- Narcissism originates from the Greek mythology, where the young Narcissus fell in love with his own self reflection in a pool. The term was later popularized by the doctor Sigmund Freud. The American psychiatric association (APA) has included narcissistic personality disorder, as part of the DSM since 1968. Do you suspect yourself growing with a narcissistic parent?

What was your best childhood memory? My was playing in the basketball court where I used to live. Comment yours.
When summer would come and I’d go stay with my grandparents.
I don't have none
Running to the Backyard with three of my Friends in the Winter and having a Snowball fight. Good Times.
Becoming an adult.
Everytime my father is away... What a relief everytime.
My moms the biggest narcissistic asshole out there. She always talks about how she was bullied growing up... meanwhile she’s the biggest bully I’ve met.. no lie. I’m starting to think she wanted to be the bully growing up, and hated how she was bullied by the people she wanted to be.
My mom isn't narcissistic, but my grandma was.
I lived very close to her, I was around her a lot and I didn't even realize until later that I was starting to become narcissistic because of being around her
mom: complains about how forgetful I am and how I wont survive college dorm life cuz i'll lose and misplace my things
Immediately after: "Have you seen my makeup?
me: No
Mom: I cant find it. I think I misplaced it.
*silently smirks and giggles in the inside*
Wandering in the forest when we went camping during the summer. So peaceful, so magical, so beautiful.
This made me to love my parents more
Even though they are kinda like those helicopter parents, but yo atleast they care about me and my feelings.
I hope Im not the only one.
Narcissists should be publicly executed.
Or serve a life sentence and get a taste of their own medicine.
1. They are always right no matter what.
2. They know what's best for you even if it's not.
3. They keep boasting about how much work they do for you and how much money they are putting behind you.
4. Your feelings don't matter to them. If you feel sad or start crying , it becomes a drama to them.
5. They always try to manipulate you and not let you have your own choices.
6. They demotivate you if you trying to do something different from their wishes.
7. They force you to marry and have children and will call you homosexual or mental if u don't do those.
8. They always try to force the blame on you during any incidents.
9. They blackmail you emotionally.
10. Assertiveness, even if u are right, is considered as disrespectful and rebellious behaviour.
11. They don't let you have a private space.
12. They keep surfing through your phone and documents.
13. They keep yelling at you even if the matter is not that serious.
14. They always land a beating to you for talking back to them , even if you are right and they are diehart wrong.
15. They keep comparing you from your friends, brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.
16. They always expect you to be perfect at everything.
17. They don't take any of your words seriously.

Is this why i feel empty a lot?

My dad is a fucking dipshit narcissist

Why does the thumbnail give me Hazbin Hotel vibes???
Whew! Thank god my mother and father wasn't this way. Miss them
Would an example of narcissistic parenting be, asking/demanding money from child for taking them to work? And then threatening not to take them to work anymore? Even though they don’t have a car or license? Or if the parent makes the child feel bad for not offering/giving money to them?
"They can try to control every aspect of your life, such as the career you decide to take, who you choose to date, and when you move out."
Me: "Yeah, all of the above"
Whatever I say, I get the same reply:
*'I am your parent, I know you better than yourself.'*
*'Am I your parent or you are mine?'*
My both parents sucks. They dont care about how i feel.im sad. But i know how they feel because im an POWERFULL CLAIRSENTIENT empath. They are "also morons. Im ill and they dont care. AND I HATE THEM I WILL DESTROY THEM WITH THE !!!!!!!!!! I WILL DESTROY THEM!!!!!

