@matthiasjbarker: Narcissists are skilled at twisting the truth to serve their own purposes. They take bits of reality, shuffle them around, and emphasize certain parts to manipulate the situation. And by bending the truth just enough, they can even make you start doubting your own memories and feelings. Have you ever been in a situation like this? Let's talk about it in the comments. #narcissism #narcissist #narcissistic #narcissismawareness
My overthinking and too-understanding brain says “maybe they’re truly just remembering the events differently than me…”

It is scary and the level of cognitive dissonance is confusing, leaving one feeling powerless but that is not true. No one can take our power to be free

Amazing video. The constant invalidation and twisting of your personal experience will slowly destroy your mental health. So well explained.

What about when they dismiss their actions by saying “you know how I get when I’m drinking” like that makes it ok
