Number 2: “No One Will Believe You”
“No one will believe you.” This one is the most dangerous. When they say, “No one will believe you,” it’s because they have already done their work by playing the game of being the monster at home and a saint in public. They have already set the stage. They have already made you look crazy through reactive abuse, pushing your buttons silently yet strategically until you explode.
They have trained the outside world to believe they are the victim. So when you finally try to speak up, will you look like this unstable one? And that’s exactly what they want. They don’t just abuse you. They discredit you before you even open your mouth. They want people to see you as dramatic, emotional, irrational, so your truth gets buried under their performance.
While they make you feel like you are losing your mind at home, they are outside charming your friends, playing the role of a good partner, a parent, planting subtle doubts about your mental health, pretending to be confused and concerned about your behavior. They say things like, “I don’t know what’s going on with them lately. I’m so concerned. I just want them to get the help they need.” And those comments sound so innocent, but they are meant to destroy your credibility.
So when you finally reach your breaking point and tell them that this wolf has been feeding off of you, it doesn’t land. People look at you sideways. They hesitate. They question you. Or worse, they defend the narcissist because the narcissist seemed so nice when gaslighting, so put-together, so caring. That is why this phrase is so evil. It’s not just an attack on your voice. It is an attack on your reality.
Number 3: “You Will Never Find Someone Like Me”
“You will never find someone like me.” When a narcissist says, “You will never find someone like me,” this is what they mean: You will never find someone who lies like I do, who manipulates like I do, who makes you question your sanity like I did. You will never find someone who takes so much while giving so little and still convinces you that it is love. “You will never find someone like me” is the one time they’re telling the truth, because you won’t find someone like them, not because they were special in the way they want you to believe, but because most people do not spend their lives trying to break others just to feel whole. Most people do not enter relationships as a game of power. Most people do not pretend to love you just to feed off your light.
