The article explores how narcissistic partners manipulate reality to maintain power and control in relationships. They often create cognitive distortions that prompt their partners to doubt their memories and perceptions, positioning themselves as the victim and avoiding accountability. This manipulation creates an emotional and psychological imbalance that adversely affects the victim's self-esteem and sense of reality. Through a cited example, the article illustrates how a narcissist's insistence can lead their partner to question their experiences, resulting in confusion and reliance on the narcissist's version of events.
A narcissist's cognitive distortions allow them to rewrite history, positioning themselves as victims while prompting you to doubt your reality and judgments.
Narcissists manipulate perceptions, making you question your memories, ultimately leading you to feel uncertain, less self-assured, and defer to their distorted realities.
Through systematic distortion, a narcissistic partner often evades responsibility by portraying themselves as victims, turning the narrative to avoid accountability.
When led to doubt your understanding, the narcissistic partner gains control, diminishing your confidence and creating a sense of dependence based on insecurity.
