signs your parents are narcissistic?

I feel like people here are always questioning if their parents are truly narcissistic, I've questioned it myself, I have watched countless videos and here are 3 signs that I think are important

  1. Gaslighting (they'll always tell you that u are remembering situations wrong)

  2. No Boundaries (if you tell them you are upset with them they'll tell you that you are actually hurting them and it's your fault)

  3. Holding Parental Duties Against You (remember when your parent took you too school from aged 2-13 welp prepared to get reminded that you owe them the time that they wasted on you for doing basic parenting)

I hate being shamed for not knowing how to do things

I remember a school trip how one of my roomates gave me such a slaggy talk after I told her I don't brush my teeth before bed.

I wish people were understanding that not everyone was taught basic hygiene skills

is anyone going to turn their daydreams into movies ?

I daydream 90% everyday and I always thought maybe I could turn this into some type of film but even then I daydream the film and can't necessarily articulate it on paper because my thoughts are always changing.

don't EVER give a narcissistic something you own

My stupid excuse of my brother corrupted my files of a school trip I went too. why? because "he didn't have any USB so he'll just empty mine with over like 10gb" literally a grown man.

my mum will just insult me and take my fan,my charger,my lotions anything she feels entitled too because she raised me

it's annoying

I an the only sane person in my family

my mum is an instigating guilttripping narcissistic who cares about helping other kids traumas and calls me 10 insults a day

my young brother is a future criminal,he's violent and aggressive and only wants money

my older brother is illiterate and sometimes annoying and he keeps "playfighting" me and is a hypocrite

my auntie is "homeless" and Ives around shittalking my mum and only calls to get info from me

my grandma is a ragebaiter and doesn't care

and me? just the middle child who can't be angry or ill get attacked or harmed so I have too be positive or else my boy mum will label me aggressive :))) *TYPOS

I am so empathetic and unsympathetic

I am empathetic because i can easily sense and mirror emotions when someone is upset, I can feel empathy and act like I care

but i am also unsympathetic because I don't know how to actually act. like deep down I don't really want to give a hug or hear more of it

I feel like a hypocrite but its hard trying to be nice to the world when the world has never been nice too you

When I go the UNI I won't look back but

I have alot of clothes kinda dumped in my room and I'm unsure if they'll all fit in a luggage to uni.

I know my mum likes to get involved when something gets big for me so I know she'll make that moment the most difficult period of my life.

I'm so anxious when I think about moving because I know she'll pick a fight with me.

narcissistic who act disabled are the worst

my mum acts physically incapable of doing anything.

the charger will be right next to her and she'll ask for it.

she'll ask me to pass her phone. go grab her tissue. get her a pillow. get her water.

and it's constant, you KNOW I'm busy and you KNOW you can do this yourself.

what's ironic is that I can't ask her to pass me anything or else she'll accuse me of taking advantage of her

I find it hard to be an empathetic person

I've been beat down my whole life the point that I don't know how to react to certain situations unless I put on this performance.

if someone told me their dog died,deep down I don't feel anything for them, I don't know how to feel, so I'll end up doing the most in an attempt to comfort them.

my reasoning Is that my narc parent never showed mercy too me growing up whenever I was sad about something. I'm not like this all the time but I do find it hard to be empathetic.

is anyone else's parents unable to be happy for you?

I bought these really cute clothes and instead of my mum just making a compliment and keep it going, she just HAD to say something negative!

she constantly brings down my confidence because she doesn't ever compliment me and will just make a sly comment

I hate having to be defensive over my happiness.

how do you make your home cooler during summer

we can't afford a fan or an ac because that'll put us in debt.

I almost fell asleep in my bathtub as I just dived myself in an ice bath but I don't think that's safe to stay for sleep.

any tips I'll try all.

also the windows being open isn't really being affective I don't feel much of a difference,not sure.

I get scared when theirs thunderstorms

When their is a thunderstorm I assume that the world will flood up and wash away everyone for being sinners.

I cannot sleep when I hear thunder. I sound mental but I feel like the thunder will zap straight into my room for me.

I get d_ath anxiety over thunderstorms and heavy rain

hate when people try too invalidate others feelings on reddit

you could post on a reddit page and cry about being poor in a poorpeople sub and people would deadass be like "get a job" "stop whining" "you don't seem to want to fix your solution" meanwhile the person making 50k is being praised and sugar-coated.

​

like damn I can't cry about my situation,do people just assume I really haven't done anything to fix my solution? why do you think I'm ranting? like people genuinely get triggered when you use a sub for its intended purposes

anyone else feel bad for not liking their mum?

I know my mum has constantly made me feel horrible and has made horrible efforts to try to better. heck I don't think she tries so long as she puts a roof over my head and feeds me and doesn't give me up for foster-care that's enough

​

but I still feel this childish love for her.

​

don't know what to do with these Stockholm emotions

does anyone remember the tiktok trend where people pretended any girl who looked like this was from a made up movie

I remember years ago around covid times everyone would pretend agirl with black short hair people would be like "oh you look like the girl from ____" but the film wasn't real and it was a really popular joke
