FAQ’S: Do Narcissist’s lie? Do they ever…!

When do Narcissists lie….when don’t they?
This Frequently Asked Question is easily one of my favorites.  I am so glad you asked.
When I dredge up the memories of the N that I have buried deep in my sub conscious, I don’t think there was a conversation…correction, a speech of the N’s that wasn’t filled with lies.

Picture Me Not Caring

On a weekly, sometimes daily basis, my “newly” Americanized friend gives me, or should I say attempts to give me the latest updates on the N. 
In my “Karma’s a ^#*^!”  post and “Karma:  Where does she work?”  I talk about my friend telling me the latest news re: the N and me teaching my friend, a new American word: Karma.

Intervention

 

Last fall I was treating myself to lunch at a restaurant that the “long - dead to me Narcissist” and I used to frequent.  What do they say?  You need to  ”de-sensitize”?  To get over the phobia, one must continue to have exposure to the dreaded thing/situation/place?  Well, I did give myself a break and I didn’t [...]

FAQ’s: Do Narcissists Really Forget You?

    
Do Narcissists really forget you? 
Sadly. 
Yes. 
     If the narcissist was in the same room with me, there would not be a flicker of recognition on his face….he has the “dead to me” concept down to an art form.

Karma? Where does She work?

      

My newly Americanized friend was telling me latest info from the “grapevine” re: the N.  This latest bit of news made me laugh, joyously.  (Sorry if you think I’m a heartless *#!^>.  Obviously you haven’t been paying attention.) 
My friend said, “What do you think of that?!”  I replied with, “I warned him.  It just [...]
