Number 5: “I Would Never Hurt You”
“I would never hurt you.” When a narcissist says, “I would never hurt you,” that is when they are the most dangerous. When a narcissist is sweet and speaking nice things, believe me, it is the calm before the storm. They are going to do something worse. So you should always believe the opposite of what they say. This is the trap most people don’t see coming, because it doesn’t look like danger, does it? It doesn’t feel like a trap. It looks like a charm.
It sounds like safety. It feels like love. But when a narcissist suddenly becomes gentle, kind, and overly affectionate, it’s never pure. It’s not coming from a place of genuine peace-loving person. It’s coming from calculation.
They are softening you up before the blow, creating a false sense of security emotionally so that when they strike, you’re stunned. Creating a false sense of emotional security so that when they strike, you are too stunned to move, too shocked to speak, too confused to trust your intuition. “I would never hurt you” isn’t a promise. It’s a distraction of the enemy.
It is something they say right before they cross a line they cannot uncross. And when they do, they will point back to those exact words to make you doubt your pain. They will say, “How could you think that after everything I’ve said to you?” And you will freeze, because you remember the tone, the warmth, eyes that looked so sincere, so puppy-like. But sincerity means nothing when it is used as a weapon.
