The Language of Narcissists: A Masterclass in Distortion
Ever felt like you’re losing your grip on reality after a conversation with someone? You might be dealing with a narcissist. Their language isn’t just words—it’s a weapon. Here’s how they manipulate and distort:
Gaslighting: “That never happened.” “You’re imagining things.”
They make you doubt your memories, twisting events until you question your own sanity.
Shifting Blame: “It’s your fault I reacted this way.”
They turn their wrongs into your responsibility, avoiding accountability at all costs.
Word Salad: Circular arguments, vague responses, and confusing language leave you exhausted and off-balance.
Minimising Your Feelings: “You’re too sensitive.”
They dismiss your emotions, making you feel like you’re the problem for expressing them.
Rewriting History: They’ll spin the narrative, making themselves the hero or victim while you’re painted as the villain.
The result? Confusion, self-doubt, and a warped sense of reality.
If this resonates, remember: their reality isn’t your reality. Trust your intuition, set boundaries, and prioritise your mental health.
