i grew up around an actual narcissist. i know what it looks like. i know what they sound like. the person i was around sounded like a really good sales rep. i know how good they are at getting people to believe them when they are wrong. i know how people fall for them. y’all
i watched my dad… lie. about everything. convincing others was effortless. he continued to leave traces of harm but his words always got him covered. people took care of him routinely, even now. the blame was on everyone else. there’s this constant search for power
there’s no reasoning besides there’s. controlling. self centered. calculating. they will never admit they are wrong. they call everyone around them crazy. they leave wild stories about everyone to others and then everyone’s at war and they disappear
you don’t understand the extremes to which they will go just to “protect” their image/name/who they seem to be. there’s either rage when challenged or exceptional cool denial. everything is about them. they are the center, never the ones speaking. i see it
