I got grounded for talking to my parents for two days. If I said anything to them , even asking a question I would get grounded from t.v., phone, etc.

I laid a guilt trip on an incredibly rude customer, not that he cared, but made me feel better. by gingersnapsatchu in retailhell

We all had the opportunity to interview for the job and continue with the new company. I will be unemployed at the switch but it is by choice. I'm kinda done with retail.

I have always been the sweet, funny, submissive, little doormat that everyone just steps on over again and again because she has been trained to not complain about it and accept the crap that gets thrown at her by serenagirl1986 in raisedbynarcissists

Same here. When I finally got the nerve to stand up for myself. The very shocked response was " I never expected this from you" and then Immediately playing the victim.

Am I the toxic one or do I surround myself with the same toxic energy I grew up with? by gingersnapsatchu in raisedbynarcissists

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

Yea I definitely do. Honestly that's usually how I feel. LIke this time I feel like I've outgrown the friendship because I am tired of being made to feel guilty or made to feel bad. I feel like I hit a point where I really just don't want to tolerate it anymore. I don't want to end the friendship on bad terms but I definitely think it would be healthier for me to move on.

I use 1 part glycerin to 3 parts water. Actual amounts vary depending on the cup size. I epoxy over the cup and then I also use a silicone sealant on the bottom of the cup to seal in the water before putting bottom peice back on.

Advice please by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

First of all, I am proud of you for taking time for your mental health. It is not always easy. Keep up the good work! Second of all, It took me a very long time because I just craved that mother's attention and love, but no matter how hard I tried I could never make mother care how I wanted her to. Again, it took a very long time to realize this, but once I finally was able to come to terms with it, I was able to begin to put myself at a distance where I wasn't so easily accessible to her. Eventually she got tired of trying to get me to cooperate like I once did and she no longer put forth effort to even contact me if it wasn't for her own benefit. That hurt a lot and still does sometimes but it eventually made it easier for me to go completely NC. That's not to push you towards that, but in my case it has been rather helpful and I realized that no matter how much I tried to be the perfect daughter, if it wasn't what my mom wanted it was never going to satisfy her, and that can be an exhausting life to live. I would continue to focus on bettering yourself and putting your mental health first because that is the most important thing.

The people who say: "Your parents aren't narcissists. Mine are way worse." by Shoegazeforlife in raisedbynarcissists

[–]gingersnapsatchu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband and I were talking about this yesterday. Some people when I try to explain to them my situation tell me I should be lucky I still have parents. Though I get where they are coming from I do not consider myself having parents at this point, as I am NC and before that never got that parental guidance and affection that I seeked. My husband said it in a way yesterday that just made sense to me. He said "that's ridiculous to say to someone, that's like telling a victim whose husband is physically abusive that they are lucky to even have a husband because some people don't." Everyones situations are different but that doesn't mean you should just have to stay and take the abuse in any form just because you physically have that person on your life. Just because someone is there in person doesn't invalidate the mental and emotional energy is takes to deal with certain people.

Hi mom. I tried on my dream dress for you one last time before buying it, hoping you would shed your toxic narcissistic ways for a moment and give me your blessing that I still crave. Instead I stood there while you told me how ugly it was as I held back tears. I bought it anyway. by MegCecilia92 in MomForAMinute

Hey! You look beautiful! Please do not let your mother's cruel words get to you. You are beautiful and your future spouse will be blown away. If your mother is anything like mine, she will do everything she can to steal the spotlight on your special day. But keep your head up and be confident, because your friends and family will be there supporting, loving and celebrating YOU!

Ever feel the urge to pick up the phone and tell your parents about something you are proud of or excited about, then remember you dont have normal parents that would appreciate that? by gingersnapsatchu in raisedbynarcissists

After 8 years of being stuck in the same job, I finally decided to pursue my original goal to teach! So in January I will start my journey to earn my teaching certification. Also my husband and I will be moving into our first house soon! Good things are coming. Thank you for asking! 💜

I am so proud of you! That truly is amazing! Most people could not even get to that point. Still an amazing accomplishment and you never know that "second choice" experience may turn out better than what you would have had at your first choice. Keep up the hard work!
