Number 1: Narcissists lie when they compliment you.
Narcissists love to compliment their victims, but what they’re doing is making you feel insignificant. They want you to feel insecure and comfortable with the idea that you’re not good enough for them… The only way to do that is by telling lies about how great you are and you’ll be more likely to agree with whatever they say.
When narcissists compliment you, they’re not really paying you a compliment, they’re just saying what they think will make you feel good. And in return, they’ll expect you to feel good about them. You probably feel weird about that compliment because it doesn’t feel real, It’s not coming from a place of genuine care… it’s coming from somewhere else, which isn’t as good for you.
Number 2: They fake apologies.
Narcissists will apologize when it benefits them somehow, but don’t expect any real remorse. They are very good at saying “I’m sorry” when they aren’t. It’s not that they don’t feel bad, they do, but they only feel bad because they got caught. Now, they have to pretend they care about what you think of them.
A narcissist will apologize to you when they’ve been caught doing something wrong, but it’s never sincere. Saying sorry is just an easy way for them to get out of trouble without actually having to do anything about it. It’s just a way for them to save face and ensure that you don’t leave them.
Number 3: Narcissists lie when they make promises about the future.
Narcissists know that making promises about the future will make their victims more likely to stick around, so that’s exactly what they do, even though they have no intention of following through on those promises. They don’t think of their words as lies, they think of them as ways to keep you under their control.
Narcissists are very good at making you feel special, but that doesn’t mean they will follow through on what. They tell you they will say whatever it takes to get their way and make themselves look good, but once they have what they want or when something better comes along, all bets are off.
