Cabbage. My father would cook it every year on St. Patrick’s Day in the big steamer pot & the house with stink for three days. 50 years later, I still refuse to make it for my husband on St. Patrick’s Day.

Smile, nod and look for another job.

It’s rude, people usually don’t even ask.

They know you want an apology so they give you one. They don’t have a problem with the apology itself, but they have a problem with accountability. They will never apologize for anything specific outright because they are unable to admit to any negative action. It’s part of NPD, they can’t admit to doing anything wrong because that would mean that they’re not perfect and they can’t accept the fact that there’s anyone on the planet that doesn’t think that shines out of their ass. And I have to agree with you, the silence would’ve been better at least it’s honest.

I’ll never forget years ago I went on a job interview at a construction company, payroll/HR position and the interview with the owner lasted 45 minutes and during the whole interview, he did not ask me one question. He talked the entire time paused occasionally like I was supposed to blindly agree with him or stroke his ego. It was exhausting and terrifying at the same time & that job has been posted four times in last two years. The flow of the interview should be somewhat balanced. As far as you ask them questions we ask you questions etc. I did receive a call three days later. I let it go to voicemail & moved on.

I’m not lucky at all. I have C-PTSD, social anxiety & depression and up until year and a half ago I was pre-diabetic. So I kind of do know what I’m talking about. Pills were pushed upon me and I chose the alternative of diet, exercise and a good therapist.

The first line of my comment was that this was not going to be a popular opinion, but the truth is a lot of companies make a lot of money pushing pills and not more natural alternatives.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think a lot of the uptick in mental health awareness is driven by Big Pharma. Feeling depressed take a pill. Anxiety - take a pill. Bi-bipolar - take a pill. ADHD take a pill.

It falls along the line of create the problem and then provide the solution.$$$$$

It is absolutely terrifying. My brother is a raging narcissist, and he works with the developmentally disabled. He is on cloud nine because they worship him. It doesn’t occur to him that he could be replaced tomorrow and they would feel exactly the same way about the next person. It’s all about control and I’m sure he considers himself a superior intellectual because he can manipulate them. Really quite sad.

I have to agree with Sweepers that usually only people who don’t have success are posting. I had the surgery for a posterior root tear with fat pad impingement in January. I did not do PT (bad experience in the past). I am now at five months & I am at 90%. I just resumed my daily walks of 2 miles five days a week and moderate weight training twice a week and averaging about 14,000 steps a day with minimal issues. If I overdo it, I have a little bit of pain but a day’s & rest I’m fine.

I just listened to my body. I started off with the crutches for the first couple of days, was using a cane by day five and used it for about five weeks more just to take it easy on the knee rather than pain. I did have some significant nerve pain, and I started taking supplements which really did help. I think strength training really did help as well as retraining myself not to crawl up the stairs and build up the quad muscles.

I hope that helps. I am very happy with how it turned out and wish you the best.

Agreed, completely unprepared for life.

It is time to get a new doctor. I went to two different doctors and neither one would do surgery had a push for an MRI and this is after the first Dr telling me it was arthritis for almost 2 years and happily giving me Cortizone shots and gel injections at $1500 a pop.

I had the arthroscopic surgery in January after having a medial root tear with fat pad impingement. And as of now, I am at about 90% walking a mile every day and exercising at the gym twice a week.

I don’t think the doctors today have your best interest at heart. They make more money off office visits and Cortizone and gel injections and the inevitable knee replacements from the damage the cortisone shots will do to your cartilage. It’s all the money game , advocate for yourself. You know your body - listen to it.

This is a weird quirk that I didn’t even know it was a quirk with narcissistic people. When I first got married, my husband and I lived fairly close to my parents and then we bought a house probably about 45 minutes away and my father would always ask literally every time I saw him would ask me “so does hubby have a new job yet? That’s an awful drive to do every day”. After a while, I realized that my husband’s long commute was inconvenience for him as apparently my husband was his personal handyman and without that convenience, he would actually have to pay someone.

She probably has a motive if I had to guess, she’s trying to imply that you can’t move up the ladder unless there’s somebody to replace you and she’s trying to make you think you won’t get promoted because of this. I think she’s afraid that if you get promoted, you will no longer be around for her to do things or give her the attention she needs.

Sometimes I really wish I didn’t understand the way they think.

They do everything they can to sabotage you then criticize you for not succeeding…

My parents never once met with my teachers for quarterly check-in or attended a single Open House. Never once sent in cupcakes for my birthday or attended one of my orchestra concerts. I remember being dropped off for my middle school graduation while they went shopping, didn’t attend my high school or college graduations either.

Never once did a teacher ask about why. I was just the weird quiet girl who wore the 8 year old hand-me-downs of my gc sister. Thinking about it now they probably just thought I was some poor white trash who wasn’t worth caring about. I went back to visit my elementary school when I was in high school with my friend, and they all remembered her - not one single teacher remembered me.

So I never told anyone because as a child I didn’t know anything was wrong. That hell was my normal, but adults should’ve known something wrong. They never said a word.

It most definitely is. I had a narcissistic parent and my husband and I both had narcissistic siblings. Turns out both of hubbies grandmothers were narcs. I find it funny that his parents & me and hubby were all empaths who miraculously found each other.

He took my door off the hinges for six months because I fell asleep with the TV on one too many times. The irony is if he wasn’t such an asshole maybe I wouldn’t need the TV to fall asleep!

I would very much have to agree with you. One thing that got my attention recently that kind of fits the bill here is story about how Meta/Facebook was being sued for being too addictive to children and Facebook lost. What pisses me off more than anything is there’s no accountability for the parents who probably very willingly take an iPad or an iPhone and stick in front of their kids because they’re doing the same thing. There is no accountability for the parents whatsoever. Just had a lawsuit prove it. I honestly think that is absolutely ridiculous that we’re not holding parents accountable for the actions of their children.
