“You always think that everything is about you”

Narcissists have a lack of self-esteem and therefore require constant admiration and validation from others. They don’t know what empathy is, and this makes them have difficulty understanding others. These people want to receive unlimited attention, believe they are entitled to special treatment, and give nothing in return.

“I’m the only person who likes you”

This is a frequent tactic used by narcissists to keep you in line. It’s their way of crushing your self-esteem and convincing you that you have nowhere else to turn. If your partner is telling you this, they are trying to make you feel vulnerable by claiming that no one else can love or care for you as they do.

We explained to you what these common phrases that narcissists use when they are trying to manipulate you mean so that you can be more careful and not fall into their trap.

In the case that you have an abusive partner, always search for help from family or trusted friends. You don’t have to stay together with a toxic person just because they make you feel bad for leaving them.
