The Narcissist's Constant Lies
Download | Duration: 00:02:06
A lie is a handy tool the narcissist uses to enhance and protect the image he has so painstakingly built and to get him directly to his goal. Lying for the narcissist is shortcut, a free ride in the fast lane that will get him to his destination more quickly and directly than telling the truth. Lying for the narcissist is as natural and easy as breathing.

I do agree the it is very easy for the lies to flow. narcissist's do not quit till they get what they want and no one else matters not wife, children only what they want. I do not understand that and I have been trying to understand this type of person. i have been to counseling and have been told basically that i leave or conform to his way of being that is not a fair statement aren't they just telling the narcissist your ok she/he is wrong. I love my husband but I do not understand him after 10yrs.

I noticed that even the cover narcissist likes to arrange everything to revolve around his word and his thespian skills. The minute you bring fact into the debate, they cut and run after staring at you like a deer in the headlights. Always fact-check, even when they give a plausible-sounding story. Cross-examine. And by the way, trying to understand will lead to your insanity - I'd give up. They don't understand themselves, either. This need to understand my ex drove me nearly nuts for 20 years. And lies are ego-syntonic for them - truth is a stranger. Think of Casey Anthony, although she's probably further on the continuum as a sociopath.
