Summary
With narcissists, the name of the game is mind control. They have convinced themselves that they are on a higher plane than you, and it is therefore your duty to prop up their vaulted ego. Of course, you know that their distorted thinking is not accurate, yet they can persist in the effort to keep you subordinate. In this crucial discussion, Dr. Les Carter identifies eight of the most common lies the narcissist wants you to believe. But as you become keenly aware of their game, you can opt out. Simply put, you cannot allow a narcissist's lies to become your truth.
