Short clip from the video 'Doubling Down and Dark Personality' looking at why narcissistic people double down when in error or at fault. • Doubling Down and Dark...
What I’m seeing is, “I try this lie, then that lie. See if it sticks. If you don’t believe me, maybe the police or the court will believe me - and make you act, in accordance with my lies, even though I have previously admitted to everything I’ve done, in court, and you have one piece of evidence, after another. Besides, I’m above the police, the judge and the whole court so, I’ll do and say whatever I please!” I’ve never seen so much sustained lying, in my life. Not even in politics, in recent years.
Imagine being raised by a female version of trump. Got any idea how traumatizing all this mess in the US can be? I try to leave it alone as much as possible. Political gray rock.
@@lorinapetranova2607 and I was just talking about a former sister. I did see my mother start to lie, which was one of the many reasons I went no contact. But my former sister is like an Olympic Liar. I know there are many situations, far worse than my own though.
@@privateprivate8366 back in the day they let any psycho adopt kids n wreck them for life or close to it. Nobody is related except by law. It's a freakish family. I have a bro n sis who are high grade pathological liars. They learned well from that woman. But enough. We're a work in progress all the time. Part of why we're alive. Do be safe in this Wild Weather season. Many blessings of joyfulness.
I know I mustn't but I SO want to give my narcissistic mother in law a piece of my mind and vocalise to her all the awful things she has done and said. But you are right she will just go darvo and I will be pictured as the bad one. It is so unfair.
When it gets real stupid is arguing over something on a map that got so heated I finally pulled out an old state map to show Facts. Excuse me while I go off n mumble about getting sucked in to idiotschitt. Many blessings ya'll.
But then they'll say to themselves "It's immature of me to be driven purely by fear of shame, and that fear drives me to do terrible things to others, and lying accomplishes nothing but making things worse, so what I really need to do is step up to the plate, face the fear, accept the shame, be honest despite how hard that can be, and care enough about others to treat them respectfully." Just kidding. They never think that. That's the difference between them and mature people. Mature people have the capacity to be better than their primal instincts. They spend their lives working on mastering the art so that it can be puzzling realizing that a lot of people don't work on themselves and spend their whole lives stuck at the most fundamental stage of maturity. My narcissistic mother misinterpreted struggles I was experiencing and told me I was at rock bottom when really I was generally on top of the world. I realized she's the one at rock bottom, having spent her whole life refusing to ascend to the most basic level of maturity.
Getting into a rage is a quick way for them to stop the argument
My narc ex said..."The best lie is the closest thing to the truth." I learned the truth about him the hard way.

They double down 🙏
Every time
No one was ever able to teach them “It’s okay to be wrong, but try not to be a jerk.”
Instead they can never be wrong, and can never stop being jerks.
It's a _positive_ feedback loop. A negative one would have the effect of reducing its own driving force.
Exactly what my mother used to do.
So true💯

Save your energy for yourself
This is very true. I find this happens more often with female narcissists.
Can a person diagnosed with bipolar 1 develop borderline personality disorder after a decades long spousal relationship with a narcissist.
I would like to know it too
Sounds just like trump!
And especially Obama!
