How to Trigger Narcissistic Injury

When you trigger narcissistic injury, look out, first, because you will get a classic narcissist out-of-control response. Triggering them is very easy; all you have to do is tell the truth. They try to gaslight you but you respond with what the truth is. The truth is too complicated for them to stomach. They can’t stand it. They want the people around you to believe their slander and lies. This is why no contact works well. The narcissist wants you to believe a certain thing they say, like the lines at the store are long right now, but then again they aren’t necessarily that long. I can get said person to admit that the lines aren’t really very long and apologize. That was gaslighting me to make me feel guilty for asking for help.
