THE LIFE OF A NARCISSIST

     What makes a person a liar? In my life, I've had many people lie to me. First off my parents who told me that Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy were real. I've had people lie to me to protect my feelings and withhold information that they thought at the time I didn't need to hear. But I never thought of them as liars, just people maintaining my childhood and having my best interest at heart. I guess to me a liar would be someone that could look you straight in the eyes with no regard to your feelings and tell you something untruthful to only protect themselves or make themselves look better. Narcissistic liars are the ones who do all that but actually, believe their lies and establish a concrete fictional story that they tell the world to either make themselves look good or to gain sympathy from others but lack empathy.
     I've also found that the narcissistic liars will tell you things that are so out there thinking that the person that they are telling is dumber than a box of rocks and can't see right through their lies. Now granted, maybe the first time they tell a specific person a lie the person is unaware of the nature of this narcissistic liar so they believe them. Maybe they actually feel sorry for this person. But as time goes on they get to know this person like the back of their hand and can see right through them. It gets to a point where the poor person being lied to thinks to themselves, "Does he think I am a moron?" I think about this often being a victim to a narcissist. Sometimes when I hear a "feel sorry for me" excuse I just chuckle asking myself if he actually remembers that he just tried to use this excuse weeks before. And I get frustrated thinking that this person must think I'm the dumbest person alive. Even though I am a fairly intelligent person I didn't know that there are different types of liars. I just thought there were those people that tell a little fib or a pathological liar. I was unaware of the narcissistic liar. Boy oh boy did I get some education. If you deal with a liar you should seriously google that shit. Especially a pathological narcissist. While I was reading it I was in shock. I felt as if I was writing those definitions myself. So by educating myself I learned how big of a personality disorder this really was and that it can be caused by a variety of things. Now I realize that I can't blame the person entirely. They too suffer a mental illness. But my question is, does that make their actions justified? Especially the cheating which narcissists are known to do more than others. I'm not quite sure yet. But I'm positive that I should definitely keep learning about it. Smdh.
