Narcissists often struggle to take responsibility because admitting fault threatens their self-image. 🛡️ They perceive themselves as superior and flawless, so any admission of error feels like a loss of control. Instead, they project responsibility onto others as a defense mechanism, shifting blame to protect their fragile self-esteem.

This blame-shifting can manifest in various ways, such as gaslighting, manipulation, or outright denial. 🌀 Understanding this behavior can help those affected break free from the cycle of blame and cultivate healthier relationships. If you’ve experienced this, remember: it’s okay to prioritize your mental health! 💖 #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealthAwareness
