Common phrases used by narcissists:

  • ‘You’re too sensitive/dramatic.’

  • ‘That never happened, you’re imagining things.’

  • ‘I only did that because you made me.’

  • ‘Everyone else thinks you’re the problem.’

How to Protect Your Reality:

  1. Write it down: Keep a private journal of what actually happened.

  2. Don’t Argue: You cannot win a logic battle with a gaslighter. Just say, ‘We remember things differently,’ and walk away.”
