6 Things Narcissists Say And Why
Every accusation out of a narcissist's mouth is really a confession to their own wickedness.
During a relationship with a narcissist, at first, you usually don’t realize when you are being subjected to abuse. Typically, you first become aware that your partner has stopped being as loving as they were at the beginning of the relationship. In spite of all of your undaunted efforts to cater to your partner’s increasing complaints and demands, it’s never enough to resurrect the relationship.
You then begin Googling questions in an effort to determine why your partner acts a certain way. You desperately need to understand why you are constantly being told you are an awful person. No one has ever talked to you this way before.
Narcissists hurt people in many ways. They lie, cheat, steal, and manipulate to get their needs met. They consistently employ these toxic patterns without any true regard for how they impact other people.
The favorite tool of the narcissist is projection.
Narcissistic projection occurs when the narcissist can’t handle certain feelings or experiences. It happens more often than you probably realize, and they use projection to disown their own maladaptive behaviors and transfer them onto you.
