Truth Tuesday: Don't Get Lost in "Mirrorland" 🪞
In my book, The Boy with the Blue Bike, Leo visits a neighborhood called Mirrorland. On the surface, it’s a place filled with shiny glass buildings. But the deeper truth? It is a metaphor for the confusing, empty world of a narcissist.
Does this sound familiar?
- The Warped Reality (Gaslighting): In the story, the people's reflections constantly change—one minute stretched, the next puffy. The reality never stays still. Narcissists do this to us. They shift the narrative so fast that we don't know which version of them (or ourselves) is real.
- The Denial of Truth: Leo points to a chocolate tart in the bakery, and the baker asks, "Are you sure that's a tart?". He questions Leo's own eyes. This is classic gaslighting. They make you doubt the plain facts standing right in front of you.
- The Emptiness: Leo notices that despite the shiny exterior, everyone is just staring at themselves, and "It all feels so empty".
Your Tactical Truth for Today: In the book, Leo and Jasper realize they can't trust the visual reflections because they are all mazes and tricks. Instead, they close their eyes and trust their other senses—they follow the smell of fresh bread to find the truth.
Stop trying to make sense of their mirrors. The narcissist's reflection of you is warped. It is not real. Like Leo, you have to stop looking at their "glass maze" and trust your own gut again.
👇 Tell me below: What is one "warped truth" or lie the narcissist tried to tell you about yourself that you are refusing to believe today?
