Narcissist Behavior Q&A

👥 They split the group into camps

Once the camps form, the actual facts sink under the rumors. Don't be swept along by what others say — start calmly from what you saw and lived yourself.

The short answer

Rather than polling the group on who's right, look at what you experienced directly.

Scenes like this

  • After one falling-out, they messaged everyone to build a side.
  • Staying neutral got you branded a traitor and edged out of the group.

How to tell the difference

Confiding in friends about a hard time is different from demanding that people choose a side.

When this happens, try this

  • Secondhand stories may be rumors — verify the facts with the person involved.
  • Don't burn energy rebutting every salvo in the group chat's camp wars. State your position objectively, once and with composure, then keep your distance.
