 why narcissists act like nothing happened it may seem as though the narcissist is very forgetful as though they don't remember things that they have said or done they don't remember their lies they don't remember the abuse they don't remember how they betrayed you they forgot about all of that they can give a detailed account about you but they can't remember the things that they have done they don't understand when really they're manipulating you so that they can avoid accountability so that you can't express your dislike for what they've done because they don't remember it or they do remember but they remember a different version of events because they're living in a fantasy world so your engagement with them has no basis in reality because they're operating from a state of mind that differs from the normal state of consciousness they're not really with you they may be there physically but they're not there in the minds because instead they may imagine you as their favorite actor or singer and they will use that person to take your place while they are interacting with you which is why they will often triangulate you with other people or compare you to their favorite celebrity because they're trying to create and customize a fantasy character they're delusional they live outside of themselves and they know how to twist and bend reality to their liking this is why they seem to forget the things they said or done to you this is why they don't understand when you bring logic and reasoning because they don't want to understand if they try to understand it will bring them closer to reality where they would have to take accountability which is why they want nothing to do with reality because then they can remain in the same state of mind that they've always existed in and by doing that they can change the way you view them they use tactics to alter your perception to keep you off your game so that they don't have to be accountable so that they don't have to grow which is why narcissists they the same because a narcissist is really just someone who has an arrested development it's an abnormal state in which their development is stopped prematurely because they were never held accountable for their actions so they never had to grow out of that state of mind they never had to adjust so they seem crazy they seem strange they seem like they're mentally ill they don't engage in normal behavior they don't think or rationalize like a normal person because they haven't developed mentally and emotionally like a normal human being they were never told what is right and what is wrong they were never held accountable for their actions so they wouldn't even know how to respond they wouldn't know how to do the right thing they wouldn't know where to start so by default all they can do is lay in their own filth all they can do is make you think that something is wrong with you by making you question your own memory perception and sanity by creating stories about things that you never said or did because they're delusional they detach from reality they create these things in their minds they're not really with you they're insane they're not living in the same world that everyone else is living in because they've created an alternate world inside their minds which is more appealing to them and sometimes they don't have any control of it so there's nothing you can do you can try to explain or justify the things they do but it won't make any sense because you're trying to make sense of it from a sane mind in order for you to understand it you would need to jump into their world but I don't think that's something you would want to do because their world is full of irrational fears of things that don't even exist but they created this world because they just wanted to escape they wanted to run away from their problems but they ended up in a world that was created by their fears it was created by their problems so it was never going to be good for them and as long as you're involved with them you're going to get caught up in it you're going to get pulled into that world and it's going to have an effect on you which is why you just have to fall back because you can't be dealing with that it will make you crazy you will end up thinking that something is wrong with you which is why the only thing you can do is move on from them thank you for watching if you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up share your thoughts on the comment section hit the subscribe button to receive the notifications if you would like to support the channel you can donate at paypal.me-naq-survivor you can book a one-on-one with me on my website it's naq-survivor.co.uk thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon
