What is future faking, exactly, and how does a narcissist use it against you? Have you ever dealt with a future faking narcissist? What is future faking and how can you avoid falling for it in the future?
If you think back to the beginning of your relationship with your narcissist, do you recall all the big promises (actual or implied) that were made to you – and how many of them didn’t seem to pan out the way the narcissist promised?
That’s what we’re discussing today – future faking and how narcissists use it against their victims. We will define future faking and offer various examples of it, plus explain the psychology behind it.
It’s just one more way the NPD person engages in manipulation against their victim . Add it to gaslighting and direct psychological abuse, and you can’t blame us for ending up with CPTSD.
