Why Narcissists Ruin Holidays and Events (And How to Protect Yourself)

Short Lesson:

A narcissist often shows up like the Grinch—drawing attention, creating tension, or sabotaging joy just when everything is going well. Holidays, parties, and family events aren’t about connection to them; they’re about control. When the focus isn’t on them, they stir drama, provoke arguments, or play the victim to regain the spotlight.

Getting smart means anticipating the behavior instead of being shocked by it. You don’t engage. You don’t explain. You protect your peace by setting emotional boundaries, limiting interaction, and having an exit plan. Awareness is power—and power keeps your joy intact.
