I can't be exploited if I don't let someone exploit me.
For example, 50% of the time a family member who is NPD just sounds like an overblown buffoon. I bite my tongue. 25% I argue back with him. 25% I go away and take time away from him.
Sometimes we keep people in our lives and just ignore their bad behavior if it doesn't personally damage us.
Another example, an ex on FB. I can talk to him casually, see him on occasion, but not date him.
I am not ENABLING him. It is not my job to fix him or change him. I just keep healthy boundaries.
