What Does It Look Like to Keep Your Mistakes in View?
“My sins are always before me” means:
1. I don’t erase my mistakes.
2. I don’t rewrite the story to protect my ego.
3. I don’t pretend I was right.
4. I let the truth stay visible.
5. There are times to meditate on a mistake
That requires strength. It requires secure identity. It requires knowing your worth is bigger than your behavior.
Why Can’t a Narcissist Relate to This?
Why a Narcissist Can’t Relate to This
A narcissistic personality structure survives by:
1. Avoiding shame at all costs because of low self esteem
2. Rewriting events

4. Protecting a fragile self-image
