What is Mirroring, And Why Do Narcissists Do It?
Knowledge is power! It’s another manipulation game to hurt you.
Let’s start by asking or reflecting on why so many of you have fallen in love with a narcissist or stayed in those relationships for a long time.
Because you believe they loved you and saw you as nobody has ever seen you.
Why do you keep going back to the narcissist in your lives because, at some point in time, it felt like they got you, or at the very least, they know what makes you tick, and they push at those pressure points?
How are they so astute? How did they know how to get to you? Because they are the masters of mirroring.
First of all, why do we look into mirrors? We look in the mirrors to see ourselves. We can only do it with a mirror or a photograph; an accurate mirror reflects our face and body. We will always likely notice, but a mirror is just that it’s merely a reflection.
Psychological mirroring is a different game. When someone mirrors us, they’re doing a range of things. For example, they may emulate us, be interested in us, share our interests, try to be like we point out our strengths, gently point out our weaknesses, and reflect.
