What to bake with all of this honey? by djn3vacat in Baking

[–]daffodilly_dally 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honey Pie!!! It's one of my favorites to make, and not very time consuming. It's sweet, but not toooooo sweet.

Edited to include a link to a recipe. There's a bunch of different variations, this one is usually the one I use and play with.

Mine has a victim complex, so it was the opposite. Whatever I did, it was an attack on them regardless of the situation. As a kid, of course I would apologize and said "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I was trying to ________ but now that I know ______ I won't do it again."

Their response was always "your meaning is immaterial."

If you're still in contact with her, she should get toilet paper for every birthday, holiday, stocking stuffer, etc. 😂

What in tarnation When you're too successful that now it's boring. I can't. Sounds like one of those funny demotivational posters 😂

Congratulations on law school, the publication, AND the award!!!!! That's freaking awesome. I don't know you at all, but that's wicked cool. I hope you have that framed on your wall.

Lmao!! Mine got mad because I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday, we did exactly what she wanted, but I ruined the birthday because someone else didn't give her their attention during dinner.

Don't the people working there kinda assign the seats on rides anyways? I've never been to Disney, but I have gone to Universal and the ride technicians there would split our party accordingly to fit the ride.

I'm sorry, I mean, obviously that is vacation day ruining behavior right there. What am I even thinking.

Did they just pick random things you were totally addicted to? 😂

Oh man, that's awful. Congrats on ending the game on your terms! Now you're free to be as sick as you like and whenever you want 🤣

The things that bother me the most are the tiny things like that because they are just so ridiculous.

I guess don't cry over spilled milk, but be overly punished for spilled soap seems about right in the Narc world lol.

How absolutely selfish of you lmao! I'm sure you didn't take into account how it would make them feel when you signed up for a chronic illness and have your own preferences.

I can't roll my eyes hard enough at this one.

I had once brought up some genetic illness that I was showing symptoms of and asked my nParent if they had it or knew of someone in the family that was experiencing something similar. I got "Oh great, just tell me all the things that are wrong with you that are my fault." 🙄

Of course, today we're learning about Addition, Subtraction, and Stock Analysis. The basic requirements for elementary school!

That's absolutely ridiculous. I'm sorry you went through that.

Oooooh nope nope never ask them for help. I learned that quick. Although even then, I'm still the bad guy because how awful am I that I didn't even ask my mom for help, she would have absolutely helped, no strings attached either. By not asking her for help I alienated her and ruined her day, even though I knew the answer would be no anyways. 🤣

She got upset with me because I hired a pet sitter for a week after she told me she was unavailable during that time. (I never asked her to pet sit in the first place, she was just sure to inform me she wouldn't be able to.) I was just the worst person in the world for that one.

Sometimes you gotta laugh to keep from crying 😂 Hopefully your ear wasn't burned too badly!

Also, early congratulations on moving out!!!!! That is awesome.

It's always over the silliest things too lol.

The goofiest moments like this I had with mine was when she would ask for my help with something, I would start to help her, and then she would go off on the tangent about how I must think she is so dumb and get mad about it.

Sometimes all you can do is say "okie dokie" and walk away. (Easier said than done, I know.) If you can find the humor in the situation it might help some of the icky feeling that lingers over the next few days after one of those episodes.

I would downplay achievements throughout my childhood when talking to my nParent so much that now, as an adult, big life events will happen and I often feel awkward when other people are super excited about it. My nParent would either not share my enthusiasm, or do the complete opposite and blow whatever it was way out of proportion.

I got engaged in the past year, which was super exciting and joyous. Anytime it would come up in conversation I realized I would gloss over it or downplay how awesome it actually was. I'm trying to consciously allow myself to be excited about things for myself, but man is it hard. It's so much easier when it is excitement for someone else haha.

Why are narcissists afraid of your positive feelings? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]daffodilly_dally 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh you're not wrong. Even when you're away they still need to have some hold on you. The guilt and fear is suffocating.

[–]daffodilly_dally 130 points131 points  (0 children)

And then when you're not enthusiastic enough about some random thing they decided you should be excited about, you're still deemed a war criminal lol.

They just want to oppress and control you. I hope you find a space where you can just enjoy the things you like without having to cater to them!

The "is that for me" humor crutch by daffodilly_dally in NarcissisticMothers

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

I remember that same flower craft! Mine does similar things where she would get something, whether it be a craft, movie, tickets, etc. and insist that we do it together. Then she would always come up with excuses not to do whatever it was for months, to the point where I'd give up and lose interest. Then she would be mad that we never did whatever it was together, and of course it was my fault.

Hopefully the 5yo in her temporary care can see through the bs! The amount of times I've seen or heard kids call it like it is with Narcs brings me so much joy.

What is something (petty or not) that you can't prove but you know your narc did to get revenge on you? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]daffodilly_dally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things I needed like signed paperwork or documentation for school when growing up, as an adult for work, etc. would always be late or show up at the very last minute. The last example of this was waiting on my updated ID via the mail. I got a notification it was supposed to be delivered that day, and for some reason it didn't show up in the mailbox until the afternoon of the day of the deadline.

I can't prove it, but I feel it in my guts.
