The narcissistic perverts are like parasites that cling to you.
You may know one without knowing it … A narcissistic pervert uses psychological manipulation to take control of others. He has an immense need to be admired and believes himself superior. Unable to empathy, he cannot put himself in the place of others or understand their feelings. Its objective is to dominate and exploit its victims, often with a purely personal purpose, without any remorse.
“”The narcissistic perverts are like parasites that cling to you and empty you of your substance, then when you are no longer useful, they throw you. This is called the narcissistic abuse cycle“Explains Silvi Saxena, social worker and therapist, on the Choosing Therapy platform. To maintain their grip, they use formidable manipulation techniques. One of the best known is” Gaslighting “, a type of emotional abuse that makes you doubt your own reality.
Gaslighting is seen in particular in the way of speaking. Apparently banal, the sentences they use are powerful manipulation tools. A narcissistic pervert will often use a sentence like: “You make movies, it didn’t happen like that“. These words can really make you doubt your own judgment and give you the impression of going crazy. In the long term, this behavior can isolate you and make you completely dependent on the manipulator.
Faced with these kinds of sentences, the best answer is not to justify yourself, but to refuse to enter the manipulation game. You can answer in a simple and direct way with typical sentences: “No, this is not the case, I tell you what I felt” or “is my truth and that’s what matters to me.” The most important thing is to reaffirm your reality and not to apologize for your feelings. Freeing yourself from a grip is first to reconquer the right to say “no” and to believe in what you are and what you feel.
