The conversation with the narcissist went better than I expected. Yeah I got the "You need to be more responsible with your father's affairs" talk.
I didn't refute. I simply acknowledged my mistake, explained why it happened and gave my plan on how to rectify the situation. The situation was handled. The person was happy, I can go on about my day, all is right for now.
I acknowledged my mistake. Made a plan to fix it and a whole nasty conversation was avoided.
I know when I am wrong and don't have a problem admitting it. I'm also learning that I don't need nor should I go any further than that. The less I try to justify, defend and share my point of view the less ammunition it gives this person. I don't try any more. I don't need to. When I am wrong I will acknowledge it, fix it and move on.
You owned up to it. You admitted the mistake and had a way to solve the issue. You deflated the situation by simply being logical and factual. You controlled the entire situation. Being straightforward was the best approach and it worked perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIt took me so many years of my life to learn how to deal with this person. And I'm still learning. While in this process it is developing me to becoming more straight forward and controlled. I actually appreciate being able to see clearly all the things that has been said and done to me over the years and come to a point where I observe, process, deliver my truth, and go on. It is a good feeling knowing that I can see the truth, deliver it, and not worrying about what others think in regards to my truth.
