One of the confusing (and at times debilitating) tactics of the narcissist is their ability to mirror true emotions and their uncanny ability to heap manipulative accusations toward you. Possible trigger warning to follow... They may say things like... I read your email and it made me cry thinking about us. I cant choose to make you believe me but... I just cant take your emotional outbursts anymore. I cant make you listen to the truth. I cant explain how I feel...its just something that my heart knows. I just have to know...did you ever truly care about me? Ive made peace for my mistakes. I saw you at your weakest moments...no one makes me laugh the way you do...I just dont understand why you didnt want to make it work between us. I hope someday you will see me for who I truly am. Im not who you make me out to be but its obvious I cant change your mind. Im sorry you felt hurt. (Note this is NOT an apology. A true apology defines the specific action they did while committing themselves to not repeat. As you see there is no indicator in that statement that the hurtful behavior will not be repeated.) This is a small sampling of the mind bending, emotional whiplash statements they make to disorient, mislead and accuse you. Once you learn about the verbal tactics of the narcissist their words will lose effect on you, yet we need to remain vigilant in our realization that though their words appear to exhibit emotion and even introspective at times, it is all stage acting for them. To keep from being further drawn in we need to read their words like the lines from a movie and not as a true indicator of their heart. ~Ruth
