8 Lies ALL Narcissists Tell

The fourth lie that all narcissists tell is that things will improve. And, unfortunately, if you’ve been there, which I’m guessing you have, you know where this goes.

It never gets better with a narcissist. It only gets worse. If they have devalued you, discarded you, or used you as a punching bag in the past; it will be much easier for them to do so in the future.

They will, in fact.

However, even before that point, you may notice some variation of what we call future faking. A narcissist will promise you anything you want at this point.

So let’s say you’re in a romantic relationship and you want to get married and have children. That’s what the narcissist will promise you -this is what we’re working towards and that we’re so close. And it’ll always be a carrot that they’ll dangle in front of you. You won’t want to walk away because you think you’re so close to getting everything you wanted.

You think that even though things are bad now, they will improve. Except they won’t.

Future faking can also happen with a narcissistic boss. That could come in the form of a promotion or a pay raise. But these are lies. They may tell these lies in various ways, but the end result is the same.
