Summary
In this episode, learn how to tell if a narcissist is lying by watching for these telltale signs! Liars are not always easy to spot due to their chameleon-like behavior; however, if you take the time to step back and gain objectivity, you will notice pervasive patterns that indicate the person you are dealing with has a propensity to lie. Narcissistic personality disorder is not always easy to spot.
Covert narcissists manipulate by mirroring your empathy, for example, and without objectivity, you might be pulled in by their charismatic charm or their sob story. Narcissists manipulate others in various ways, such as gaslighting, projection, triangulation, smear campaigns, coercive control, domination, and power. They can also use stonewalling and the silent treatment to exert control over their targets.
To learn how to tell if a narcissist is lying, you may want to sit back and observe consistent and pervasive patterns of inconsistencies, lack of integrity, shapeshifting, twisting the truth, devaluing those who challenge them, as well as noting when they are most reactive, which is often associated with when someone dares to challenge a narcissist's version of reality. Narcissists are grandiose in their self perception. They only hang out with those they consider 'special' or unique or with those who bolster their delusions of superiority. Dare to challenge a narcissist about their beliefs of superiority, and you must prepare to be annihilated.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. My name is Lisa A. Romano. I am a life coach, best |
| 0:10.0 | selling author, YouTube vlogger, meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse. |
| 0:17.0 | I am a believer in the power of an organized mind. My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness |
| 0:25.6 | rather than living a reactive life. |
| 0:28.6 | May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope |
| 0:33.6 | as you spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. |
| 0:38.3 | So today we're going to be talking about how you can tell when a narcissist is lying. |
| 0:45.3 | When we're talking about trying to figure out whether or not someone that we care about |
| 0:49.3 | or someone that we know is lying, especially if this person is a narcissist. |
| 0:54.4 | It can be difficult at first because most people just take people at their word. |
| 1:00.1 | Most people meet someone and they assume that what they're saying is actually consistent |
| 1:05.2 | and what they're saying is real and what they're saying is honest and authentic. |
| 1:10.1 | And we have no reason to believe that this |
| 1:12.9 | person would be manipulating us, especially if that isn't part of our character. We want to |
| 1:18.4 | understand that if we are people who show up authentically, doesn't mean that we're perfect, |
| 1:23.4 | but we are people who show up authentically and we have no agenda to manipulate this other person, |
| 1:29.7 | then that lens by which we view the self is the lens by which we are assuming other people |
| 1:35.8 | operate through as well. And this is a false premise. And this was a big wake up call for me |
| 1:40.8 | and definitely a huge breakthrough moment where I realized that, hmm, just because |
| 1:46.1 | I'm showing up this way doesn't mean the person that I love is showing up this way. And just |
| 1:50.7 | because my intention is to feel close to this person, my intention is to be authentic with this |
| 1:57.2 | person, my intention is to even be vulnerable with this person and tell them |
