People that are narcissistic are masters of manipulation that are able to control and take over the lives of people around them very easily. They’ll use any tactic they can find to make things go the way they want them to in order to find the best possible outcome for themselves.

They often surround themselves by optimistic and kind individuals by leading them to believe that they’re of similar personality types. The difference is, kind people will only be genuine with their compliments. Narcissists use compliments as a way to trick you into a friendship or relationship. They don’t necessarily mean everything that they say, but they’re no match for a strong woman who knows when nice words aren’t genuine.

Independent women are able to recognize when someone is trying to dupe them. They know their own worth and know when someone isn’t being genuine. They’ll kick narcissist right to the curb at the first sight of mistrust.

They’re always willing to blame others for their own mistakes. Admitting that they were the ones that did something wrong is not an option for a narcissist. Unless they can spin it in their favor and use it to manipulate you, you’ll never see them saying sorry.

However, strong women never let others use them in this way. Strong women know how to admit their own guilt, but demand the same respect from those around them. They won’t allow narcissists to use them as a scapegoat. Narcissists may avoid strong women because they aren’t able to use them as their own personal dumping ground.

They falsely lead their partners to believe that there’s a future ahead of them. They manipulate their significant others until they have no choice but to stay with them. If you’re a victim of a narcissist, you’ll be planning your future together in no time without realizing that the commitment isn’t actually there from your partner’s end.

But strong women know not to trust just anybody. They don’t follow by words, but rather listen to the actions of the other person. They expect promises to be followed through.

The reason why they’re so good at controlling those around them is that they have mastered the art of manipulation and can change their behavior in order to change the outcome of a situation.

However, if you’re a strong woman, you know how to avoid being manipulated. If you have a difference in opinion, you never give in to the opposition. Even those who are amazing at manipulation will not be able to swing your behavior or actions if you’re strong.

In order for them to feel like they’re the best, they must bring down the morale of everyone around them. They often insult others, undermine them, bring them down, or use their flaws as an attack against them. They use everything in their power to bring others down when they are feeling down themselves.

But strong women aren’t so easily influenced by this behavior. Since they know their worth, they can’t be impacted by petty insults and arguments. Because strong women are aware of their flaws and work on them every day, they cannot be used against them.

Narcissistic people often have many different personalities that they will bring out at different times. When you’re alone, they might seem agreeable, but when you get in public, they may change their opinions and alter their mindset to please others.

Strong women, on the other hand, never allow those around them to flip-flop behaviors. They expect you to be the same person at all times, no matter where you are. They may even publicly call out the narcissist in front of everyone in order to expose their true nature.

When you catch a narcissistic person lying, they’ll flip the script on you. They’ll begin attacking you to defend themselves and stray so far away from the point that you won’t remember what you’re fighting about. They turn the tables quite quickly in order to deflect from their own wrongdoing.

But strong women won’t give up that easily, and won’t allow the person to make the argument about something it’s not. Strong women will stand their ground in a debate and stick to the original issue.

They try to hide behind their own bad behaviors by playing the victim. They make excuses for why they’re acting a certain way, and try to play on your empathy to make you feel bad of them.

However, even though strong women possess empathy, they can’t be duped into believing that someone is the victim when they are not. They won’t be distracted into feeling bad for someone when they should actually be mad at them.
