They play victim to control the narrative so the truth about why you cut them off never comes out.

Описание: Let’s talk about blame-shifting and narrative control.

When someone can’t control you,
they often try to control the story.

This shows up as half-truths, selective memory, and presenting themselves as confused or victimized while leaving out their behavior and disrespect.

Blame-shifting moves the focus
from what they did - to how you reacted.

Narrative control isn’t about truth
it’s about protecting an image
and avoiding accountability.

Entitlement is often at the core.

When someone feels entitled to your time, energy, or forgiveness, boundaries become a problem because boundaries challenge their assumed right to access you.

That’s why setting boundaries
is often followed by lies or smear campaigns.

And why silence, distance, or self-protection gets reframed as holding a grudge, being “unforgiving,” “bitter,” “dramatic,”or “difficult.”

This sense of entitlement often includes:

Believing rules don’t apply to them

-Expecting special treatment

-Minimizing your needs while prioritizing their own

-Viewing access or forgiveness as owed, not earned.

At the core, they want control without accountability, and access without consequences.

You’re not the villain.
You’re the boundary.

If the truth threatens their image,
expect distortion and false narratives.

You are allowed to protect your space, time, energy and mental health from negativity and dysfunction.

Distance is a reasonable response to disrespect.

Guard Your Energy. ✨
