Number 9: They lie about their feelings and intentions.
You’ll never really know what a narcissist is thinking or planning because there are no limits to what they’ll do to get what they want out of life. Sometimes that includes lying to other people’s faces… they often pretend to have feelings that they don’t have, such as love and empathy, to get what they want from a person.
A narcissist might tell you that he loves you when he wants your money. They have difficulty expressing their emotions correctly, so they say whatever they think you want to hear. If they feel sad, they might say they’re happy or narcissists pretend to be calm if they are angry.

Number 10: They lie when they say, “They’ll change for the better”.
This is a lie that many narcissists tell to gain the sympathy and trust from their victims. They will promise anything to make you think they have changed, but they never do. Narcissists don’t change because they feel entitled to be the way they are, so why would they try to change? Narcissists want to keep you around to continue to use you for their own benefit. They are incapable of change because their infatuation prevents them from seeing anything wrong with their behavior or personality.
They are also incapable of empathy, and therefore, unable to feel guilt or remorse over any hurtful things they may have done in the past or might do in the future, and not just little white lies, but outrageous lies designed to keep you under their thumbs and in their control. They differ in degree of obviousness and complexity. They serve many purposes but the motives behind the lie are always the same. A narcissistic supply source is maintained, verified, propped up, and protected.
