Number 9: You’re making stuff up.
Be careful of this one! This line is as sneaky as it gets. A narcissist can try shifting your reality just as well as your memory. It won’t be noticeable at first, but it gets to a point where your beliefs and cognitive thinking are shaken later. Narcissists can’t be bothered by the truth. These kinds of people believe unwaveringly in their perspective; that is why it is essential to stick to the people who are true to their words and actions.

Number 10: You’re overreacting, you’re too sensitive, or you’re the only one who thinks that.
Narcissists are skilled at manipulating others. Their responses, when called out, arise with invalidation. They are prime examples of listening to react than to understand. These are narcissists’ ways of beating you even if you have not finished your point. They can make you feel like you are blowing things out of proportion, making you question your ground on the situation and your self-esteem. This last line can slowly send a person to chronic trauma and dysphoria of their reality.
By now, you might recognize some of these famous narcissistic blows. Words indeed hurt deep. It is essential to be vigilant during a conversation with a narcissist. One’s interactions greatly influence our perspective and belief. There is no limit to how much one can fall into a narcissist’s manipulation. We can only fend for ourselves when we believe in our truths. So whenever a narcissist throws any of these at you, remember where you stand in this dynamic. Don’t let the dynamic define you.
