Half Dad, Half Misfit

  Saw this at the weekend, and holy cow, this is the perfect three-word phrase to pop a narcissists bubble in a moment. I think it's a "nuclear option" if you have to see them again, because although it would totally work in the moment, they will be unable to take ownership of the embarrassment/shame you briefly instill in them, and will somehow try to DARVO it onto you later. But it would be ideal for dealing with a one-off narcissist, like someone acting obnoxiously in public place such as a restaurant or shop - and far better if it comes from a anonymous bystander, than from the waiter/shop assistant themselves.

If you look into game theory, there are several types of game, e.g., negative sum and zero sum games. See  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory Simon Sinek then talks about finite and infinite games.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Infinite_Game ---- In a narcissistic relationship you are playing an infinite game; multiple rounds, and for each round, the  score mostly is negative, because they set you up with no-win situations.  (I'll admit they sprinkle in a few wins, just to keep you playing, a bit like a one-armed bandit does) I say negative score, because even when the narcissist "wins", they really aren't ever "happier" for it. How low can you go before you realise, like WOPR did, "The only winning move is not to play?"
