The knowledge of Narcissists and Narcissism needs to be there. And today’s article is going to shed some light into why trauma bonds and cognitive dissonance happen. In this article, I talked about the fact that Narcissists use words to deceive and manipulate. With their words, they convince us that they love us or that they care. And with their words, they also slander us and smear us. Words are very powerful, and the Narcissist uses their communication skills to accomplish what they want. It is all about persuading people to believe what the Narcissist wants them to believe. But there is another layer to this, and that layer is repetition. So, not only does the Narcissist say what they want you to believe but they say it again, again and again. Repetition enforces the message that the Narcissist wants you to believe, and your subconscious eventually registers it as the truth.
The power of repetition is widely used. We see it in the media with advertisements, news, movies, politics etc. It has been proven that if a message is repeated again and again, eventually many people will just start parroting that message. They will just believe it or accept it for the simple fact that they have been presented with the idea so many times. It’s a clear and effective means to control people’s behaviours, thoughts etc. But to stay on topic this is a tactic that Narcissists use. The so-called love-bombing phase is a literal assault on your subconscious mind. In this article, I talked about how Narcissist deceives our senses by showing us what we want to see, telling us what we want to hear, smelling the way they know we’ll like and also using physical touch to seduce or manipulate us. But above all the power is in how often they repeat certain actions and words.
The Narcissist reinforces their message in multiple ways. They do not just say it, they allow you to experience what they want you to believe in ways that involve as many of your senses as possible. This is why it is important that they consume our time and bombard us with all these signals and messages. The more they can expose us to their made-up reality the quicker we will be drawn in to accept it as fact. This is why a Narcissist would come out very early on in the relationship and tell you they love you or how much you mean to them and then keep demonstrating that idea in different ways every chance they get. By the time the love-bombing phase is complete the target is truly convinced that the Narcissist is a genuine friend or lover.
