Deflecting and Dodging Spotting Narcissist's Gaslighting in Action
Recover Thyself
When confronted with their harmful behavior, narcissists rely on evasive tactics like deflection and dodging to avoid accountability. This enables their gaslighting and leaves victims doubting themselves.
This video analyzes a text exchange where a narcissist exhibits deflection, dodging, and other gaslighting tactics when their partner attempts to address issues in the relationship. We'll uncover the manipulative patterns that allow narcissists to evade responsibility and maintain control.
When initially confronted, the narcissist first feigns ignorance, pretending they don't know what their partner is referencing. This subtle gaslighting plants seeds of self-doubt, making victims question if they imagined or exaggerated issues.
To derail the conversation, the narcissist turns the focus back on their partner, suggesting they sound upset or are misperceiving things. This is a classic deflection, redirecting attention to discredit the partner's emotional state and perspective.
When pressed for a response, the narcissist gives vague platitudes like "I'm trying my best" or non-committal reassurances that fail to acknowledge any harm done. They continue deflecting by painting themselves as well-intentioned while framing their partner as nitpicky and impossible to please.
The narcissist routinely dodges accountability with dismissive responses like "I don't know what else to say" or "Let's move forward". Any specifics about their behavior are ignored. These tactics frustrate and exhaust victims trying to be heard.
When backed into a corner, the narcissist portrays any attempts to discuss issues as a pointless exercise or dredging up the past. This discourages the victim from further efforts at open communication, enabling the narcissist's habits.
Finally, the narcissist paints the conversation itself as a symptom of broader issues in the relationship, flipping responsibility back on their partner. In doing so, they establish an environment where the victim feels punished for simply expressing needs and concerns.
When you notice evasiveness, focus on your own validation rather than trying to extract accountability from the narcissist. Document evidence in case gaslighting escalates. But know that dodging responsibility is their way of coping, not an indictment of you. Respond by surrounding yourself with people who hear your truth. Your courage and conviction in speaking up are what matter most, regardless of the narcissist's deflections. Take comfort in the wisdom that their tactics reveal far more about their own insecurities than any flaw in you. You deserve to be truly seen.
