Welcome to a new series created to help others understand liars and narcissists. In this series, we will delve into the psychology of these individuals, their manipulative tactics, and, most importantly, how to identify and deal with them. At the end of this series, there will be a comprehensive plan of action that you should take to rid yourself of anyone who possesses any of these characteristics.
One Line Is All I GOT
A single lie, like a seismic force, has the power to rupture the very foundation of a relationship, setting it on a course of destruction!
Why is it such a monumental task for some to uphold the truth, while for others, the very essence of truth seems to elude them?
One lie can tear apart what was once solid, leaving only memories of what could have been. But yet, when the Liar starts to believe their lie, there isn’t anything you can do to make them confess to their lies.
Liars often attempt to diminish the gravity of their deceit by branding their ‘lies’ as mere misunderstandings on your part. This manipulation can cast a shadow of doubt on your perception of reality. It’s crucial to recognize these tactics and stay vigilant. At this juncture, are they more narcissists than they are liars?
Definition of a liar ~a person who tells lies
Definition of a narcissist ~ is a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves. They think the world revolves around them.”
What a liar does
They want you to believe what they are saying so they can get away with manipulating your feelings. When their lie is exposed, they will either blame you for making them lie or tell another lie in order to cover up the first lie.
However, it’s crucial to remember that, regardless of the circumstances, the decision to lie is made by the Liar, not you.
What a narcissist does
They lack empathy. They often struggle to understand or care about the feelings and needs of others. This can lead to disregard for how their actions affect those around them.
Stay tuned for part 2, where we’ll delve deeper into the characteristics of liars and narcissists. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to navigate toxic relationships.

Belladonna’s Flashlight 
something I’ve never been able to do…yes I’m a dad, a son (I skipped a few classes n my time) but something on my head causes me to laugh everytime I’ve ever tried to lie about anything…except maybe about Santa and the Easter Rabbit, but even then my wife has to yell at me to be quiet!

This is another interesting series, Bella, thank you for taking up this topic.
When we are children, we are told by the adults that we are not supposed to lie. But then we watch them lying to each other. They excuse that with “I didn’t want to hurt that person with my real opinion” or “My superior can get me fired if I tell him my true thoughts”. We learn that there exceptions to the rule. For me that was very confusing as a child.

My ex told me he lied to me because (he thought) I couldn’t handle the truth. The lie is worse, because I wasn’t worth the truth. The lie? He told me he was working when he was really fishing. If he could lie to me about this, he could lie to me about anything…and he did.

I think my mother might have been a narcissist, I wonder if I have any of her narcissistic tendencies, but I know for sure my oldest son does. I blame her for that because she raised him to be a spoiled brat. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and has become a great ‘actor’ who can fake feelings such as grief over his granddad’s death.
I’m praying that living alone finally, and having to be dependent on no one might change him.

I had a guy in my life that would lie even if the truth looked better. And yes, he was a narcissist.

With all the field experience, I’ve have been and married to or engaged to narcissist or living with them. This is a very, very good piece of work here.
I hope one day write a lot about how to avoid narcissist and how to cope with them in relationships from all my experience and lessons mostly that I learned the hardest way.
