It’s a cycle of “it wasn’t that bad” or “they made me do it” to maintain control and protect one’s ego. This mindset can make it difficult to recognize personal responsibility and leads to unhealthy relationships, as everything is justified to preserve a sense of superiority or innocence.
Breaking free from a narcissistic mindset starts with self-awareness and accountability. Therapy can be a powerful tool in helping individuals recognize these patterns, challenge distorted thoughts, and develop empathy. Healing begins when you stop deflecting and start facing the truth.
