Since narcissists often invent elaborate stories, they struggle to keep track of all the fabricated details. Over time, inconsistencies emerge in their narratives. To test this, ask the same question about an event on separate occasions. If the story varies significantly in dates, times, or specifics, they may be lying. Rather than confronting them immediately, which could lead to blame-shifting, note these inconsistencies as a way to ground yourself in reality and counter their attempts to make you question your perception.
In conclusion, to spot a narcissist’s lies, take a step back and observe dispassionately. By not playing their game, you empower yourself to see the truth.
