How can you tell when a narcissist is lying? Well, for one, their lips are moving. But there are times when you really need to know if the narcissist is lying or not – it’s very important to you. That’s why I wanted to put this article together today with eight ways to spot a lying narcissist. If you have ever dealt with a narcissist, you are 100% going to identify with the last one.

And you can also use a bridge response if somebody’s just being nosy and probing for information that’s really none of their business. But a narcissist will use bridge responses to avoid answering questions that they very much should answer – things that, in a relationship, they should take responsibility for or at least discuss.
