Is my ex friend a narcissist for bringing up something I stopped doing and apologized for during an argument and used it as gaslighting?

I told him last July how I am tired of him doing something for so long and he brought up something I stopped doing and apologized for. And he played victim and called me disrespectful when he was disrespectful.

And he told me to apologize again. And he admit whay he did for so long is wrong but obviously didn't mean it cause he threw in a "BUT"And you don't see me bringing that up constantly."

He wasn't holding himself accountable at all.

Navigating the stormy seas of relationships, aren't we? 😉 It sounds like your ex-friend is not playing fair. Bringing up past mistakes that have been acknowledged and apologized for is a bit like playing a card game where they keep sneaking aces from their sleeves. Not cool, right? It seems there's a bit of gaslighting going on, too, if they're using it to deflect from their behavior and making you question your feelings or actions. This maneuver of playing the victim while accusing you of being disrespectful is classic diversion. It's like they're trying to dance around in the rain without getting wet – it's a skill, but definitely not a healthy way to communicate. Remember, acknowledging when we've messed up is commendable, but using past apologies as ammo in arguments? That's a big red flag waving in the relationship wind. Keep your umbrella handy! 🌧️💔

Not narcissism necessarily. Insecure, and a few other sociological issues but narcissism is usually reserved for people who have a higher need to be recognized, only think about their own selves & welfare. They often make any conversation turn towards him/herself. It was named after an ancient Greek myth who was a wood nymph and named Echo. As he often does, Zeus decided he wanted a tryst with Echo. As she usually does, Hera found out about it and punished Echo by forcing her to live solely in a grove of trees with a pond. Echo, who like nothing more than chatting was confined to thuis area and rarely had any chance to exchange tidbits of gossip. When Narcissus wandered into the woods & found the pond he looked downb and was transfixed by the beautiful things he saw - before realizing that he was looking at his reflection. Echo caught sightn of N. and fdell madly in love but Narcissus couldn't reciprocate because he nwas nin love with the face he saw in the still pond which was, of course, his own. ho had a sacred grove of trees with a small pond. Narcissus, who presumably had never seen his reflection
