Painting Faulty Stories

A narcissist will paint a picture of themselves as being the victim or being innocent in all aspects. They will tell everyone how they were mistreated and how they did everything that they could to fix the problem, but then again, they shift the blame on the other person. A narcissist will feel no remorse for their actions. They have faulty beliefs that runs so deep that they will even reject their own child to make themselves look better. For a narcissist, it's all about creating the perfect image in hope others will only see what they are painting them to see. But the truth is, if you read between the lines and look at the canvas more deeply, you will find endless flaws. A narcissist is not smart enough to go deep with their emotions and anyone who has any emotional intelligence will read between the lines of a narcissist and will see the truth.

A narcissist will typically have a crowd of people cheering them on which make it challenging to identify them as who they're really are. The reason that narcissists seem to have more so-called friends is because a narcissist is not picky with their friendships, they will seek out anyone that will give them attention. A narcissist loves to tell their story. Their story can sometimes be far from the truth and they will be delusional about their situation. For example, a wife will tell their friends about their healthy marriage but in reality, their spouse is abusive and is emotionally unavailable to them. A narcissist will ignore the truth at all costs and will continue to paint a perfect picture of themselves.

If you grew up with a narcissistic parent, you probably never could have healthy conversations with them. A narcissist will gaslight and manipulate conversations. They will run from confrontation and avoid telling the truth. A narcissist is notorious for bringing the focus back on you and will bring up past situations where you may have been in the wrong or will make you feel guilty about something that you never did wrong. They will get mad at you for getting mad at them. A narcissist will do anything to take the focus off them and avoid taking responsibility. It's sad how far a narcissist will go to make themselves look better and to play the victim. They will intentionally hurt someone whose already been hurt. A narcissist will shut you out and tell others that you were the one who stopped all communication. They will put the blame on you and will tell others that you're the one being 'overly dramatic' or 'mentally ill' to make themselves look better. A true parent will want to understand their child's point of view and will do everything in their power to make things right with their child, but a narcissistic parent will sit back and watch their child suffer in order to maintain their image and to continue paining faulty stories.
