Narcissistic abuse is so sick and covertly calculated that it often defies belief. Abusers know this and weaponize it, labeling their victims as “obviously crazy” to discredit them.
They rely on the fact that most people can’t imagine how manipulative and abusive a malignant narcissist really is. This makes it easy to sway others into thinking the victim is lying, exaggerating, or delusional, often leaving the victim isolated and unheard.
Many survivors of narcissistic abuse suffer in silence, not even bothering to try to tell anyone what their abusers did to them because it is so elaborate it feels impossible to try to explain it. And even if we could explain it, we’ve learned that people don’t want to hear that sort of thing. People don’t want to believe that a person was abused that badly. It’s too heavy for most people to care to believe.
@Ryan_Daigler They want to replace your reality with theirs, so you will think they are a king and bow to them. They will call you their queen while abusing you with cruelty and treating you without the decency of a human being.
