The smear campaign is one of the oldest narcissistic tricks in the book.
If you think about it, this is what weve been dealing with throughout the entire relationship!
Yes, itishard to stay quiet but the results (and rewards) are amazing and they come quickly.

This strategy works, by the way, even with narcissists that are well received within the community.Italwaysworks.
Think about it objectively.
Imagine that youre part of a group and one couple in the group has a very tumultuous relationship.
Whether they are together or not there is always drama and within the group, everyone is annoyed.
In fact, she doesnt talk or evenwantto talk about the break-up.
Instead, she just mingles with the group.
As time passes, which ex-member of that couple is going to look more favorable to all?
The answer is obvious.
Her silence creates plausible deniabilityin her favorand, again, it always works!
Of course it is.
It can be devastating.
I know this because my ex was a backstabber for 13-years whether we were broken up or not.
Did I ever feel embarrassed socializing with friends knowing what he might be saying when Im not there?
This strategy is foolproof…and why?
Because in the end, the truth really does prevail and our silence allows it to happen.
Just ask a narcissist the master of the silent treatment how powerful a silence can be.
With friends, family, and co-workers, the silent defense is foolproof.
Believe me…the switch-over in the minds of all who listen will be swift.
