Understanding Narcissism, by Elizabeth Shaw.
No matter how much you beg a narcissist to stop, they will push you past your limits until you snap. Then, when you finally react, they stand back, act shocked, play the victim, and call you crazy.
Anyone who has lived through narcissistic abuse knows this cycle far too well.
And that’s exactly why A Narcissist’s Handbook exists.
This book breaks down the psychological tactics narcissists use to provoke you, gaslight you, and then weaponise your reactions against you. It exposes the patterns they repeat with every victim — and the exact reasons they need you to look like the problem.
Inside, you’ll learn:
🔥 Why narcissists deliberately push your emotional limits
🔥 How they use manipulation to provoke a reaction
🔥 Why they pretend to be the innocent one afterwards
🔥 Why they NEED you to look unstable to protect their image
🔥 How to spot the cycle before it spirals
🔥 How to take back your power and stop being controlled
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, blamed, or made to look like the villain while they play the victim, this book will give you clarity you didn’t know you needed.

You weren’t crazy.
You were provoked.
And now, you can finally understand why.

One of the Most Confusing Things About a Narcissist Is How Selectively They Control Their Behaviour
One of the most confusing things about a narcissist is that they can control their behaviour — they just choose not to unless it benefits them. Victims are often left wondering why the narcissist can be charming, calm, polite, and measured around outsiders, yet cruel, explosive, or indifferent behind closed doors. The answer is simple: their behaviour is strategic, not accidental.
A narcissist doesn’t lack control. They lack accountability.
They can regulate their tone when speaking to someone they want to impress. They can hold back their rage when there’s something to gain. They can act kind, attentive, and reasonable when they know others are watching. But when the cameras are off and there’s nothing in it for them, the mask slips.
This selective self-control is what makes the abuse so confusing. If their behaviour were truly uncontrollable, it would be consistent. Instead, it’s targeted — reserved for the person they feel safest exploiting.
Understanding this is powerful. It shows that their cruelty isn’t your fault and wasn’t triggered by your behaviour. It was a choice. And if someone can choose when to be respectful, they could choose to be respectful all the time — they just don’t see you as someone they need to respect.

Understanding Narcissism, by Elizabeth Shaw.
To a narcissist, accountability feels like an attack. That’s why they lie, deflect, rage, cry, or disappear the moment you confront the truth.
Narcissists don’t fear the truth — they fear being held responsible for it. Accountability threatens the fragile ego they work so hard to protect. The moment you point out something they’ve done, the mask slips, and their behaviour becomes reactive, dramatic, or downright explosive.
Instead of listening, they lie to rewrite the story.
Instead of owning their actions, they deflect and bring up your flaws.
Instead of staying calm, they rage to intimidate you.
If rage doesn’t work, they switch to crying or playing the victim, hoping your empathy will rescue them.
If none of that gets them control, they disappear — the silent treatment becomes their punishment.
To them, accountability isn’t a conversation. It’s a threat. A challenge. A reminder that they are not the flawless, superior figure they believe themselves to be. Admitting they were wrong feels like humiliation, and taking responsibility feels like surrender.
But here’s the truth: their reaction has nothing to do with your approach and everything to do with their inability to self-reflect.
You didn’t do anything wrong by speaking up.
Their behaviour simply confirms why you needed to.

Narcissists Withhold to Control You
Narcissists withhold attention, affection and support to destroy your self-esteem. They know that emotional starvation is one of the quickest ways to make you doubt yourself and depend on them. By giving affection one day and pulling it away the next, they keep you off balance, questioning what you did wrong and how to “earn” their approval again.
This isn’t love — it’s manipulation. The goal is control, not connection.
To understand these tactics and protect your emotional wellbeing, A Narcissist’s Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Understanding and Overcoming Narcissistic and Emotional Abuse offers clear insight and practical tools.

