As many of you know,
I myself have dealt with a narcissist. I write about it in this post
Part One: Understanding Manipulation
This chapter is mainly the author making us aware that there isn’t actually a playbook, but if there were, this is how she thinks the book would be. She wants to list red flags to look out for.
Everyone has some traits of narcissism, however, narcissist are on a completely different level.
A manipulative relationship is an abusive relationship. This makes it hard for people to leave a relationship. Trust me, I know.
Even after the relationship, you still can be abused.
I remember
my narcissist finding ways to contact me to manipulate and abused me. Even when he was in a relationship. This prolonged my healing. He felt like he owned me.
Never think for once that you can’t go through this abuse. These people are chameleon. They can have you thinking they’re one way, and the whole time its a mask.
I call narcissist’s chameleons…
because they pretend to be everything you want in a person just to tear you down. It’s all a game. If you want a gentleman, they will pretend to be that for a period of time. The whole time, they’re plotting.
