Abusive, toxic, exploitative, narcissistic and manipulative people are really good at seeming like victims. They frame their narratives to paint themselves as the "good guy" who is being persecuted or who has had a string of bad luck.
Ever wondered why some people always seem to be the 'victim' in every story they tell? In this episode of SNAP: Survivors of Narcissistic & Abusive Personalities, Mandy Friedman LPCC-S unpacks the complex behaviors of narcissistic and manipulative individuals. These people are masters at crafting narratives where they appear as the 'good guy' facing endless bad luck.
Mandy, a seasoned counselor and trauma expert, explains how these tactics are used to manipulate and exploit empathic individuals who naturally want to help and support others. She dives into the concept of 'victimhood' and how it serves as a powerful tool for narcissists to control their targets. By framing themselves as victims, they deflect blame and garner sympathy, making it harder for others to see their true nature.
This episode also touches on martyrdom, neglect, and the belief that the rules don't apply to them. Mandy's insights will help you recognize these toxic patterns and understand the importance of empathy in healing from such relationships. If you're looking to gain a clearer understanding of manipulative behaviors and how to protect yourself, this episode is a must-listen.
