How to Respond to a Narcissist’s Online Smear Campaign

Facing an online smear campaign by a narcissist can be overwhelming, but a thoughtful response is key to protecting your reputation. Start by staying calm and avoiding emotional reactions, as engaging directly often worsens the situation. Instead, document all harmful content—take screenshots, save URLs, and note dates to build a clear record of the attacks. Next, assess the extent of the damage by identifying where the defamatory material appears and its visibility. Update your social media privacy settings to prevent further personal information from being exploited. For effective and lasting solutions, work with a professional service like Reputation Return.
