Untrustworthy Narrator

Childhood is used to justify any action or statement of opinion to gain a defined projected image at any cost. It can be above or below the radar, done through others who never think twice, may have high levels of truth bias, and feel their own baggage is fuel to follow the trauma bond or triangulation.

The untrustworthy narrator is fully aware of their own action and statements and requires hurt or a goal to be achieved. Stemming hurt through imagining something working or making two groups gain conflict. The narrator is never hiding anything; they are hiding something, or why else would the game be so important.

Aside from a victim card, the second red flag is the lack of direct connection, as the truth puts off the narrator, who is trying something different to make situations fit their narrative not the facts.

Narcissism has a link to denying reality, self-awareness, a lack of emotional maturity, and going beyond boundaries, like a child before education and balance or child in an effected situation that gains different tools to survive. The difference can be seen in a plant growing in good nursing soil and another plant growing in stones. Not everyone becomes a recycled product of the abuse cycle and projects; some break the chain and choose not to inflict the same narration they had. An adult should never justify repeating abuse because they endured it.

What should be trusted is facts and positive action to not narrate through others and create flying monkeys to avoid getting hands dirty.

The goal is to seek the objective through lying, and lying is done in certain pathways, compensating behaviour.

Gatekeeping is an unhealthy action, the same as enabling.

In Story Drama this position offers a plot device, a detached person with an agenda to trick in some way for person gain or to hide. No moral code to speak of, simply Amoral when the reveal is given.
