@Carazaa They will promise to change,knowing full well they have no intention of doing so,if they fear their victim might leave them,it is all a game to them.
@berangere Its true they lie but it’s very rare that they apologize and even rarer that they promise to change because they have too much at stake, their ego!
@Carazaa It is all a game to them,it is a way to control the situation by fooling their victim and finally go back to how things were before,to just what suited the narcissist
@Carazaa Yes this is true, but narcissists will apologise in a roundabout way,putting the onus on their victim.like "I am sorry I acted that way,but you made me do it"
I agree a narc will manage to deflect their guilt as that of the other person's while manipulating the reality to be custom fit to their own exoneration. @Carazaa @berangere
@Carazaa Their apologies are not sincere,so really they do not apologise,it is a way of manipulating their victim and assure they remain under their control,yes it is all about protecting their ego.
@berangere I appreciate your post, even though I don’t always agree with this psychologist! I think often a person with NPD has other PDs such as histrionic PD, borderline, or is actually antisocial PD
@Carazaa @Carazaa Yes I agree,it can be a combination of nany other personality disorder,my mother was an overt narcissist and was also Histrionic.Narcissits are usually antisocial.
