If you have ever encountered a relationship with a Narcissist rather it was a domestic partner, parent, sibling, friend, or an even co-worker.
You may have found yourself caught up and tangled in their web of lies.
I, myself have survived narcissistic abuse.
Attempting to assist or "fix" someone who refuses to acknowledge their damaging behaviors, regardless of whether they are aware of the impact of their actions and deceit towards you, is devastating, harmful, and unfair to you.
Subjecting yourself to such trauma starts to feel like a requirement and a heavy burden. You may feel guilty for even thinking about avoiding the toxic trauma that you have long endured from being around that toxic individual.
After a while- and usually before you even realize that you're dealing with narcissistic abuse... the trauma from the longevity of the abuse has robbed you of your peace and happiness because you subconsciously normalized their destructive abusive ways.
Which enabled the Narcissist unknowingly to you.
While you were confused and or distraught over their behavior, they were thriving... because their manipulation tactics were going unnoticed. Ultimately you became their playground and safety net for their image.
While subconsciously shrinking yourself to tolerate their toxicity. Your nervous system and self-esteem have taken a back seat ride... and somewhere along the way you discovered that you lost yourself...
Everything has become fixated around the abuser and their web of lies. Your time and effort have become invested in "fixing" and changing someone or a particular incident wrapped in a web of deceit.
Know that they never will take accountability for the deceit or the intentional inflicted trauma that they have caused you.
By the time you've spent trying to untangle and sort through being captive in all of those webs of lies, you never had the time to analyze that your abuser never has actually taken accountability.
Instead, the narcissist has "won" in their egotistic mind.
because what they set out to do was deflect from all of their deceitful ways by gas-lighting you into thinking that your reaction to their lies, reckless behavior and traumatizing ways were the issue.
When in actuality- they succeeded in shifting the spotlight off of themselves and onto you, so now their time is spent on convincing you that you're the problem. "Nagging, complaining, etc." and your time is now spent on defending yourself.
Once the narcissist has successfully succeeded into convincing you that you are actually the problem. And you subconsciously agree by defending yourself in that moment instead of being able to recognize the manipulation tactics used against you-- are you ready for what is next?
Because here comes the icing on top, just to finish you off.
To add insult to injury just to completely destroy you... to "win" this argument. They smear it in with lies- as if the truthful reality of their hurtful behavior wasn't enough.
The smear campaign... the lies. The narcissist will spread hurtful deceitful lies to anyone who will listen to them because now that they've convinced you that you are indeed the problem. They now need to convince everyone else that you're problematic.
Even with lies. You'd actually be surprised with lies that have been attached to your name. You are made out to be this awful human being. Unfortunately for us survivors we are the "root" of the problem.
It all boils back down to their ego, arrogance, lack of accountability. Their desperate need to protect their self-image by any means possible.
By sabotaging you and destroying your credibility before you even know that you need to defend your character. The reasoning?
They can never be perceived as doing anything wrong, the world can't know that they are not "perfect" they fear losing control, and having the Truth revealed- because that leaves them vulnerable and unmasked.
Even if that means that you're falling apart, hurt, distraught, and heartbroken they will sleep peacefully.
Remain nonchalant, then wake up and carry on with whatever task they are doing... like nothing is wrong.
The cycle continues until YOU realize that you're in a time loop of this abusive, draining, never-ending cycle of narcissistic abuse.
