The one factor they conveniently overlook is telling the reality of what they do and who they’re – as a result of it’s all a part of the parts of their management and ABUSE! Extra TOOLS of the Narcissists commerce. Rewriting historical past, diverting, fixed mendacity, and deliberately denying what they’ve mentioned or completed, or because the meme says – poisonous Narcissistic amnesia.

From my E book – Greg Zaffuto – Creator – From Allure to Hurt and Every little thing else in Between with a Narcissist!
Their conversations and interactions will not be meant to attach or enlighten, however to confuse, deny, management, invalidate, and constantly create drama. They’re an enormous VOID, working to get no matter they’ll from you – principally they extort life and lives. They anticipate you to lend a listening ear and provides them full approval. They use emotional withdraw and silencing to create guilt, compliance, and management. They are going to betray private info and secrets and techniques to really feel extra highly effective. They are going to manipulate and use flattery or protests of their innocence (crying, pleading, and begging) like a stealth weapon to attain their agenda and get their manner.

Take into consideration this connection/relationship — on one facet of the spectrum there may be us ‘believing’ that there’s relevance and actuality to the connection. On the opposite facet is the Narcissist that doesn’t have ANY connection to us emotionally and our relevance is nothing greater than that of an object that serves them. Bear in mind they’ve MANY instruments they use that boils right down to horrendous manipulation, gaslighting, out and out lies, emotional and psychological abuse, and so forth. Clinically we name this cognitive dissonance – or as I merely put it – after we be taught that the reality is a lie, and the lies are the reality because it considerations a Narcissist.
OK so the nitty gritty that can assist you perceive how a human being may be like this! Narcissists don’t reside in the true world OR an actual world. Once more, they reside in their very own world made up of fantasy, lies, rewriting historical past, gaslighting, denial, delusions, deceit, and perversion. They’ve their very own actuality that everybody that has any a part of their life should settle for or they are going to be deemed loopy, punished, and even destroyed – sadly, we don’t see this instantly. They reside in a world the place they make up all the principles after which break all the principles. On this world everybody should suppose similar to them or higher but approve every thing that the Narcissist does with out query or prejudice. If you’re part of their life you possibly can by no means replicate upon YOUR individuality OR something that might reveal their id or ask for accountability.
As soon as once more to drive the purpose dwelling – dwelling or collaborating of their world will ALWAYS contain gas-lighting, betrayal, pathological mendacity, isolation, triangulation, backstabbing, smearing, silencing, isolation, excessive manipulation, and abuse to allow them to preserve their false id in place and set up management over their goal/sufferer. You consistently should tip toe across the Narcissist’s fragile ego to maintain them comfortable in order that their true id and nature doesn’t rear its ugly face. Dwelling of their world is like strolling by means of a subject of land mines or hidden bombs and also you by no means know when they’ll explode however once they do the Narcissist is all the time there detonating them! THERE IS NOTHING OF VALUE IN THIS CONNECTION OR RELATIONSHIP – besides saving your sanity and life by getting out and away from this abuser.
It’s a distorted land of make consider and every thing is ok so far as the Narcissist is anxious as a result of it completely serves them. BUT it’s a land of horrible secrets and techniques and painful lies. THE ONLY fact is a relative fact primarily based on what YOU could consider the connection actually is. YOUR relationship IS ONLY held collectively by means of worry, guilt, and obligation – that and being a supply of provide to this Narcissist till they discover a substitute.
The Narcissist sabotages every thing and everybody as a result of NOBODY may be higher or do higher than the NARCISSIT! It’s a place the place your goals will die rapidly, and your shallowness and self-worth die together with them. It’s a place the place friendship, household connections, care, or love exists in any respect! No/minimal contact. Data, schooling, and readability are crucial in beginning in your journey to restoration. Greg
