Narcissist Behavior Q&A

🧩 They keep blending facts with speculation

When verified facts and speculation blend, the conversation loses focus. Write what you've confirmed and the interpretations in two separate columns.

The short answer

What can be verified and the interpretation attached to it are two different things.

Scenes like this

  • Your reply was late, so "obviously" you were ignoring them.
  • You skipped the team dinner, so you "betrayed the team."

How to tell the difference

The late reply and the missed dinner may be facts. The reason — and what was in your heart — can't be ruled from them.

When this happens, try this

Write the confirmed behavior and its attached interpretation in two columns. For example: "the reply was late" is fact; "you were ignoring me" is interpretation.
