchants.
You can see their poor rating for yourself on trust pilot site.

But I thought maybe the people rating them negatively were people who committed fraud or people with bad blood. But I was wrong.

Now. I know better.

Paystack is actually that bad. The same thing people were and are still complaining against them is exactly what I am facing now.

Since October 22nd, one of their staff wrote me that my account is under review. Ever since October 31st, Paystack has withheld all my earnings and won't give me my money. Before I forget, my account has been reviewed several times by them in the past and certified ok.

Also , note that for the 5 years I've been using paystack, I've never had a single charge back from a customer (not saying that charge back is a crime). Nobody has ever complained about my product or service or asked for a refund or things like that. I've made hundreds of sales and has a clean record with them. So, there's no sane reason they shouldn't trust me other than they have no respect for merchants.

The attached dashboard is a payment for an advert placement on our website. The advert has been running ever since but I am yet to receive the money. It's showing "pending" for about 2 weeks now.

Finally, note that I have another account with them, which is also with "pending" money donated by a fan who supported the fundraising for my documentary project. Those of you who follow me here or have read my book is familiar with my documentary fundraising, which I made an appeal at the end of the book.

They won't allow people support the project. People are willing to donate a lot of money to support the documentary project but they won't let them pay. More than 99% of payments fail on Paystack. I've even tested it with my own Mastercard but it was declined!! Paystack is not a good payment gateway.

PoliticsRe: "Let's Forget About Genocide" - Primate Ayodele Tells Congregation by johnwick86: 9:56pm On Nov 05, 2025
Am deeply ashamed by the rhetoric being used by the supposed father of faith in nigeria because it has not happened In their region there is no genocide be it Christians or Muslims there's genocide against humanity.
Tribalism has eaten into the very fabric of christendom that pastors and spiritual leaders now lie just to find favor with the government of the day .
That is why we are loosing my souls to traditionalist practices and Christians are being mocked and killed all because the fathers of faith have failed they are now business men.
God have mercy upon them every lives matters we need other religion to be able to preach and convert them to christ


[quoqte author=Righteousness2 post=137372524]What a Messs and a Disgrace of the Christendom..

Be you a Bishop, pastor, Rev or whatever title or position you claim to be, Whosoever Denies or waters down the Genocide of Christians Especially in the North is a Servant of the Devil.

Indeed we are in the End of the Endtimes.

PoliticsRe: Iyaloja-General alien To Benin Culture - Oba Of Benin to Tinubu's Daughter by johnwick86: 10:10pm On Oct 01, 2025
My dear nairalander I believe you knowledgeable please kindly read the statement of the oba of Benin again for understanding.
It clearly states that nothing like iyaloja general and it is alien to the Benin culture, and that every market in Benin has an iyeki and there's nothing like iyeki general which simply means in plain terms one market leader can not control another market they are all independent of their own .
So don't start a narrative to endorse the criminality to perpetuate agberoism through market leadership








ChiefOloye:
Are you sure you understand what read or you just allowed Sahara to use your head?
The Oba didn't say she is not Iyaloja, "Iyaloja" is a Yoruba word, the Benin variant is "iyeki" which implies that Mrs. Folashade could be referred to as Iyeki General, while she on the soil of Benin Kingdom. That's neither rejection nor confrontation, as Sahara wants you to believe, but a simple call for cultural respect and acceptance.

EmekaEnwere:
It still amazes me how people keep stressing themselves with dishes, decoders, and all those monthly bills. Honestly, once you have a smart TV (or even just a phone or laptop) and reliable internet, you don’t need all that hardware anymore.

I’ve been watching live football, movies, and entertainment from across the world without any decoder in my house. No dish on my roof, no technician drama. Just an app, my TV, and internet. The sweetest part? I only paid once and that’s it for the whole year. No constant renewal headaches.

It feels like freedom. DSTV can’t keep holding us to ransom forever. Technology has already given us a way out.

If you’re still tied to cables and dishes, you’ll soon realize how unnecessary they are. A smart TV and internet connection is honestly all you need.
