Narcissists rely on lies that are propped up by other lies. Why? It makes it easier for them to manipulate us. It is hard to believe one person can lie so much. But also, by relying on a "mesh network", it means that even if one lie is exposed, the network of lies still resists. And we are more likely to just shrug off anomaly after anomaly.

Until we realise what is happening, the whole network crashes and we experience a "narrative collapse", where our whole world view seems crazy.

Learn to recognise this, and make yourself less vulnerable to their manipulation.
