You don't...stay FAR away! Their main objective is to get supply (admiration, attention, adoration - including blind loyalty, support, and sympathy) from people in order to feed the need to feel superior. They are deceptive liars, lacking sincerity, compassion and empathy. They will do anything to get what they want and are "extremely" toxic and destructive to themselves and others. Don't get sucked in...RUN!!!
First, you should read up on the disorder. There are dozens of good websites sponsored by well known hospitals and other respected institutions that sponsor web pages devoted to Narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder. If you have a good understanding of narcissism you will have the knowledge to deal with it more constructively. Here are a few pointers:
- do not think you can change them- especially by being helpful and doing their bidding- your kindness goes into a black hole
- do not allow them to treat you disrespectfully
- keep your distance- don't get too close and do not let them into your personal life- they may use the information to cause you harm later
- be practical about the disorder- you won't change them so step back whenever their narcissistic behavior rises to the surface
- define some limits- by not responding to inappropriate behavior you reinforce it
- avoid conflict
- do not try to argue or reason with them- your winning or convincing is counter to their world view- they will not allow it
- gain more understanding to enable you to work as constructively as possible
- give practical support when and if they ask for it and don't expect any more than momentary gratitude
