Narcissists are evil to the core. You can't convince me otherwise. They lack empathy and therefore they couldn't care less about you and your feelings. It's all about them. And they must be right at all costs.
So they'll gaslight you. Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that involves repeatedly lying to someone to make them question their own reality.
No matter how much you try to convince them, they won't budge. In the end, you're left questioning your sanity and whether or not you can depend on your own memory.
Next time someone gaslights you and you're 100% certain they're lying to you. Stop. Stop trying to convince them what really happened. Instead, go. Walk away from them. That person is not for you and they don't care about you. There's no use in trying to find a middle ground. It's a hopeless situation.
Narcissists simply do not care. That's why they're willing to make you believe in a false reality.
You might be afraid to walk away and you might even wonder if you're over-exaggerating. The truth is, that person is a liar. That's really what they're good at. When you met them, they lied to you. They pretended to be someone they're not just to lure you in. They mirrored your behavior back to you so you can like them.
Unfortunately, it's not going to get any better with time. You might as well cut your losses and run for the hills. That person is going to keep on hurting you. And if it's a life partner, they'll have a whole relationship or two that you don't even know about. If you're just finding out they're a gaslighter, consider yourself lucky. It's better late than never.
