Narcissists lie. 

A lot.

 But you know what? Sometimes they thrive on telling the truth with certain things.

These truths reveal the real motives, and what’s really going on in their minds.

The good news for you is that understanding these things is key to seeing through the manipulation. 

In fact, I’d say these 12 things are so central to their identity that they won’t hide them, so once you know what they are, you’ll start cutting through the fakery fast.

Shall we begin?

Seems Crazy…

I get it. Narcissists lie all the time, so anybody would assume they are never honest about certain things.

People always seem so shocked at this, but narcissists are actually very capable of being honest when they want to be.

Even Their Denial Can Boil Into Lies

I didn’t do that! How dare you accuse me!

I would never treat you like that!

You know full well these are all lies, but it’s the sheer defiance behind these lies that create such confusion in their victims!

Sometimes, it’s hard to know what is a lie, and what is the truth.

12 Things Narcissists Will NEVER Lie About

So let’s get right into it.

#1 Their Victories

If a narcissist can show off and flaunt their victories, they’re going to.

Now, it’s pretty common for this to happen at work, but it can really happen anywhere, and I will give you some examples.

• “I’m engaged! I took her to Paris and I proposed to her under the stars! The wedding will be in Barbados!”
• “I just got myself a brand new sports car. I cannot wait to take her for a spin this weekend!”
• “I got promoted! Of course, they picked the right person. Nobody else came close.”
• “Look at the house I’m buying. Over 6 acres, and has its own pool! Nothing but the best for me!”

With each of these examples comes the underlying phrase, “Look at me! Look how important I am! Aren’t I amazing? Tell me how gobsmacked you are!”

And yes, people will be. That’s exactly what the narcissist wants and why they will never lie about their victories. It’s a chance to show off and remind everybody how much better they are than them…

…Yawn.

#2 What Impresses Them

Knowing what a narcissist is impressed by can be tiring. Namely, those things are usually really high-end material goods and almost never humanistic traits like kindness or compassion. 

I mean, have you ever heard a narcissist say, “I love it when I see acts of kindness. This world needs more of that.”

No.

That’s because the only things they love are what you can buy.

They’ll be brutally honest – and the more something costs – the more impressed they will be.

#3 Any Plans They Have

Oh, you’d better strap in and listen up because the narcissist’s plans are going to be top news!

Vacations.

Plans to renovate.

Weight loss.

Joining the gym.

Buying property.

Wanting to start a business.

Doing a walk or run for charity. 

It’ll be all they talk about; they will expect you to hang on to every word.

They won’t lie because they want everybody to follow them every step of the way through their journey.

You’ll get photos, texts, and even donation pages firing your way, and they will love knowing that they’re getting attention.

#4 Their Hate For Weakness

Narcissists are pretty sincere about hating weakness in others.

The really terrible part is that narcissists will create that weakness in their victims by making them feel or think they’re helpless.

Then they will mock them for being indecisive, weak, pathetic, or whatever else they can think of.

Narcissists will be quick to call out weakness and even quicker to cause it.

#5 How Much You Annoy Them

Oh, they love to make digs at you wherever they can. If you do so much as breathe incorrectly to them, they will call you out on it.

You’re this, you’re that, you’re too much of this, why do you insist on being so annoying…

Etc, etc.

If there is any chance to really express some of their hatred, they will jump at the chance and be brutally honest.

#6 Grudges

Narcissists never let go of grudges they have.

If somebody has wronged them in the past, that past will become an eternal present. They won’t let go, because ‘how dare somebody do that to them.’

Oh, and they will be open about it alright. Anything to make them look like they’ve been wronged!

#7 How Competitive They Are

Narcissists love coming first at everything. They want to outshine everybody, they want to win, they want to see the faces of those who lose – they want it all. 

To them, there really is no competition. They already feel leagues above – but they never lie about wanting that proven as often as possible!

#8 Their Status

Have you ever seen a narcissist downplay their job title, or how much they earn, or the latest gadget they bought?

If they have half a crowd, they will show off and act as though everybody should buy whatever they’re peacocking. 

Look at me!

Look how important I am!

Yeah, yeah…

#9 Goals They Have

Prepare to be sucked into the goals of a narcissist, because they will expect you to show up for them.

Narcissists never lie about their goals. They will show everybody every step of the way until they reach them. 

They can then show off and say, “See? Look how easy that was?” – to make you feel small, and for them to continue their entitled display. 

#10 How Boring Some People Are To Them

Relishing the opportunity to bring down the character of somebody kind and caring, narcissists will be quick to tell the world how boring a person is.

Oh my God, I thought they would send me to sleep!

How boring are they?!

To them, they aren’t lying. In reality, I do need to say that calm, safe and secure people are often labeled as boring because they don’t present with the toxic drama and conflict that narcissists present with. 

And nothing is boring about that!

#11 Their Appearance

Covering up all the rottenness that’s inside of them, narcissists will readily work on their appearance so they can receive those compliments they desperately need.

Love me.

Be distracted from the real me.

Look at how beautiful I am and how hard I work for it.

Boring, isn’t it? Yet there they are, openly flaunting what they think they have in all our faces.

