One is not understanding that they are more than just stubborn or difficult people. Not recognizing Narcissism can impact your life and your relationship with them. Not taking a firm stand for yourself and letting them not adhere to boundaries. Not understanding/ resisting their manipulative/ gaslighting efforts is a problem too.
Expert opinion from Alex T. Thomas

The following are the worst things that you might try to do while dealing with narcissists: – Beating them at their own game. – Taking them at face value. – Minimizing their outrageous behavior. – Justifying yourself. – Expecting loyalty and expecting them to own their part.

Don’t give them ammunition. Avoid them at face value. No need to justify or explain yourself. Do not minimize their outrageous behavior. Avoid expecting them to own their part. Do not expect loyalty.
