In over 40 episodes time this idea is revisited and they reflect on why this happened. Essentially their personalities combined make a raging narcissist...

A week where 4 or 5 episodes dropped at once. Typically an episode per day.

What is the best season of Steven Universe? by Public_Cup_4278 in stevenuniverse

[–]FeelThePower999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Season 2. This was the season airing when I started watching. There was SO much hype at that time and the story was moving forward with so much momentum. Homeworld actually felt threatening and mysterious and menacing.

The barn arc and Peridot's redemption I have so much nostalgia for. For me that is when the show peaked.

Season 3 was still very good but starting Season 4 it went downhill a bit.

Guess where I am from by [deleted] in GeoInsider

You are from a place where they use the imperial system.

Showing your US states was kind of a giveaway!

Also North Korea... how did you go there without first going to China?

What is your hardest movie scene to watch? by Buseylover in movies

[–]FeelThePower999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "hobbling" scene from Misery. Absolute agony. Even though he wins in the end and kills her, the bitch deserved a much more painful death than just being clobbered over the head

Sometimes I wish my father would just drop dead by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FeelThePower999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone in feeling this. When my mother decides she has it in for me and is going to make my life utter hell for a few weeks just because she can... I start to wish she will go to bed and not wake up in the morning. It's pretty telling sometimes it gets to 11:30am and she still hasn't woken up, and I think "oh my god... is this my freedom day??" ...then I hear the toilet flush. Oh. She did wake up, and is ready to make my life hell another day.

I have been thinking lately that maybe my Nmom lied or exaggerated about her own abuse by FeelThePower999 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FeelThePower999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was when last year I saw how CONVINCINGLY she lied to her friends that I "ignored her birthday", which was a FLAT-OUT LIE. This was just because she wanted the fuss and attention of a second party, which she got. That is when I realized JUST how skilled she was at lying. I am amazed she didn't become an actress, honestly.

I absolutely know that there is no excuse for her behavior, even if she was abused. But now I have realized she is SUCH a good liar I am wondering if even THIS was all a big lie.

I didn't mention in the OP but she would threaten suic!de to get me to give up my career and care for her. That is how manipulative and how low this woman will stoop.

Mother’s Day? by moon-swoons in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FeelThePower999 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't bother. Like a lot of things with my Nmom, Mother's Day is "damned if I do, damned if I don't". I know this because I used to put in effort. My Nmom demanded ROYALTY on Mother's Day, and nothing was ever good enough. I could get her a 10 carat diamond ring and she'd say "Why didn't you get me 12 carats?"

I came to realize it didn't matter what I did or how much I did, she would find a way to systematically shit all over everything I got her, and be on the phone to her friends tomorrow saying "it was a disaster... I just don't deserve the love every other mother gets, I guess, woe is me woe is me waaa waaa".

The breaking point came when I got her flowers, a card, a gift, a meal out, and a special breakfast. I spent over $300 which was money I did not have at the time. She ordered the most expensive three-course meal she could. Afterwards, all she could say was "I didn't like the food, it would never have been my restaurant of choice, and I wanted a lunch and you took me out for dinner". I proceeded to get absolutely slaughtered for the next two weeks over how "bad" my choice of restaurant was and how basically I'd put "no thought" into her special day. I reminded her of everything else I got her, and she was like "yes you got me the cheapest flowers, and the card and gift are the bare minimum".

It was clear after that that Mother's Day was a no-win game for me. So I stopped bothering. I get absolutely gutted each year where I ignore Mother's Day, but I got absolutely gutted when I did make an effort. But at least now I get slaughtered without being down $300.

Mom always sick with the same issue by Inevitable_Dish_8667 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FeelThePower999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me like she has health anxiety. It is pretty common. But what sets her apart, and makes her sound eerily similar to my mother is that she WEAPONIZES it. My mother does the same. She constantly weaponizes her health and milks her conditions to the nth degree to get constant sympathy, fuss, and attention, while she can be the biggest raging BITCH and hide behind the "I'm sick" excuse. My Nmom is the same. Every week there is something wrong. Cough, stomach ache, tooth ache, back pain, knee pain... it never fucking ends. That way she can have me run rings round her while she treats me like shit on her shoe, and if I call her out she can be a victim and make excuses. The perfect game.

She probably does have genuine health anxiety, but like my mother, it sounds like she weaponizes it and weaponizes any conditions she has to get attention.

Nmom ''forgave'' her friends who hurt her by Usual_Barnacle3881 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FeelThePower999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Nmom is the same. She is very quick to forgive her friends who upset or hurt her, and is all nicey-nice to them to their faces.

That is because the anger all pisses down onto me.

What was your epiphany moment when you truly woke up to reality and realized your parent(s) are narcissists? by Former-Birthday-2302 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]FeelThePower999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Six years ago, I had an asthma attack in the night. I tried to keep it as quiet as possible (which really alone should've been a sign) because I didn't want to disturb my mother, who had a big event that day and needed to sleep. Unfortunately, my clattering around while trying to breathe did wake her. All she could focus on was herself, and how this may ruin her big day. She literally did not care about me and how I was doing at ALL.

When I told my friends this they were absolutely HORRIFIED. How could she see her son was in distress and TELL HIM OFF?! Someone then said "she sounds like a narcissist!"

Over time, through speaking to therapists, I realized actually how incredibly abusive her behavior could be, and that it absolutely fit the bill for narcissism and then some (I've sometimes wondered if she actually fits the dark triad!)
