A. Before digging into how to deal with a narcissistic girlfriend, let's first take a look at the signs.

1. The most common sign of narcissism is an inflated sense of self - importance. If your girlfriend is a narcissist, she would want to seek validation from you every now and then. A self- confident and strong woman won't really even ask for you to keep praising her because she knows her worth. However, if she is a narcissist, all that she'd expect from you is excessive admiration. Does Yoga Make You A Self-Centred Egoistic Narcissist? Yes Says Study.

2. Another important sign to notice is whether she brags only about herself. Every time you guys sit and have a conversation, it's always about her. Whether you're on a movie date or a dinner date or just casually hanging out with your friends, all that she does is talk about herself. Its one thing to discuss how your day went but its totally narcissistic of her to only brag about herself.

3. Narcissistic people don't really have any friends. They might randomly want to start up a conversation with just anyone and need we say, its always about them. Even if the other person has something to say about themselves, your narcissistic girlfriend will make sure she somehow connects the dots and starts talking about her experiences rather than hearing out what the other person has to say.

So You Are Dating a Narcissist! Now What?

Well, it can be pretty difficult to easily let go off her because when you bring up the word "break up" chances are less likely that she will end it peacefully. Your narcissistic girlfriend would be filled with rage, anger, despise and jealousy. So we'd suggest the best way to end things would be to completely cut off all ties. It may seem like an act of cowardice but think of it this way; If you do try and explain yourself, your reasons will fall on deaf ears. However, if you think its an extreme step and you love her dearly, you could always try and change yourself according to her whims and fancies.
