NPD - manipulation

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is often marked by manipulation, control, and suppression of others' voices and identities.

Those with NPD frequently use tactics to dominate conversations, dismiss opposing viewpoints, and invalidate others' experiences. They may silence or censor those around them, making it difficult for others to express themselves freely. Their need for control often extends to shaping narratives, distorting reality, and ensuring that only their perspective is heard. This can leave those in their orbit feeling unheard, powerless, and disconnected from their true selves.