Understanding Narcissism, by Elizabeth Shaw.
“The scapegoat is punished for telling the truth the rest of the family is terrified to admit.”
In a narcissistic family system, the scapegoat is not chosen because they are difficult, rebellious, or flawed. They are chosen because they see what others fear to acknowledge. While the rest of the family stays silent to protect the narcissist’s image, the scapegoat is the one who questions, notices, and refuses to pretend. Their honesty becomes a threat — not because it is wrong, but because it exposes everything the family works so hard to hide.
Rather than confronting the dysfunction, the family turns on the scapegoat. They blame them, shame them, and label them as the problem. This dynamic keeps the narcissist in power and maintains the illusion of a “perfect” family. The scapegoat becomes the emotional dumping ground, carrying guilt and responsibility that never belonged to them.
But the truth is simple: the scapegoat is punished because they see too much. Their clarity disrupts the narcissist’s narrative. Their courage highlights others’ fear. And their refusal to comply threatens the entire structure built on denial.
With healing, many scapegoats realise this: they were never the issue. They were the only one brave enough to acknowledge the truth everyone else hid from.

Understanding Narcissism, by Elizabeth Shaw.
A narcissist will not change; they just blame everything on everybody else, then move on to someone unaware of their manipulation.
Narcissists don’t grow, reflect, or take accountability. Instead, they rewrite the story, shift the blame, and protect their ego at all costs. When their behaviour finally catches up with them, they don’t fix it — they simply find a new person to deceive. The cycle continues because change requires self-awareness, and a narcissist refuses to look in the mirror.
Recognising these patterns is essential to breaking free.
A Narcissist’s Handbook explains these behaviours in depth and gives you the tools to protect yourself from their manipulation.

A Narcissist Will Always Leave Out the Part of the Story Where They Fucked Up
A narcissist will always leave out the part of the story where they fucked up — then accuse you of doing exactly what they did. This is one of their most predictable manipulation tactics, and it’s designed to protect their fragile ego while shifting blame onto you.
When a narcissist tells a story, they carefully remove anything that makes them look careless, cruel, or dishonest. They present a polished version of events where they’re the misunderstood victim and you’re the unreasonable one. By the time they’re done, the truth is unrecognisable.
Then comes the projection. Instead of owning their behaviour, they accuse you of the very actions they’re guilty of. If they lied, you’re “the liar”. If they overreacted, you’re “too emotional”. If they caused the problem, you’re “the drama”. The goal is simple: confuse you, discredit you, and keep themselves in the clear.
Over time, this constant rewriting of reality can make you question your memory, your feelings, and your sanity. But the pattern is unmistakable: they hide their mistakes and highlight yours.
Remember this — their version of events isn’t the truth. It’s a defence mechanism. You’re not losing your mind. You’re dealing with manipulation.

Better to Have Loved and Lost Than to Stay with a Narcissist
There’s an old saying: “It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” When it comes to narcissistic psychopaths, this adage takes on an even deeper meaning. Staying in a relationship with a narcissist can be emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically draining. The love they offer is often conditional, manipulative, and intertwined with control, guilt, and gaslighting.
A narcissist thrives on power and dominance. Your needs, feelings, and boundaries are secondary to their desire for admiration and validation. Over time, living under this constant strain erodes self-esteem, creates anxiety, and can leave you questioning your own reality. The highs—the charm, attention, and affection—come at the cost of your emotional stability, while the lows—criticism, devaluation, and manipulation—leave long-lasting scars.
Walking away, painful as it may feel, is a courageous act of self-preservation. Choosing freedom over toxicity allows you to heal, reclaim your identity, and eventually open yourself to relationships that are nurturing and reciprocal.
You deserve love that uplifts, not one that diminishes. Understanding the patterns of narcissistic behaviour is essential to protect yourself.

Understanding Narcissism, by Elizabeth Shaw.
When you cut a narcissist out of your life, they will never tell the full story. They’ll only share the part that makes you look bad and them look like the poor, innocent victim.
This is because losing control terrifies them. The moment you walk away, their priority becomes protecting their image, not acknowledging the truth. They can’t allow anyone to see the real reason the relationship ended — their behaviour, their manipulation, their lies — so they rewrite the story in a way that keeps their ego safe.
In their version, you’re the unreasonable one. You’re the unstable one. You’re the cold, heartless person who walked away “for no reason”. They leave out the cruelty, the gaslighting, the disrespect, and the endless emotional damage they caused. Those details disappear because they expose the truth: you left to survive, not to hurt them.
Narcissists rely on half-truths and selective storytelling to gain sympathy and maintain control over the narrative. They need an audience who sees them as the victim, because facing the reality of their actions would mean taking accountability — something they refuse to do.
But you don’t need to defend yourself.
The people who matter will see the truth, and the ones who believe the narcissist’s version were never on your side to begin with.
