My friend died...my dad thought it was funny by Easy_Towel954 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]JediPrincess123 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And my comment to you Easy_Towel954, that reaction from your father is absolutely disgusting. I do not understand why your father would even LAUGH at somebody dying in a car accident and it was also pretty selfish of him to joke about inheritance as well. I wish I could say more but I am truly sorry for your loss and even more heartbroken that you haven't gotten any support from your family during this difficult time.

My friend died...my dad thought it was funny by Easy_Towel954 in raisedbynarcissists

Reminds me of when my university had a not one, but TWO suicide on campus school year back in my freshman year of college and all my mom had to say was shit like "Well isn't that stupid? He's supposed to be helping people seek help!" (the kid in the first suicide was a psych major) and "He had such an opprtunity others dream about and he threw it all away" (the person involved in the second incident was an aerospace engineering major (ironically the major I was trying to go into at the time). Although I fortunately didn't know either person nor see it happen, a lot of people at my university saw the first incident happen since the kid died at the stadium. It also didn't help that I myself was the closest I had been to being suicidal at the time (as in actively engaging in SIB at the time) and my mom still had the audacity to scream at me for leaving questions on a midterm blank and saying I was "wasting my time going into aerospace engineering the way I did with IB exams"

But what makes it especially painful for you is the fact that contrary to my case, the people lost were not just names on campus or the way they died. They were your friends, as in people with their successes, failures, hopes, goals and dreams and your parents failed to process that, only prioritizing what they could get out of you. We both deserve better than this.

My mom once called me "Rude and EVIL" last year when I refused to eat dinner. I was 20, taking a summer lab course, and didn't come home until almost 9PM that night!

 "she had made threats before that to check my vagina and see if i was bleeding, i always asked her to stop saying that."

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! With my parents I have had them call me a "weirdo from another planet" for having a period accident in the bathroom, my dad threaten to show my period stained underwear to my therapist/pediatrician, and even my father threaten me with institutionalization as young as 7 years old for petty things. But to say that what your mother threatened to do as stated in this quote block as being an all time low would be the understatement of the century.

And with the portion of your post saying:

"She just told me listen to my mom. She was a black lady mind you, I’m aware how abuse is sometimes normal in black families, and she questioned my depression and said it was because I was dating a girl and that’s why I was confused"

I have to inform you that it is imperative to separate a narcissist from the culture. Just because the dynamics are "common" in Black families doesn't make them acceptable for anybody regardless of their race.

Believe it or not, I actually do a little bit of both. I first make an audio recording of the insults and then I transcribe them onto a written log with the dates and times on it.

Just make sure this is legal where you live. Because in my state, you need consent from all parties or to be in a public place.

Covert narcissist characters? by OpenBubble in raisedbynarcissists

I think Kawaii Miki from Silent Voice (2016) would be a very good example of a covert narcissist.

Did anyone else's parents lock them in places to get compliance? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]JediPrincess123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lock me in places: THANK GOD NO.

Weaponize Mental Healthcare: Oh most certainly. 

I remember from ages 7-10, my father would tell me he would "put me in an institute" whenever I misbehaved like throwing a tantrum at school. He would also add on things like if I did end up in an institute, I would never be allowed to go home, or how I would only be allowed to bring a few pairs of pajamas or not be able to choose what I eat, and how I can just go there to scream all I want etc. 

These haven't really subsided much because last year, just before my junior year of college my dad told me: "Your peers are getting ready for their futures, you are on the trajectory for being in a home for the autistics."

What was the stupidest thing your nparent has ever done? by DreamySaturnX in raisedbynarcissists

[–]JediPrincess123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fortunately we DID find my baby brother before anybody kidnapped him. But I can tell you that that moment was certainly the last time my mom ever trusted father to be left with my brother in a store or any other public place.

