"Let's not focus on my tone. What I said is still true."
Have you ever felt like your concerns are brushed aside when confronting someone about their behaviour? In this episode, Cynthia Bailey-Rug tackles the manipulative tactics used by narcissists to avoid accountability, specifically how they police your tone and body language. Instead of addressing their harmful actions, narcissists often shift the focus onto how you communicate, accusing you of being aggressive or hateful.
This clever diversion is designed to derail the conversation and make you question yourself, ultimately leading you to drop your valid concerns. Cynthia delves into biblical teachings to shed light on these deceitful tactics, highlighting passages from Psalms and Proverbs that warn about the prideful nature of those who resist correction. She emphasises the importance of recognising these tactics for what they are and staying focused on the truth.
By refusing to engage in defending your tone and instead redirecting the conversation back to the real issue, you can stand firm against manipulation. Cynthia also discusses the significance of setting boundaries and not falling into the trap of fruitless arguments. Drawing inspiration from Jesus' encounters with the Pharisees, she encourages listeners to remain steadfast and let God be their strength.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with narcissistic behaviour, offering practical advice and spiritual guidance to help you stay grounded in truth.
