“Unmasking Manipulation: 8 Phrases Narcissists Use to Diminish Your Worth”
3) “You’re just jealous”
Rolling this phrase out is the narcissist’s way of turning the tables on you.
They’ll use it when they feel threatened or want to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
Psychologists call this ‘projection’. It’s a defense mechanism where they project their own negative feelings onto you.
Instead of admitting they’re jealous or insecure, they’ll accuse you of being the jealous one.
It’s a clever tactic, really. It diverts attention away from their flaws and puts you on the defensive.
