Smear Campaign in Narcissism | Sarah Moloi

We will be learning about one of the abusive ways a narcissist employs to further torture their target during and after the relationship. What is a smear campaign? It is the intentional and systematic dissemination of deceptive information designed to undermine, discredit, and further isolate you. The narcissist paints you in a misleading and toxic light using strategies including but not limited to exaggeration, instigation of rumours, slander, character assassination and lies. To get you where it really hurts, they target any person available to them who matters to you. No one and nothing is off-limits to the narcissist. This encompasses your family members, all friends both mutual and non-mutual, employer, co-workers, and members of communities to which you belong (e.g.: neighbours, church, volunteering organisations, sports teams etc.). Anyone accessible to the narcissist in your professional and personal networks is fair game. Now listen on, be informed and help raise awareness.
