It's all about control. They have the illusion that if they control everything and everyone around them, they will not have to face their fears of being alone to feel the repressed painful emotions of the child they once were.
But money alone, power, and control just buy them some time, eventually, something will trigger them, and it will erupt like a volcano, especially when they are old and fragile. Old age is the perfect trigger to bring to the surface all that they have been repressing throughout their lifetime.
Learning to let go and walking away from anyone who lacks the courage to face their fears of resolving childhood repression is the only way to be free and stay free.
How to sidestep narcissistic manipulation and gaslighting.
Narcissistic people use a range of covert and overt tactics to manipulate others.
As you read through the following list of eight devious tactics, you may wish to think of a narcissist in your life and identify if any of these tactics may have been used on you.
Projecting
Narcissists have a habit of accusing others of doing what, in fact, the narcissist is doing. For example:
- Narcissists who frequently lie will accuse you of being untrustworthy.
- Unreliable narcissists will claim that you are undependable and have let them down.
- Rageful narcissists will say that you’re the one who needs anger management.
Narcissists tend to be unaware of such hypocrisies. They accuse in an instant, and then become convinced of their accusations. Projecting allows them to avoid responsibility for their dysfunctional behavior while putting others on the defensive.
