*False Sense of Self: The narcissist has a false sense of self. Underlying this false sense of self are feelings that he is not loveable for who he is or what he offers in relationships.

==FOG: Fear, Obligation and Guilt== | |||
In the context of narcissistic abuse, "fog" refers to the Fear, Obligation, and Guilt tactics used by narcissists to manipulate and control their targets, creating a sense of confusion and disorientation. | |||
* F - Fear: | |||
* Narcissists often instill fear in their targets, whether it's fear of abandonment, retribution, or exposure of their secrets. | |||
* O - Obligation: | |||
* They manipulate their targets into feeling obligated to meet their needs, even when those needs are unreasonable or harmful. | |||
* G - Guilt: | |||
* Narcissists frequently use guilt-tripping to control their targets, making them feel responsible for the narcissist's actions or emotional state. | |||
By using these tactics, narcissists create a "fog" that makes it difficult for their targets to see the truth, understand their own feelings, or make decisions in their own best interest. The emotional manipulation and control associated with the "fog" can have long-term effects on the victim's mental and physical health, leading to anxiety, depression, and other issues. | |||
