5. Feigned ignorance.
It seems like you can’t trust narcissists with anything. Well, there is something you, unfortunately, can trust a narcissist for. It’s that they will always have an excuse ready as to why they aren’t responsible for whatever they did wrong. They’ll often play dumb and pretend to be innocent so they can get away with their bad behavior.
They will manipulate you into thinking that they didn’t mean it or didn’t know any better. And once you forgive them, and you’ve convinced yourself that they’re a good person who simply made a mistake, they just stab you in the back and repeat the process.
6. Playing the victim.
Remember how we said a narcissist will always use empathy as a weapon? This is how they do it. Generally, we know and feel that the right thing to do for fellow humans showing distress is to extend compassion and understanding.
Unfortunately, if this is given to a narcissist, it’s a flashing neon sign to let them exploit you. Did they make a mistake or a big mess of things? Maybe they did something wrong or hurtful. Well, they tell you, it’s not me that was in the wrong, it was someone else. This is usually the victim, by the way.
The entire world and cosmos have treated me unfairly, they’ll say. It’s in this way they keep fishing for and siphoning compassion and pandering from you, the caring human being.
