6. Shifting blame.
This is one of the bad narcissist mind games they always use on a victim is, “shifting blame.” They are good at shifting blame. This is really their specialty and they are smooth as ice. No matter how horrific their behavior is, no matter how many times they do it, and no matter how many times they get caught red-handed doing the same horrible thing. It will be someone else’s fault, or it will be because of some unforeseen circumstance, but it will not ever be their fault.
They twist and manipulate the truth so much that it can make you dizzy. What’s even more infuriating is so many times, they will manage to shift blame to you for what they did. They acted abusively and did something terrible to you. And when caught, now of all of a sudden, it’s your fault, and they are adamant that this is your fault. They seem so convinced that if you do not understand what they are doing, many times, you will eventually accept the blame.
Many times, a victim will end up apologizing for whatever it is that the narcissist is guilty of or what made the narcissist do it. And, of course, you have nothing to do with it, and you certainly aren’t responsible for it. But remember, at the heart of narcissistic abuse is psychological abuse, and this takes place over time.
It’s insidious, it’s gradual, but if you are exposed to psychological abuse long enough, things like this are going to happen. your mind and your thinking can be manipulated so badly that you eventually believe you are to blame for how the narcissist behaves.
7. Neuro linguistic programming.
Another really disturbing form of mind control that many narcissists and sociopaths are using on other people, especially a target that they are wanting to sleep with. And it’s being promoted in different books about seduction, is NLP programming or neural-linguistic programming.
Basically, NLP is the use of perceptual behavioral and communication techniques to make it easier for people to change their thoughts and their actions. NLP can be and is being used in really wonderful and positive ways to help other people.
But unfortunately, when the information gets into the wrong people’s hands, they use it for their own personal desires, which can harm another person if they don’t know that these techniques are being used on them.
