ANYTHING — and I mean anything — you have ever said to the narcissist can and will be used against you at any point in time. They listen, but not with love. They listen to gather data, to collect emotional weapons, to prepare for the day when they’ll need to break you down. Every story you share, every childhood wound you reveal, every fear you open up about — they store it like ammunition. At first, they seem so attentive, so understanding, so safe to confide in. You start to believe you’ve found someone who truly gets you. But over time, you realize they weren’t listening to connect — they were listening to control.
The moment you disappoint them, stand up for yourself, or stop feeding their ego, that stored information becomes their greatest weapon. They’ll throw your own words back in your face, distort your truths, mock your pain, and twist your vulnerabilities into proof that you’re the problem. They’ll remind you of things you said years ago, but not out of memory — out of malice. It’s their way of keeping you small, silencing your strength, and making sure you stay tangled in their narrative.
With a narcissist, there’s no such thing as a safe conversation. Your kindness becomes your weakness, your honesty becomes your liability, and your love becomes their leverage. That’s why healing from them means learning to protect your peace, to recognize manipulation disguised as understanding, and to know that not everyone who listens deserves your truth. Some people don’t want to know you — they want to own you. And a narcissist will always use your voice to try and rewrite your story.
