Narcissists always have a scapegoat

It brings up shame they try desperately to avoid.
Instead of self-reflecting, they project, blame, or smear the honest person to undermine their credibility.

projecting their own manipulative nature onto them, often accusing them of “virtue signaling” or “being manipulative”. This allows them to discredit goodness, maintain control, and distort reality to avoid confronting their own emptiness.

Hey Lenore! ✌️ glad to see you

Ultimately, a narcissist’s "respect" is just a reflection of power dynamics, not genuine admiration or appreciation. No matter what you do—whether you obey or resist—you can never truly earn their real respect, because they don’t see others as equals in the first place.

At the same time, if someone resists them, they may develop a grudging respect—but not in a healthy way. They might view that person as a challenge, an obstacle, or even a rival. Instead of respecting them as an equal, they’ll often seek to break them down, manipulate them, or regain control.

Narcissist always need a scapegoat to blame their problems on. And they will often use others’ accomplishments to take credit for

That makes sense. Just beginning to show independence so they want to control that. Such disgusting behavior. I wouldn’t stand for that either
February 23, 2025 at 6:45 PM
that only serves to make the victim look “crazy“ because the rest of society really isn’t prepared to understand that there are people like this all around us doing this to their own children and the people they are friends with are doing this to their own siblings

And this is when narcissism becomes a malignant evil conspiracy of terror for one (or sometimes more) family members.It literally feels like a nuclear satanic cult complete with a ritual human sacrifice.
And if you express such fear or concern that “my family is trying to kill me“ …cont

They need a justification for their hatred that keeps their fragile self-image intact while also manipulating others into siding with them.

It’s not you, it’s them.

So instead, they manufacture a narrative that paints you as the problem.
They’ll twist reality to make you seem like the abuser, manipulator, or other negative qualities they know people will easily accept without looking deeper.
