2. You’re Crazy.
Poor narcissist, accusing you of being insane is a standard gaslighting statement. It shifts the blame once more to you, and if you hear it enough times, you’ll start to doubt your own sanity. This might make you wonder if their narcissistic personality is all in your head. The fact that ordinary thinking people do not act like narcissist adds to this. As a result, you begin to question if you can trust your own judgments. Even if you feel they’re up to something bad, a sliver of doubt is typically enough to excuse their actions.
At its worst, it can persuade people that they are truly insane. This can be really upsetting. You’re crazy! Whether stated directly or implied in terms such as “you need treatment” might cause a person to question their sanity if repeated frequently and with confidence.
1. No One Will Ever Love You Like I Do.
It is stated that the sentence makes a victim feel fortunate to have the narcissist adoration because no one else could or would care about them. Keep in mind that when the narcissist in your life says stuff like this to gaslight you, that’s exactly what they’re doing. This doesn’t contain even a slight bit of truth. If you have any doubts, consider why you believe the narcissist is correct. Keep a diary. If you haven’t done so already, now is the time. Takedown whatever the narcissist says.
Seeing things in writing can help you see things more clearly. It frequently clarifies issues better than merely talking or thinking about them. Always keep in mind that narcissist is saying these things control you and keep you down. Don’t give the narcissist any satisfaction. You’ve become imprisoned in this never-ever zone when a loved one undermines your sense of reality because there isn’t anything solid to point to as terrible you end up blaming and pointing the finger at yourself. It hurts even more than physical abuse since they can see the wounds and know who did it.
Do any of these characteristics make sense for you? If this is the case, don’t be hesitant to get help because you deserve to be loved and respected.
