Malignant Narcissists are not concerned about seeing the truth, especially when it comes to other people. Narcissists see things the way they want to. I.e. whatever suits their ego best.
The most abusive example of this, and I see this a lot, is when a victim of narcissistic abuse is showing signs of psychological trauma and distress from the abuse.
Narcissists, even the ones that have nothing to do with the victim personally, will push the narrative that the victim has underlying mental health issues. This is something narcissists do, it’s one of the strongest patterns I’ve observed. It satisfies their ego and their covertly sadistic traits and works to hide clarity and understanding of narcissistic abuse from the public eye
Give your mind a break. From people. From phones. From the constant hustle of life. Spend some alone time just with yourself. Do nothing. Be bored. Stare at a crack in the wall. Look out the window. Watch how shadows move. Listen to a piece of music that's 300 years old. Read Hegel. Read Aristotle. Read Dostoevsky. The minds that are still relevant today. Slow down enough to experience things deeply again. Don't consume something just because it's trending. Be loyal to your own curiosities. Your own interests. Your own idiosyncrasies. If you want to live a life that feels alive, protect the parts of yourself this world keeps trying to distract you from.
When people show you who they are behind the mask, (especially unintentionally, naturally or separately from your usual environment) please believe them
