Impression management.
The truth is that narcissists are very adept at impression management – in managing the ways others perceive them. They will appear to praise their victims in public, all while criticizing and demeaning them in private. They will provoke their victims into emotionally reacting – and they will use their reactions to the abuse to depict them as “unhinged.” This is the way they both simultaneously isolate and covertly abuse their loved ones behind closed doors – all while making their victims look like the abusers to law enforcement, to their social networks and to society as a whole.
Moreover, narcissists know how to build a stellar reputation. They will defer to those they know have more power than them (at least momentarily, in order to find out how to manipulate them), but they will also hunt the seemingly powerless on the down-low. They will appear to be conscientious about the feelings and ideas of others, when in reality, they are gathering intel as to who is vital for their agenda and who must be diminished so they can take the throne. They are collecting information to see which weak spots they can exploit, and even which strengths they can use against the victim to make their target feel most powerless.
