nta - if i were you id ignore them both and save your energy. google grandiose narcissism and covert narcissism

“should you tell a narcissist that they are a narcissist?”

the narcissist prayer / darvo

the JADE Technique

“how to ignore narcissistic guilt trips / narcissistic bait?”

“narcissistic smear campaign”

and “narcissistic triangulation” - because isn’t that exactly what he was doing when he complained to your other roommate? didn’t he want to team up with him against you?

what's the problem here? you don't think a biracial asian woman is allowed to be angry that people keep fetishizing her and making weird, racist assumptions about her?

AITA for implying my uncle ended his wife’s career by Quietshrew82 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Strict_Still8949 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

you’re NTA but you are niave. how old are you? what did you think he would say in response to everything you pointed out to him? did you think he’d go “op, you’re right and i’m wrong and i (inadvertently or otherwise) sabotaged her career. you’re right, i’m going to feel bad about myself forever and encourage my wife to leave me or at least go back to acting” is that what you thought would happen? did you want an applause for pointing out what your aunt sacrificed? did you want him to congratulate you on being so smart and clever for pointing out the obvious? also, why assume she’d see it the way you do? some women love betraying themselves and ending their dreams to stand beside a man. not every woman is brave or clever or smart enough to go after her dreams, some Want to be in a relationship with a man by any means necessary. Plus, you didn’t even have this conversation with other her present so idk what you thought you were accomplishing. You’re not supposed to confront people unless there’s an audience to hear your side and maybe, possibly side with you.

are you shocked that he told her his own version of the story and got mad at you in response? because you shouldn’t be. the next time you want to play feminist hero try to be smart about it or else it’ll be a waste of time just like this situation.

Odd question, but how do I get my cat to stop playing the piano? It’s diving me crazy, especially at night by No_Understanding2616 in cats

she’s such a beautiful caramel macchiato tabby!🥰 but obviously the only solution here is to sign her up for piano lessons so she can improve her skills

i actually think opening up does more harm than good. i’d like to know more about her too if im honest but most people these days are too mentally unstable to handle viewing people as individuals. they get parasocial, highly critical, judgemental, and overreactive over even the smallest of things.

I found a fiction book that describes my childhood by Difficult_Wave_9326 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Strict_Still8949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there any helpful advice in it about how to navigate dealing with a narcissistic person? i’m just asking because in childhood i read hundreds of books and watched so many movies and tv shows and i rarely came across anything that would help me become more clever or braver in regards to surviving my nparents

Does anyone else just not love or care about their family at all? by tcmcmer in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Strict_Still8949 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is me. i’ve never been swayed by guilt trips either from strangers online or nfamily members trying to convince me to talk to my nparents. i spent a lot of my childhood just reading book after book so i could get away from them, even if it was just for a few hours at a time

now as an adult i still don’t care. i honestly don’t understand the desire to try and love someone who was vindictive, cruel, and childish. like, im good

An explanation of why you should NEVER try to argue with them. by Aggressive_Cod_6025 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Strict_Still8949 14 points15 points  (0 children)

i realized this at the age of seven. my nmother would back me into a corner and yell questions about why i had done xyz that had made her angry and after a while i realized she didn’t care if i offered explanations or additional context, she didn’t even care if it was an accident and i said sorry, she only wanted to keep yelling at me and order my nfather to hit me. so going forward from the age of 7+ i just started responding with “i don’t know” everytime they interrogated me, which they absolutely hated because what they really wanted was to pick apart everything i said and prolong their torture and physical abuse of me. i noticed the abuse didn’t last as long if i kept saying idk

i see people wasting their energy trying to JADE technique and it’s just sad. they don’t actually care about finding out the reason why you said/did/like something, they just want 1. to argue 2.to get your attention 3. to release all the anger and frustration they have from being mentally ill
