Yes in this post I was specifically addressing narcissists-- the ones who actually believe their projections. That's actually the difference between gaslighting and projection. While a narcissist's behavior may seem psychopathic but it is actually the empathy and their own conscience that is the root of the problem. They develop a psychotic break between their true actions and what they perceive so as not to have to deal with their guilt and other negative feelings. Of course, the boundaries aren't clearly defined and people can display some elements of narcissism and sociopathy for instance.
