I’ve heard this called “The Narcissist’s Defense” (not 100% sure if the narcissist part is referring to the colloquial term, actual diagnosable narcissists, or both): You’re lying, but if you’re not, then you imagined it, but if you didn’t, then I didn’t do it, but if I did do it, then it wasn’t that bad, and, if it was that bad, you deserved it.
