So So true đ
I feel for all who have to deal with this - itâs not nice!
Just heard the Narcissist's side of the story.
What I did was not cool. Iâll own that. I wasnât perfect. I said things I shouldnât have, I acted out of pain, and I made choices I regret. But hearing how they told the story⌠it hit different. In their version, thereâs no room for context, no acknowledgment of what led up to those moments â just a spotlight on my flaws, broadcast with perfect timing and selective memory.
Itâs strange, hearing your life narrated by someone who only ever sees themselves as the victim. They left out their manipulation, their gaslighting, the emotional landmines I had to tiptoe around. They didnât mention the way they chipped away at my sense of self, made me question my sanity, or the silent punishments I endured when I didnât fall in line.
Instead, they painted me as the villain, the unstable one, the one who just âsnapped for no reason.â And the scariest part? Some people will believe them. Because narcissists are master storytellers â they charm, they perform, and they know exactly how to make their lies sound like concern.
Yes, I made mistakes. Iâm learning, healing, and taking accountability. But their version? That wasnât truth. That was image control. That was manipulation dressed up as a confession.
And now, more than ever, I understand how important it is to know both sides before judging someoneâs story.
