I don't mean someone who cut you off in traffic or forgot your birthday. I mean someone who can peg the DSM meter(Criteria below) You need not satisfy every one. They're the worst.
Got it? Anyone you know with this disorder?
For me, it's my girlfriend's mother. I won't bore you with everything; suffice it to say that nothing you do is ever good enough(or even the "right" thing). I've been criticized harshly for: --Bringing her brownies from the bakery --Visiting sick family members in the hospital --Attending the wake and funeral of my girlfriend's father(her husband; I actually got a "review")
Years ago, I was informed that she kept in regular touch with my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. Then she wonders why I want nothing to do with her.
Today, I found out that she talks to his family too.
The ex died two years ago.
This is what I'm talking about.
Anyone else dealing with these loathsome individuals?

So the narc in my life maybe has not meant to be this way..but it hurt and shaped who I felt I was. They diminish me, chastise any single thing, question anything I do , causing self doubt, blame ME for them getting upset, and rage if anything does not go just how they want. I'm sorry for your experiences too 🐞.
