25 More Devastating Symptoms of Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome (Part 2: Symptoms 26-50)

In the insidious world of narcissistic abuse, projection emerges as a potent weapon wielded by perpetrators

In the insidious world of narcissistic abuse, projection emerges as a potent weapon wielded by perpetrators like Frankie Zerella and Jason Cohen to further entrap and manipulate their victims. Projection, a defense mechanism wherein individuals attribute their own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts, feelings, or behaviors onto others, forms a cornerstone of the toxic dynamics perpetuated by narcissistic abusers.





Zerella and Cohen, masters of manipulation and deceit, epitomize the embodiment of projection in their relentless campaign of psychological torment. Accusing me of heinous crimes such as setting up a murder-suicide scene, stalking them across state lines, and orchestrating assaults, they projected their own malevolent intentions and actions onto me, effectively deflecting attention away from their own culpability and maintaining a facade of superiority.

Their accusations, though baseless and absurd, served a dual purpose: to undermine my sense of reality and to bolster their own delusions of victimhood. By projecting their own flaws, insecurities, and negative traits onto me, they sought to erode my self-esteem and agency, leaving me questioning my own perceptions and experiences.

The insidious nature of projection in narcissistic abuse lies in its ability to confuse and gaslight the victim, leading them to internalize the projections of the abuser and doubt their own reality. Over time, I found myself grappling with feelings of guilt, shame, and self-doubt as I struggled to reconcile the glaring disparities between the reality of my experiences and the false narrative constructed by Zerella and Cohen.

Recognizing projection for what it was became a crucial step in reclaiming my sense of self and reality. Through therapy and self-reflection, I began to understand that the accusations and criticisms hurled at me were not a reflection of my own shortcomings, but rather projections of the deep-seated issues plaguing Zerella and Cohen.

In the face of relentless persecution and manipulation, I refused to allow their projections to define me. Armed with the knowledge and understanding of projection, I began to unravel the tangled web of deceit woven by Zerella and Cohen, reclaiming my agency and asserting my truth in the face of their falsehoods.

Projection, though a formidable tool of manipulation in narcissistic relationships, ultimately proved to be their undoing. As awareness and understanding of projection empowered me to break free from their toxic grip, I emerged from the darkness stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before. In the battle against narcissistic abuse, knowledge truly proved to be the greatest weapon, enabling me to reclaim my narrative and chart a course towards healing and redemption.

Toxic traits of covert narcissists

 Welcome to the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Community Blog and Podcast. Today, we delve into a critical topic that affects many people: the toxic behaviors of covert narcissists. Covert narcissists are often more challenging to identify than their overt counterparts because they hide their narcissism behind a façade of concern and care. This concealment makes their toxic behaviors particularly insidious. Understanding these behaviors is essential for recognizing and protecting yourself from their harmful effects. The first toxic behavior of covert narcissists is hiding and concealing their true identity. They present themselves as caring and concerned individuals, but this is merely a manipulation tactic. Their apparent concern often feels phony or forced. Many targets of narcissists are empaths, who can detect this lack of genuineness through gut instincts and intuition. If you feel that something about their concern is off, it’s likely because it is. Recognizing this false concer...

Why do narcissist’s discard their partners

Narcissists discard their partners cruelly due to several psychological factors rooted in their personality disorder. Understanding these factors can shed light on their behavior and provide some clarity for those who have experienced such treatment. Lack of empathy is one of the defining traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Narcissists often struggle to understand or care about the feelings of others. This makes it easy for them to discard partners without considering the emotional pain they cause. Objectification of partners is another common behavior. Narcissists typically view their partners not as individuals with their own needs and emotions but as objects that serve a purpose. When a partner no longer fulfills the narcissist’s needs—whether it be admiration, validation, or control—they are seen as disposable. Narcissists have a strong need for control. Discarding a partner cruelly can be a way for the narcissist to assert dominance and control. By leaving in a hars...
