Adaptive Denial

The process of continually adjusting an untenable position in the face of increasing counter evidence.

When faced with overwhelming evidence against a strongly advocated position, narcissists will use adaptive denial to evade being held to their original statements. “Climate change isn’t real!” morphs into “climate change may be real but people didn’t cause it!” as the evidence mounts against them..

[Panic fuck]

The act of mindlessly lashing out at another when the person feels threatened or in danger.

Beware the ambitious man, they will panic fuck you if they feel exposed.
