The lies by omission are really tricky ones. You get a story missing crucial details. When caught out, they "forgot", or "you weren't listening" or "if I'd told you, then you'd get angry/say no, so you're the one at fault". Enough to drive you quite mad, really.

We see this every day now in po li ti cs. Lying by omission to change the context and narratives regardless of how many people know and can now see the truth and can fact-check and call them out in real-time with ease. Probably why YT has to sensor and delete everyone's comments that expose the lies and false naratives. They can't handle being exposed for the lying evil they are.

Effective" tactics of lying by Narcs: 1. Creating false positive impressions 2. Showing curiosity about you 3. Openly stating, "I will not lie to you!" 4. Expressing disgust toward other known liars 5. Partially being true and vulnerable 6. Confessing, but with major caveat 7. Small lies to determine how far they can go with you 8. Making you feel guilty if you question them 9. Staying above psychological relevations entirely 10. Very skilled at hiding things 11. They just can't handle the truth Be aware: 》It's not a relationship 》You are just a prop!!! 》They are afraid of many things 》They are sitting on hidden rebellion 》They cannot manage a 2-way-communication 》They have lost sight of our shared humanity 》They just want an easy life 》》They miss the truth that love is built upon vulnerability!!!

The hidden rebellion thing is really where it's at, the #1 problem with these people. They're constantly, incessantly passive aggressive to the point where they lose all contact with reality as the rest of us know it. What you or I may think of as the simplest life interaction, for them is a huge ego challenge, kind of like "get them before they get me." Except they're just generally surly because the world hasn't already crowned them in glory, basically. And that's your fault. But they know they can't come right out and blast you about it, which infuriates them. So every face they meet is a challenge, to find some way to trick them into accepting punishment.

He was always Sly Sneeky Suspicious & Secretive. He would continually back me into a corner & his interrogations would start..... 'Who, What, When,Where Why & How', he would demand. I was under his microscope, being examined every which way...if he thought he hadn't got enough information he would instantly return & continue... It was the strangest & most cruel world.. I divorced him after 26 years, but that never stopped his lies. I believe as long as he lives he will continue lying. I always said that when he meets his Maker he will even try twisting His arm behind his back. Your teachings are awakening, descriptive, spot on...they back up what I lived through.

Thanks to your videos, I saw through the lies of a new boss almost immediately. Within 3 days, I knew exactly what I was hearing and seeing. These checklists are so helpful. I am releasing my life by walking away earlier. I can get on with living my dreams rather than being a tool for the narcissist to be supported in theirs. I WILL NOT waste any more of my life. Thanks, Dr C. Hugs to Gus xx

Narcissists enjoy seeing how many lies other people will believe. If you love and trust someone, their opportunities to enjoy their deceit are infinite. My narcissist ex even dropped in hints that he is a liar. He told me when we were first married that he really enjoyed reading a novel about two professional liars and wished he could lie as well as that. After he left me, and I'd discovered all his lies, he even had the cheek to lecture/gaslight me saying that I don't understand what a lie really is because there was always a grain of truth in everything he said!
@staat834Ай бұрын
Some of them become less effective liars with time as they are so sucked into their warped sense of reality they start to forget the world building they have fabricated around their BS. This is especially noticeable in more elderly narcissists where their memories can no longer keep up with their BS. I knew one narcissist who came up with at least 3 different fabrications of the same event but did not remember they have already lied before to me. NEVER point this out to the narcissist as it will trigger temper tantrums.

My covert narc parent is a super liar. My narc parent would tell us how much they hated lying!!! But meanwhile the narc lied about so much stuff and had us fooled for a long time. 🥴🥴 The narc loved to manipulate and control us too. The narc has smear campaigned my other parent (isn't a narc) to people that they are manipulative and other lies too. The narc has a lot of credibility with people, and my narc parent is so charming with people and therefore wins them over to their side. My narc parent has also done a super smear campaign about me. The narc's mother(my grandmother) was super manipulative, controlling and charming as well! My grandmother loved to intimidate me and others too!

OMG...

I just go about my business and dismiss it as self-pep talks or something. My god, he practices his lies.😮

My ex would write down little conversations he intended to have with women he cheated with. They were like scripts, and he'd reuse them on his next victim. To me it was so weird and upsetting. I'd find them on sticky notes, note pads, etc. I don't think he cared if I'd seen them.

Thank you sir, I want that peace too.. One of your video's a month ago was the one that left me pausing it many times just having my mouth wide open as I began to realize what had been happening to me over this 4 year marriage that divorce will be final at end of this month situation. So, thank you again I had no idea what was going on, and I have had 15 months of therapy 20 years ago involving codependency. My eyes are open now and each day without her is helping me find that peace as a Christian as well. I had all the red flags going off and I ignored them because she was so charming and claimed to be a Christian too. Thanks again for your video's sir.

Yeah...why is it a problem to ask questions? My dad taught me to always ask and there were no bad questions. My mom refused to ask me any questions (still avoids when she can), and made it clear that we were not supposed to ask anything about emotions, family dynamics, nor how to navigate difficult situations. In their minds, it is my fault i did not ask for what i needed or for clarification. Must be nice to so easily believe such black and white convinctions. No consideration whatsoever regarding whether I was safe or welcomed to do so, and no thought whatsoever of a parent's role in prompting their child to be reflective and assertive. 🙄😖🤦🏻♀️ Like i was literally trained to be submissive and then they blamed me for not being assertive enough, as if they didnt know, as if they didnt directly count on that for their narrative to function. 😐

Thank you for another informative video. I feel that a very big difference with narcissists and handling them comes from their relationship with you. One who comes into your sphere of acquaintance suddenly, like a sister's boyfriend, is one thing; while a much younger brother towards whom you have already a love/care feeling is quite another. The sister's boyfriend can be skillfully avoided, but the brother, whose difficult narcissistic characteristics didn't show up until his thirties, and with whom you have spent countless pleasant hours over the years, is a much more difficult problem, and a sad one.

Both my parents are narcs. They support each other in everything . The truth is they are fully aware they are lying and manipulating and they get a sadistic thrill in controlling and shocking and decimating their targets life . They high five each other supoort each others false narrative but yes , they absolutely are aware what they are doing to their target is to gain supply , to dominate to squash and destroy. They are dangerous when they meet each other . They know they are lying and doing wrong , it gives them a feeling of power to team up against the empath or healthy person . They get no thrill in hurting another narc or criminal . They go for the person they are most envious of and who they think they can destroy their good reputation . They consider that a " win " in their world .
