Narcissistic Ploys & Tactics
Everything a narcissist, sociopath, or psychopath says or does is a magic trick to distract you from the the reality and the truth of what he’s up to..
There isn’t a moment in the day that a LIE isn’t coming out of his mouth. Many of us have heard the joke, “How can you tell a narcissist is lying?” BECAUSE HIS MOUTH IS OPEN! ….makes sense, doesn’t it?. It’s all smoke and mirrors, a sleight of hand, a devious magic trick used by the narcissist to distract you from what’s really going on. You may have heard this referred to as gaslighting – a narcissistic ploy that makes the victim feel like she’s losing her mind, that everything is in her imagination, that she’s wrong, wrong, wrong….
When a narcissist partner is being nice, it’s because he’s got a devastating Discard planned for you in the very near future. When a narcissistic partner accuses you of something, it’s because that is exactly what he’s up to after hours. When he suddenly gets sick or doesn’t feel good out-of-the-blue, it’s because you just said something or alluded to something that he’s guilty of (remember that the next time he feigns a migraine…what was the last thing you said??).
When you’re involved with a someone with a narcissist personality, nothing – and I mean nothing – is as it seems and everything is intended to be a distraction from the real thing. You’ll always have that nagging feeling that something is very wrong behind the scenes. Although this sounds confusing, it’s really quite simple. Once you realize the smoke and mirrors as fact, you are well on your way to knowing exactly what the monster is up to during any given moment. The more you know what he’s up to, the more likely you’ll be to go no contact without falling apart from the get-go.
You will learn to read between the narcissistic lines.
