Narcissist Behavior Q&A

🎭 They post or reply from my accounts

They're using your name to deceive the people around you. Steadily protect your account security and the trust of the people in your life.

The short answer

Replies sent from your account without your consent can breed misunderstandings with friends and coworkers.

Scenes like this

  • They texted your friend from your phone to cancel your plans.
  • They posted a breakup announcement or an apology on your social media, as you.

How to tell the difference

Lending your phone once doesn't mean anyone may message people in your name at will.

When this happens, try this

  • From a safe device they can't access, set up two-factor authentication and change your passwords. If changing settings could put you in danger, secure your safety first.
  • Briefly tell the people who got messages in your name, "That message wasn't from me," and be sure to capture the impersonated posts and messages as evidence.
