Narcissists rewrite history to escape accountability
from You Are Not Crazy · host Jessica Knight
Narcissists rewrite history to avoid accountability. You are not crazy. This quote resonates because abusive individuals manipulate reality to maintain control and make us doubt ourselves.Remember that abusers target strong people who empathize deeply—this is part of their control strategy. They twist narratives to escape responsibility while making themselves victims—a tactic that keeps them in power over us.In relationships with such individuals, we often feel stuck as they reject our perspectives and create an alternate reality where they're always right. It's crucial to recognize this pattern as intentional gaslighting designed to undermine our trust in ourselves.Support the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.
