8 Lies ALL Narcissists Tell

So the second lie that all narcissists tell is that you can count on me or “I have your back.”

And, unfortunately, even if the person you’re dealing with is a highly narcissistic person, even if they mean it at the time, there’s really only one person they’re looking out for, and that’s themselves.

Narcissists will always protect their own interests. And, yes, they might do nice things for you or other people if it’s convenient for them or if they can benefit from it. But, when it comes down to it, if they simply don’t want to do something for you, they won’t.

As a result, they may create the impression that “we’re all in this together.” I’ve got your back, and you have mine.

Unfortunately, most of us discover, at the worst possible time, that the other person is not truly there for us. In fact, they can change their tune very quickly.

A narcissist can go from being your best friend and someone who is in your corner to to someone who is completely against you, someone who is smearing your name or actively attempting to harm you. And they can make this switch about as fast as you can bat an eye.

As a result, unfortunately, many of us are left feeling foolish for having trusted this person in the first place. But, really, it’s not your fault that you’re in this situation. It’s by design. These are some of the core lies that narcissists tell in order to get you to give up your card and trust them.
