I didn't pick up his calls , and now he is threatening me that I'm sorry but it will cost you , what will I respond
This sounds like a tense situation! Here are some ways to respond, depending on the context:
If it's a friend/colleague being dramatic:
"Hey, sorry I missed your calls - I was busy. What's up?"
If it's someone you want to set a boundary with:
"I'm sorry I missed your calls. Threatening me isn't a great way to get my attention. If you want to talk, speak to me respectfully."
If it's a professional/work situation:
"Apologies for missing your calls - I was unavailable. I'm free now if you'd like to discuss whatever is on your mind."
If the threat feels serious or intimidating:
"I didn't answer because I was busy, not to ignore you. But threatening me isn't okay. If you have something important to say, say it calmly."
If you want to stay neutral and calm:
"I'm sorry I missed your calls. I'm available now - what did you want to talk about?"
A few tips:
- Stay calm - don't match their energy with anger
- Don't apologize excessively - missing a call is not a crime
- If the threat feels genuinely dangerous, screenshot the messages and consider telling someone you trust or contacting authorities
Would you like help crafting a specific response based on who this person is to you?
No I'm talking about a narcissist case that we discuss yesterday,
I don't have memory of previous conversations - each session starts fresh for me, so I don't have context from yesterday's discussion.
Could you give me a quick recap? For example:
- Who is this person to you? (ex-partner, family member, coworker)
- What's the dynamic? (are you trying to go no-contact, set boundaries, escape the relationship?)
- What exactly did they say? (the threat - word for word if possible)
With that context, I can give you a much more targeted response strategy for dealing with a narcissist specifically.
