    Common Expressions of a Narcissist

    “I had them eating out of my hands.”
    (Believes in manipulating others to create results).

    “You didn’t let me finish what I was saying.”
    (After verbally maiming and then pretending there was more to say)

    “Just because I didn’t do what you wanted when you wanted it.”
    (A justification for receptively breaking promises)

    “Just because I didn’t say what you wanted to hear.”
    (A justification for verbal abuse)

    “You’re the only person who misunderstands what I say. You’re totally over-emotional.”
    (Same as above)

    “I’m sorry, what more do you want from me.”
    (Followed by justifications for the behaviour with body language that is clearly not aligned with an apology)

    “How many times do I have to say I’m sorry.”
    (Followed by repetitive unacceptable behaviour)

    “Why can’t you just get over the past?”
    (Followed by repetitive unacceptable behaviour)

    “What about your issues?”
    (When failing to take responsibility for unacceptable behaviour)

    “You make me behave like this.”
    (Same applies for above)

    “You’re the only person in the world I have these problems with.”
    (Same applies for above)

    “You act like my mother,” or, “You’re a control freak.”
    (When asked for the truth or trustworthy / accountable behaviour)


    Gaslighting Techniques used by the Narcissist

    Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse that is used by narcissists that is deeply insidious and difficult to pinpoint. It works by instilling confusion. If you are being gaslighted you'll lose trust in your senses, identity and common environment.

    The narcissist will tell you:

    What you are feeling and thinking;
    An interaction that you believed was decent with another person actually had agendas connected to it;
    Your body language appears suggestive to other people;
    A friend or family member has made certain references about you;
    You were seen in a certain place acting inappropriately;
    You said or did something (you weren’t aware of) when tired, distracted, unaware, intoxicated or asleep;
    Certain information was discovered about you;
    Certain people (you thought were loyal) are now agreeing about your faults;
    The incident (created by the narcissist) was your fault, or merely a perception based on your paranoia or unstable emotions;
    An excuse for the incidence based on a ‘story’ that extracts guilt from you, whereby you feel awful for making the ‘judgement’ you did;
    Other people perceive you as bossy, controlling, manipulative, uncaring, incapable etc. (defective in some way).

    I was half raised by a narcissist, I really don't think you are one

    We should all have a "healthy amount" of narcissism but a real narcissist, well they are well beyond a healthy amount and are quite toxic
