They frame their narratives to paint themselves as the "good guy" who is being persecuted or who has had a string of bad luck. Targets of manipulators and liars tend to be highly empathic people who identify with pain and struggle. They want to help, lend an ear, cut them a break, offer support or become romantically interested. This video will illustrate the ways narcissistic and toxic people become victims of their own messes and why they choose this tactic for manipulating their targets.