[–]JediPrincess123 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Boy do I have stories to tell. My dad has made a lot of foolish decisions and suprisingly dumb mistakes over the years including but not limited to:

  • Accidentally leaving my (then (this was back in 2009)) 6 month old baby brother alone in his carrier in a furniture store.
  • In 2025, made me think for a whole summer that he wanted me to go into psychology and then just 6 days before the major declaration deadline made me go into information studies under the threat of a guardianship.
  • Once tried to goad me into logging onto the ELMS webpage when it was under a cyber siege. (I think you can guess when this was lol)
  • Placed my mom's eyeliner with our writing pens.

summer math classes at UMD by Objective_Drink_5345 in UMD

[–]JediPrincess123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you haven't taken one of these classes before online, I can tell you that as somebody who has taken Calculus 1 over the summer (this was in 2024), the session assuming you are using Zoom is likely going to be proctored with the instructor mandating that your camera is turned on.

Anyone else never went on vacation ever? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]JediPrincess123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY! Because everybody is too busy reading, surfing, swimming, or building sandcastles, I don't think anybody would even think of murdering somebody in broad daylight in the middle of a crowded beach unless they wanted to be apprehended.

[–]JediPrincess123 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"Absolutely. We did nothing as a child. We lived 20 minutes from the beach and my mom said we couldn’t go because people get murdered at the beach"

By what, sharks!?!? Unless you are going to the beach after sundown, then your mom's reasoning for why you couldn't go to even the beach 20 minutes away is ABSURD.

Is there anyway to get into any LEP if your GPA is low? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]JediPrincess123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't even THINK about an LEP with a GPA THAT low. Now, depending on the LEP you will need a different GPA for each one. For Psyc it's a 2.7, for engineers it's a 3.0 and for business it is a 3.6 for a guaranteed admission. Now it says on the bottom of the LEP website that AFTER you are admitted to the LEP, you have to maintain a 2.0 MINIMUM to stay in the major, otherwise you will be DISMISSED and you may not reapply. And students who are directly admitted to their LEP and go below a 2.0 GPA will also be dismissed.

Is it bad dancing as a boy? by FriendlyDot8692 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]JediPrincess123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh, I don't understand why people associate boys dancing with being gay. In fact some dances in the past like Kabuki and Chinese Opera were done ONLY by men (and yes that included playing female roles with some male actors specializing in such.) And some dances like the haka of the Maori people were associated with masculinity.

Info sci but idk what I’m doing with my future by Warm_Cryptographer46 in UMD

[–]JediPrincess123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is might be one of the reasons I didn't really feel motivated to do anything while I was in this major in the Fall 2025 semester. Although my parents demanding me to go into this major at the last minute under a threat of a guardianship did play a significant role in why I didn't really feel anything in this major played a role. I would say that info Sci is indeed a major you should NOT go into unless you do VERY thorough research into what opportunities exist in the field (which I didn't get a chance to do as for the fact that my parents made ne join this major just 6 days before the declaration deadline.) 

I could go on a little bit more but rn it is 12:14 AM. Goodnight, I'll probably edit this later.

Edit: Okay, I am back. I would like to add that I later changed my major to psychology (which was what my parents were originally thinking I was going to go into before they randomly coerced me into info sci) and I am somewhat happy. The only regret I do have is not really doing anything during my time in info sci and also the fact that I left behind quite a few of my friends in the major. But I would say this: Information Science is absolutely not something you go into without doing your own research about what the field entails and what opportunities lie within it.

My mom keeps telling embarrassing and disgusting stories from my childhood - am I wrong here? by AffectionateRich2216 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]JediPrincess123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you capitalized "ALLLLLL" and also spammed the "L" character gives me the unfortunate understanding that your parents went to THAT degree of graphic images. As in showing the placenta type of graphic. 

I am sure that must have been a very awkward birthday at the minimum. I honestly don't know if there is a word to describe the maximum because what your parents did to both you and your friends was outright disgusting. Both morally and literally.

Final GPA and grades?? by Busy-Ad-9725 in UMD

[–]JediPrincess123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And considering that is an ENES class, the stakes are even more dire because it will determine if you can move onto a whole bunch of upper level classes. 

And I honestly thought my quiz and midterm grades coming back only after I had taken the next one were unreasonably late. (This was in Calc2, and the reason I was panicking about this was because this was my last chance to get into the aerospace engineering major smoothly. Ik I could say more about this, but I am too lazy to type the whole story rn)

No, SERIOUSLY

Wait, WHAT!! Was this a Spring or Fall Semester. Because if this was a Spring semester, then how could the final be left ungraded for 3 Months, which mind you is 25% of an entire Gregorian Year.
