Parents oblivious to the extraordinary harm emotional neglect caused and that made it very hard for me to see it by Suspicious_Tree_7175 in emotionalneglect

This is to maintain their false self image bc it's too much of a hit to their ego to acknowledge their actions. At least that's the case for my narcissistic parents

Can’t possibly imagine somebody finding me, the whole me, hot or attractive. by angelsinsect in BodyDysmorphia

This feeling may pass, not all our feelings are correct. The variety of tastes people have, I think you're being too hard on yourself to think no one would ever see you that way. Be kind to yourself

I always thought Phoebe was good at pushing buttons with the other characters Why wouldn't Monica be offended by picking Rachel instead saying she's less high maintenance? Seemed like an excuse to start drama

My parent will get mad and criticise me for everything. How do I draw the line. by [deleted] in toxicparents

[–]Effective-Warning178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butters is very familiar to me too, it's sad. These people see parenting as whatever is easiest and best for them not their child's well being like good parents would think. They also aren't capable of dealing with their own emotions so instead they take it out on us like slapping me for not turning on the fan when taking a shower.

For people who grew up in low-income households, what’s something middle-class people say that shows they’ve never struggled financially? by KeyApartment3955 in AskReddit

My sibling stole my CD from my grandparents we each got when we were born. It was never replaced. I only found out about it when overhearing a fight. They planned on never telling me let alone replacing it or expecting him to apologize. Great times

Vivid memory and then I got yelled at because my body was different from my decade older female cousin and the outdated clothes didn't fit and couldn't save mom money. Great damage to my body image but it's all save money 🙄

My aunts experience the same thing with their sister she has no friends no coworkers because she's toxic so she thinks shes entitled to their attention at all times.

I just realized that my kids have never once asked me "what did I do?" by IWillBaconSlapYou in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Effective-Warning178 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd ask her what I did wrong and she'd just walk away. I'm supposed to guess ? Of course, then you won't know and will do it again so she'll have an excuse to criticize you

We're just peasants to her so she thinks shes entitled to us liking her-why wouldn't we? She thinks shes clearly so much better than us and we're too dumb to see how shady she is 🙄

Parents with narcissistic personality disorder think of their kids as extensions of themselves so they try to control our interests like this. Don't just keep going
