Why do Narcissists Create Fake Identities?
The Manipulative Tactics They Use.
Do you know someone who seems to have a perfect life? They always look good, they’re never wrong, and they seem to have it all together. Chances are, you’re dealing with a narcissist. Narcissists are masters of manipulation, and one of the ways they do this is by creating fake identities.
Fake identity created by the narcissist
A narcissist’s fake identity is usually based on exaggeration and distortion. They will often claim to be more intelligent, successful, or attractive than they really are.
In some cases, they may even create an entirely fictional persona. This false identity allows them to project an image of perfection that others will admire and want to be associated with.
The adoration and attention that they receive from others reinforce their sense of self-importance and fuel their ego. Over time, the narcissist may become so invested in their false identity that they lose touch with reality.
This can lead to harmful and dysfunctional behaviors as they become increasingly desperate to maintain their inflated sense of self.