#12 The Need For Attention

Love me!

Speak to me!

Pay me attention!

Narcissists make no secret about it, and they have no regrets either. Yes, they love to get what they feel everybody on the planet owes them.

They aren’t ashamed of that at all!

What Eventually Happens To Narcissists?

How Does it End For Narcissists?

Narcissists are like a really painful, long book that you have to read to understand. They don’t come with an index or bullet points. If they did, half their toxicity would fall through the cracks.

Sadly, people like you or I must experience them fully before we know each trick.

If I can offer you one fragment of light at the end of this treacherous tunnel – it’s this:

What happens to narcissists is an ending that you’re going to want to hang on for.

Let’s get into it.

“Look At Them!”

It’s enough to make you sick, isn’t it?

They live their merry little lives, seemingly getting away with anything and everything, making you want to scream from the rooftops.

Yes – it’s unfair. 

You wish they would just crumble and fall down, so you could finally see them suffer as much as they made you suffer. 

You want what happens to them to be detrimental to everything they pretend to be. 

Does The Tide Ever Turn?

What do you think? I mean, I want to be able to tell you that they do indeed turn honestly.

I also know and appreciate how it really doesn’t feel that way at the time. Constantly waiting for them to taste their own medicine can feel like waiting for rain in a drought.

But I am here to say that, yes, eventually, that rain will come.

And it will feel amazing.

The Beauty of Karma

I don’t like to meddle with Karma. Instead, I trust that everything will work exactly how it should.

Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. The circle of life appreciates both good and bad happenings, and I am certain that includes narcissists and how they treat others. 

Karma doesn’t need you stepping in and taking over, so if you ever try to gain justice from a situation involving a narcissist, you’re likely to lose. 

Rather than that – it’s nothing but a waiting game. 

But a game you’ll definitely not want to quit.

How Does It End For Them?

No narcissist has a really happy ending. 

Ultimately, they go home alone every day, even if they go home to somebody. 

Narcissists always want to be part of something, yet never feel part of anything. It’s all empty. It’s all meaningless. They don’t have layers to them or an ounce of appreciation for their family or friends. 

That alone should tell you how it ends for every narcissist. 

They’re nothing but lonely people craving some kind of something. 

That is something they never end up getting.

#1 The Slipping of the Mask

You may have to wait a while, but the mask of a narcissist will always, I repeat, always slip off.

I know you think it can’t happen soon enough, and many of you will be screaming for it to be today—but it doesn’t work that way.

In fact, the more you try to rush the mask’s slipping, the crazier you will look.

If you want to allow their true selves to unfold naturally, you’ll have to wait for the day.

#2 Inability to Keep Up With Their Lies

We all know that lying can lead to serious trouble. Not only do you have to remember this, but you may also have to build potential lies around it so they make sense. 

Narcissists are great at lying, but they can do it so frequently that they fail to recall them all.

When you see a narcissist caught in a lie trap, they will fluff and fumble their way out as best they can with the charm they were born with. 

I want to remind you, though – the lies do catch up with them eventually.

Lies catch up with everybody. 

#3 One Small Mistake

This is all it takes, believe me. One tiny little slip up to get people talking is all it takes. 

I once knew a narcissist professionally who never took any accountability for his mistakes.

He used to cover up all his mistakes, blaming others or deleting evidence that he was responsible. 

One day, he was caught in the act. He had no defense, and even though he got really angry and tried to blame somebody else, it was clear he was to blame. 

His mistake was leaving his work pass in the room where he shredded all the information he wanted to discard. 

It’s all it took for the dominos to all fall down, and for the past to come together like a jigsaw puzzle. People saw what he was like, and nobody trusted him again. 

#4 Time Will Tell

You’re all familiar with the saying, ‘Time will heal.’ It helps if you are going through hard times or have lost somebody close to you. 

Time also heals your own heart as it allows narcissists to be revealed for who they really are.

As much as it will cause chaos, it will be healing to be validated by the entire event. 

It’s how so many victims breathe a sigh of relief and say, “Thank goodness everybody can now see them for who they truly are.”

Time will give you that. You just have to wait for it. 

#5 They Won’t Hesitate To Move!

Narcissists are renowned for moving. 

To start again, if things get too heated where they live,

Looking for work in a new city or town for a ‘fresh start.’

Usually, when they run everybody else down or play them all in their games, they run out of people.

They run out of supply.

So what do they do?

They run away.

It won’t end there, though. Moving anywhere new only restarts the whole process.

Narcissists, for that reason, never really admit to having somewhere to call home.

#6 New Friends

Of course, moving anywhere means starting up a new friendship circle. People will mingle and meet with everybody, as all new people are considered to be fresh pawns in their game. 

Friends end up being enemies before long…

In The End

You can wait and wait, but eventually, the narcissist will get their comeuppance.

In one way or another, whether being found out, having their mask slip, or having to keep bouncing from town to city to stay relevant or liked.

Please allow that to be the justice you need, because it is.

Narcissists will always be miserable. They hate being stuck or figured out, so they must constantly work out their plan to keep their true selves a secret.

Isn’t that the end you want to hear about?

I know it is for me.
