This week, we are going to be looking at when narcissists flip the script, literally, and play the victim.
A hallmark of narcissistic grandiosity is the tendency to portray themselves as victims. This contradictory behavior often confuses and manipulates others. Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder frequently perceive themselves as unfairly treated. This distorted self-image is rooted in unrealistic expectations, heightened sensitivity, and a profound lack of empathy. By casting themselves in the role of victim, narcissists seek to evoke sympathy, deflect blame, and maintain control. Tune in to find out more.

I look forward to healing with you.