My dad is one
It really fucked me up big time, I'm just realizing this now. I have no idea who I am or what I want to do even now at 26. Years of constany condescending tones, yelling, blaming, shaming, and of course constant story twists, outright lies, or bending truth/telling me I don't remwmbwr correctly. I have constantly been criticized, forced to conform to their religion, opinions, the clothes I wear everything. My parents never had any boundaries either and still don't until this day. It seems like just when things are going good in my life something bad or unexpected happens like my car breaking down or me losing my job. I have never felt more anxious, confused, and lost in my whole life, and the worst part of all of it is everyone I talk to doubts my feelings, and suggests that I nees to grow up, and just forgive all the bullshit that happened because they're my family. The other day all my doubts about them being narcissists were smashed when my dad started bringing up subjects, and things that I never even said. Things started to get worse when my dad deliberately deprived me of sleeping by waking or keeping me up at all hours of the night by either making loud noises on purpose, coming into my room, and shaking me, or just generally being annoying. I went days without sleep, and he would always either sarcastically say in an innocent voice "oh how did you sleep" or "did you get some sleep" He would have this sick fucking smile on my face like it was all a joke to him. And the other day he tried manipulating me into feeling guilty by saying "dont believe what other people tell you they're tying to tear our family apart while fake crying". He has also doubled down on the tactics by constantly moving my things around, and blaming me for it. My whole life the only time my parents showed love was when I obeyed and listened, if I didn't it was always the silent treatment or some other punishment. They want me to go to family therapy with them to fix it, but its just more bs, and manipulation. I'm fucking tired of this bullshit!!!!
I HATE IT when people would say “you only have one mother.” We’ll I rather have no mother than have a narcissistic one in my life. That’s real talk.
I think my mother might be narcissistic. I’m not sure but she always guilt trips me. Like example, if I wanna hangout with my friends she’ll always says that she need help with something. And give this look that like (I’m not thankful or I should be her than my friends. Then I feel bad so I usually shorten the time with my friends so I can help my mom with whatever she needs. And when I finally stand up for myself she only call me a brat or says that I’m not thankful. She only notices when I do something wrong. And I feel like I a maid not her daughter all I do is clean clean and clean we never have fun. And when I try to hangout with her she only tells me to clean. But sometimes she can be such a good mother like the best of best and make you feel like 1million dollar. Then she’ll expect you to do something for her. It’s like she doesn’t have to say it . You can just see it in her eyes. I just want my mom to be like she used to be always fun and outgoing now she’s not the same person. Ever since my stepdad came into are life. And their always excluding me and my sister from everything.
I miss my old mom. I want her back.
My bad went through my stuff and threw away my yearbook. This is irreplaceable. My childhood memories were just dumped in the trash. It still bothers me.
The receiving gifts with strings attached speak to me on another level. My father once gave me my stepmoms old iphone 6 for my 13th birthday and asked for it back 1 year later so my stepmoms niece good have it. So i declined because it was the only thing i got for my birthday after my parents divorced, and since my mom had joint custody i would call her to pick me up once a week for 1 hour after sports at school. So he just took it by force and said I was ungrateful and that i should be lucky i even had a phone. Since then i havent had a birthday present for longer than 1 year from my father. He also kicked me out of my room so my stepmom could have the bigger rooms for her clothes. This made me feel like he views my stepmothers clothes as more value than his own son. Anyone that has a cop as a father and struggles with similiar things to this, i would love to hear back from u guys. Its been 3 to 4 years since my parents divorced.
Both scapegoat and goldenchild will suffer.
Oh yes ive been dealing with a narc parent its realy not easy.
It's horrible to think how toxic desi parenting is 😭
Literally most of these examples can be seen in desi parents smh
Honestly, I’m not perfect and I’ll do something little like talk back and my mom treats it like I just murdered someone and will go on and on about how she shouldn’t do things for me or how she shouldn’t be my mother
I'm 22 years old and my parents don't let me make decisions. It's come to the point where I don't even know how to make decisions for myself. And on top of that, my parents are trying to stop me from playing videos, watching anime, and cosplaying because they tell me I'm addicted to it. The worst part is I don't even know if I'm in the wrong here. It's very confusing and frustrating.
Oof
My mom is a total narcissist and my dad was just hateful and cruel all that definitely fits my mother 100% she is a narcissistic control freak and I have lived in an extremely toxic environment
Wow this is my dad exactly. Glad to see it is a trait I just thought he was an asshole all my years growing up
I need to stop watching these videos about toxic parental relationships with their children....
For my 16th b-day, my step mom got me an expensive bracelet. A year later was a rough one for my "behavior" so she took it away.
I actually had no idea my mother was a narcissist. I just described the abuse/neglect I received to someone else and they told me that I should look into it. Lo and behold, here I am, feeling flummoxed at how many things match up.
I've experienced the 6th and 7th. It's painful. My parents always seem to be amazing. I still love my parents. I just wish I had more freedom, privacy and space for myself. It gets quite frustrating at times.
Yep. I relate with all of these.
Did you mean: my st*p m*m
My mother was one big time.
I am 35 years old and live with my narc mother. She enters my room without knocking. "Cleans" my room when I'm gone but avoids me and my room when I'm home. And, then when she gets mad at me throughs it my face.
When my mom bought me something (even without asking) as a child, she’d treat me like shit until I tried to stand up for myself. Then she would use the gift against me and threatened to take it away. My mother is a narcissist to a T
Me: why werent you there for me when I was bullied? And cut myself? And tried to kill myself?
Mom: yes, I know I am a worthless mother.
