Inside the Narcissist’s Manipulation Tactics: How They Groom You to Abandon Yourself
In closing, the most dangerous thing a narcissist does isn’t yelling, lying, or cheating; it’s how they slowly convince you to disconnect from yourself. They teach you to distrust your feelings, ignore your needs, silence your truth, and apologize for your existence. They do it so gradually and systematically that by the time you realize what’s happening, you’re already living as a version of yourself they constructed to control.
But here’s the truth: the real you isn’t gone. The real you is not broken; it’s just buried beneath layers of shame, silence, and survival. Underneath it all, it’s waiting to rise. Healing means returning to the parts of yourself they trained you to abandon and learning that your emotions, your voice, your boundaries, and your joy were never the problem; they were the threat.
