Narcissists My narcissistic abuser used to tell me that she herself had dated a narcissist in the past and that this person had damaged her mental health. I no longer believe this person ever actually ever existed. I think that whenever she brought this supposedly narcissistic ex-partner up it was either a trick to manipulate me, or she was simply describing herself. This particular piece of gaslighting was a whole other level of fucked up. 1/8
