How Narcissists React to Being Confronted with the Truth -

Without lies, the Narcissist loses control. They hide behind pillars or mountains of lies they have constructed to protect their fragile self-esteem or maintain their fake identity. Therefore, the life of a Narcissist is usually built on lies. When the truth is brought to them, they instantly become super defensive because the truth is their poison. Whether it is the truth about who they really are or things they have said or done, it is all the same to the Narcissist: an uncomfortable, bitter, deadly threat they must dispel with every fiber of their being.

Today, I will discuss the top five reactions of a Narcissist when confronted with the truth, followed by how to handle these narcissistic reactions.

1. Denial

One of the first ways a Narcissist is likely to react when confronted with the truth is denial. No matter how clear the truth is, they will flat-out deny it, insisting they never said or did anything wrong. They may even accuse you of making it all up. Denying the truth allows Narcissists to avoid accountability and maintain their delusions.
