The Pathological Narcissist's Blame Shift

It takes a very strong person to withstand repeated gaslighting. The narcissist wants to punish you for things you haven't done because his disorder demands that he punish someone and he simply cannot stand for it to always be him. Part of the way pathological narcissism works is that it prohibits the narcissist from accepting or even seeing when he is to blame. Always. It doesn't matter how much he has to twist things to achieve this, he always achieves it.
