Deny, Devalue, And Defensive
Summary: The narcisstic cycle when faced with truth or the word ‘accountabilty’. See it as a naguthy child who does not like to be reminded of themselves due to the lack of processing, avoidance of guilt and shame. The delusional approach is to convince others of the same processing happening on their internal.
They cannot see themselves on the inside so the navidiagting external self rules with denial. If some is spending 24/7 denying their very own behavoier it delusional to think in seconds something will change.
Key words that feel like weapons to a manipulator without empathy that senses ‘fear of exposure’ and the plan collapsing…. accountability and consequences.
Imagine a person is observing the world from a lighthouse on an island, and genuine connection with accountbaltiy and vunrabilty is the mainland.
The process of adult education is a much longer road and the short cuts are not allowed… the short cuts used in the past… the reaction to truth will show short cuts where enabled one to many times in the past.
With eight billion people on the planet, time given to others is not a bad idea at all.
