Victim Mentality

When confronted or challenged, Christian narcissists often adopt a victim mentality.

They may claim persecution or spiritual attacks to deflect criticism and to gain sympathy from others.

This tactic not only shields them from accountability but also reinforces their narrative of being uniquely burdened or chosen by God.

It shifts the focus away from their actions and onto their supposed suffering, manipulating others into supporting them.

Consider an Example:

If a Christian narcissist is criticized for their behavior, they might respond with statements like, “The enemy is attacking me because I’m doing God’s work,” or “I’m being persecuted for my faith.”

This deflection not only avoids addressing the real issues but also enlists the sympathy and support of others, effectively silencing legitimate concerns.
