One of the most disorienting tactics narcissists use is gaslighting. When they start losing control, they may try to alter your perception of reality.
They’ll deny things you know happened, question your memory, or tell you you’re overreacting. This constant gaslighting is meant to make you question your own thoughts and experiences, eroding your confidence and making it easier for them to regain power.
Recognizing and Standing Strong Against Manipulation
Understanding these manipulative strategies is the first step to breaking free. It can be tricky to see through their tactics, especially if you’ve been under their influence for a while. However, once you recognize the patterns, their grip loosens.
The more aware you are of their methods, the less power they have over you. Breaking free from a narcissist’s hold is tough, but the peace that follows is worth the effort.
Reclaiming your strength is essential. Narcissists only have power over you when you allow it. By standing firm, setting boundaries, and trusting yourself, you’re cutting off their influence. It’s a challenging road, but every step you take strengthens your independence.
