Narcissists often employ a tactic known as "lying by denying," which involves blatantly refuting facts or events, even when evidence is clear. They manipulate reality to maintain their desired narrative and protect their fragile self-image. This behavior can be bewildering for those around them, leading to confusion and self-doubt as the narcissist steadfastly denies undeniable truths. It's crucial to recognize this tactic as a means of control and self-preservation, rather than engaging in fruitless arguments. Dealing with narcissists' lies by denial often requires setting firm boundaries, trusting your own perceptions, and seeking support to navigate the challenging dynamics they create.
