If you point out how they've mistreated you, they'll tell you that you pushed them to act that way. If you point out how they've hurt you, they'll tell you that you're too sensitive. If you point out their lies, they'll shift the focus from their insincerity to say that they don't appreciate your "attitude". And that's what happens with narcissists. You can never win.

Don’t tell them how people might react; instead, ask probing questions. Narcissists are much more likely to act on ideas that they think they thought up themselves.
It means finding common ground with the person you're talking to and showing that you understand their point of view. When you talk about things that the other person is interested in, they're more likely to be engaged in the conversation and to feel like you're on their side.
