Episode 33 - Why Narcissists Play the Victim - Manipulation Tactics (Series), Part 5

When someone hurts you, then claims they’re the victim — the confusion can be overwhelming.

This episode breaks down how the victim complex is used to flip accountability, rewrite reality, and turn you into the villain.

We explore how narcissistic individuals use the victim role to avoid responsibility, control the story, and recruit sympathy; leaving you doubting yourself while they appear misunderstood.

You’ll learn how to recognize this tactic in real time, stop engaging in the cycle, and stay grounded when someone is committed to seeing themselves as the victim no matter the evidence.

If you’ve ever thought, “How did I become the bad guy when I was just telling the truth?” — this episode is for you.
