People side with the narcissist because the narcissist is playing games no one else even realises are happening.

-


It can feel devastating when people side with a narcissist against you. But it's important to understand: narcissists are expert game players. They create stories behind the scenes long before you realise what's happening.

While you're still trying to process their behaviour, they're busy shaping everyone else's opinions. They drop hints, twist facts, and plant seeds of doubt about your character. They act charming, reasonable, and concerned while portraying you as unstable, vindictive, or too sensitive. Because most people don't see the manipulation firsthand, they believe the narcissist's version of events.


This isn't because you've done something wrong. It's because narcissists are skilled at controlling perceptions. They prepare their audience in advance to see you as the problem so that when you eventually react out of frustration or pain, it seems to

"prove" their story.


Remember, the narcissist's games rely on secrecy and confusion. You don't have to play along. Focus on keeping your own integrity and gathering support from people who truly understand abuse dynamics.

People side with narcissists because they don't see the game.


But you don't have to carry the blame for lies you never agreed to live inside.

The narcissist will do everything in their power to destroy your happiness and the healing.

No matter how much you try to make the  relationship work, their main priority is how they look. The narcissist needs to maintain a sense of dominance by controlling how others perceive you. This is often accomplished by initiating smear campaigns about you to back up their story, to ensure their reputation isn't damaged. The narcissist will do everything in their power to destroy your happiness and healing that you are desperately seeking, no matter how much you try to make the relationship work their main priority is protecting how THEY look. Narcissists will always need to surround themselves with people who 'like' them, to continue to give them supply and they are called flying monkeys. Mere pawns in a narcissist's plan to maintain their control and power and to make you look like the crazy, insane person and to keep the narcissist in the supply they have become accustomed to because their mask must not slip! That is a narcissist's worst nightmare, and YO...

Narcissists claim their exes are crazy……

It’s easier than admitting they cheated on them repeatedly, lied to them daily, gaslit them constantly, bankrupted them financially, took away all their friends and family, controlled them coercively, hurt them emotionally, and then abandoned them once they'd drained them completely. Why Narcissists Call Their Exes Crazy??   When a narcissist ends a relationship, they rarely take accountability. Instead, they rewrite history. One of their favourite lines? "My ex is crazy." It's a convenient cover that hides a much darker truth—because it's far easier to blame someone else than to admit what they've done. Behind that label often lies a brutal story. One where the narcissist lied daily, cheated repeatedly, and gaslit their partner into questioning their own reality.  They isolated them from family and friends, took control of their finances, eroded their self-worth, and made them doubt their every move. All while appearing charming to the outside world. A...

As The Ex Spouse of a Narcissist

As the ex spouse of a narcissist, I had someone who talks at me, not with me.  Someone who needs me but does not respect me. A child who demands attention and has tantrums if he does not get it.  A person who does not listen and does not feel what others feel, or understand how others are affected by his behaviors. As the ex spouse of a narcissist, I must walk alone through my struggles, silently feeling my pain while no one sees it, no one sees  him . Nothing is mine or can be about me, he has to be the center of attention. In public, he wears a mask that no one can see through, but at home, the mask comes off and I am subjected to emotional abuse. As the ex spouse of a narcissist, I am the one with the problem—the one who is too sensitive, the one who cannot take a joke. I am the one who needs help, not him. He is not the problem; I am. I am because I see him for who he is and I cannot pretend anymore, and that is a problem. In social situations he would demean me ...
